Hey Mark Zuckerberg, . Stop messing with me talking to Kansas. You can take away my pm rights on Threads. But the story? I already got the story. Now you just look like you are against Kansans speaking out. It’s not a bright move, Mark. You forgot I have other platforms. 👊❤️🇳🇿😂

I have written a new article. I write too much for BlueSky format. But it’s on substack. Two articles now. Why? Alabama? Because James wrote me and convinced me. Why? Minnesota? Because I heard so many voices, I could not sleep without dreaming I was in Minneapolis. 👊❤️🇳🇿

I recently started writing people’s stories that could not tell their own stories. This one is long but incredibly important. It’s from Minnesota. It’s free on substack. open.substack.com/pub/jeweltur...

I listen to this song everyday. Everyday when I wake up. It helps keep me from forgetting about Minneapolis. . . . 👊❤️🇳🇿 m.youtube.com/watch?v=BRHx... @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

Seventh, I love birds. While the world news takes my eyes off them, I need them to fill my soul. I am a bird photographer. I don’t know how often I will share my photos. But they are a massive part of my life. I love native NZ birds and also birds anywhere fascinate me and fill me with wonder. 🇳🇿

Sixth, I love Portland. Oregon. I have been there many times. I know how to honk when parking at Powell’s Bookstore. I know about the Llamas at the airport. I know about the frog protester who is Hispanic. Friend me. I am an ally. 👊❤️🇳🇿

Fifth, this one is going to be nearly impossible. I had real friends. Real in person Iranian friends. And some Thriends from Iran. They have all fallen silent on Threads. I know the internet is down. I am not expecting miracles. But if you care about Iran, let’s be friends. 👊❤️🇳🇿

Third, I am a Kiwi. I want to know New Zealanders. All New Zealanders. I don’t care which party. I am a bit of an environmentalist. But I report news that matters. And on NZ birds. If you can handle some left leaning on seabed issues; friend me please.

Second, I want to know friends from Greenland and Denmark. I know the big story feels like people aren’t watching now. But you are still on my heart. How can I meet you? 👊❤️🇳🇿

So I have no idea how to build what I had on threads or even if this is the right place for me. First thing I need is friends from Minneapolis. How can I meet you? I want to know you and see you + be a support from New Zealand. I am good at finding and amplifying stories once I can see them. ❤️👊🇳🇿

🎤 Is this thing on? Kia ora, I’m a nobody from New Zealand. I am a Thread’s refugee. I studied journalism when it meant something. 🤷 I cover world events, as it’s a critical moment in history. I cover Minneapolis, WH, Greenland, NZ, OZ, Iran, birds, etc. I am really funny too. —-❤️👊🇳🇿
