A reminder that the brutal occupation of #WestPapua and the ongoing persecution of Indigenous Papuans is a horror that is largely undocumented & invisibilised. Like so much black suffering, furthest away in proximity to Whiteness, their revolution has NOT been televised.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Still agitated about the brazen erasure of Ōtara in the Local Board swearing in of the newest, most inexperienced members last night. But today is a full moon, and the moon is in Taurus, so this bull will let go of this bullSHIT and start strategising and dreaming of alternative realities.

Content creators are adamant in this era, that genuine engagement with your audience requires vulnerability. But the Internet is in its state surveillance era, mining our data for corporations to leverage our own creativity for their algorithms. So tell me how being more human is gonna work. Curious

Just watched 7 men and 0 women get inducted as the 2025-2028 Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board with the 4 inexperienced Indian business owners rejecting even the prospect of a split term of the Chair position. A total domination of #Papatoetoe was actually vulgar to witness. Shame on Papatoetoe Action.
A fucking shit show! Ōtara representatives are being completely blocked from leadership of the the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board by a new bloc of 100% inexperienced, single-issue representatives from Papatoetoe. They vote tonight at their first Board meeting and this is going to be fucking messy.

When people openly lament & agonise about feeling so full from eating a meal, as if their behaviour of eating food including a dessert was a failure of their judgement or a perceived standard, I dunno man… I feel like fat phobia has perverted our ability to just eat and feel satiated…
