Asked little brother to bring it home from his honeymoon, it was exchanged between brothers, it is now somewhere at a design show in Copenhagen - brother is currently flying over the Pacific Ocean. Uni bookstore hit me with an Ad last night, third time lucky! No brothers required! It’s here!

So you know how these sets are made out of already existing pieces - I need to know what these are from. Are they French admiral hats?

@tanugago.bsky.social saw this and immediately wondered if this is your film you’ve been talking about finding a festival for?

Pulled this off the loom yesterday, will be my koha for our kaiako who loves purple.

Nothing like a deadline. Pulled this one off the loom at 4am, alarm’s going off at 7 🤦🏼‍♂️

On the bright side, it’s warm, and heavier than my scarves normally come out. The texture feels cool af and the colour ways blended exactly like I hoped they would.

Back on my weaving bullshit. This scarf took forever for me to complete, I loved the colours before I started but didn’t really like them once I got going. Reminded me of tie-dye? It’s not bad, I just didn’t love it so it’s just been waiting in the corner for me to gain some enthusiasm.

“Chic”. Nasty stale male insult slung at a young WoC meant diminish & dismiss her actions by reframing them as attention seeking, more so, that the attention she must want to seek is that of people who are “elegant” & “refined”.

Your reality is dead bro.
You can’t touch pride like this.

Today the scarf is in Naarm and this has just given me the boost to finish a report I’m avoiding.

I saw a pair of these the last time I was at Zealandia and *knew* rationally I hadn’t seen Huia on account of them being extinct, but the person I spoke to kept insisting I must have seen a myner which has yellow eyes not orange cheeks. TWO YEARS LATER I’m learning what they actually were 😂

Every time I open an app I feel like I’m ricocheting between slapstick horror, some post apocalyptic nightmare, a 90’s what if political satire or a no holds barred David Lynch film.

In my wildest imaginings 10 years ago there is zero chance I would have predicted spending Easter watching kapahaka & hapū play rugby against each other.

Or knowing several of the players.

Or them being whanaunga.

Don’t hold your plans too tightly whānau, ngā Atua have way better imaginations.

Look I’m fucken tired and angry. So no, TVNZ, I don’t want to see you call a children’s entertainer “Xaddy?” after the witch hunt you facilitated & tacitly condoned of a trans MP over the last couple of days.

You can’t have our dollars but not not have our backs you gormless fucks.

20 years in the future, I’m leader of the Nat, I wear terrible suits, I’ve just fucked up healthcare, I’m doing a piece with woman’s day & they ask me why I got into politics.
