I listen to this song everyday.
Everyday when I wake up.
It helps keep me from
forgetting about Minneapolis.

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.

Fourth, I love Australians.

I love your sense of humour and your birds.

Let me just share in the fun stuff please.

Friend me.

Kiwi here.

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.
