If you need me I will be in bed crying.
And then I will get up and fight for the things that matter, like Efeso did.
What profound, deeply unfair loss.
Please watch his maiden speech if you haven't. To grasp what we as a nation have lost. #nzpol
Love to his whānau, friends & my kākāriki fam.

Nothing but respect for my prime minister.

"So in a few days, on Friday, we’re going to Zoom. In a true New Zealand stereotype I am going to be in Hobbiton — the actual fucking Shire — recording a Flightless Bird podcast episode, while Hamish zooms in from the US."

On this day every year I’m reminded of this poem that I’ve taken from a friends fb
Remember remember the 5th of November,
the peaceful resistors who bled.
I see no reason why past English treason
should now be remembered instead. #parihaka
