Seeing Pasifika people's projects get taken further and further along to wider audiences (or the right audience(s) it was meant for) makes me tear up inside (in a good way) 🥺☺️

Meet our new family member.
Rescuers found him living behind a liquor store near Livernois & 6 Mile.
They thought he was a girl because he was protecting and raising 3 sick kittens despite being only 6 months old himself. He’s not the mom or the dad, he’s the dad who stepped up 😭
Now he is home!

#WestPapua barely gets mentioned — shocking, right? Indonesia colonizes it, Australia cheers from the sidelines, and the Dutch suddenly develop selective mutism whenever their colonial skeletons start rattling.
But sure, let’s all pretend it’s “complicated.”

Everything the world has ever accused Israel of doing to Palestinians, Indonesia has really done to West Papuans, no one cares. Since Suharto dictatorship of Indonesia annexed West Papua in a 1969 land grab – an estimated 500,000 West Papuans have been killed It’s been an actual genocide

“No, I’m just saying that, just, IN GENERAL, there used to be a lot less of these folks with weird stuff going on with them, you know what I mean? Like where *I* grew up in rural Alabama, we didn’t *HAVE* all this stuff like autism and ADHD and whatever. We should just go back to that, y’know?”

Today's #SecretSantaAoNZ question is a pretty important one.
Make sure you add the hashtag to your replies so it's easily searchable for your Santa. We wouldn't want them to miss it.
