@daddy_papa_pepi Are you guys ok?

“While white fragility may present itself as the inability to withstand even the slightest discomfort, we must always remember that white feelings are protected by systems of white might that are anything but fragile.” — Tina Ngata e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-an…

@ruapapasnz Weird! I hope it resolves soon!

@ruapapasnz Is your blood pressure ok? I had the visual disturbance late in my pregnancy and it turned out to be pre-eclampsia.

“It’s this belief — ‘I am a good person and therefore incapable of wrongdoing’ — that makes institutional racism almost impossible to combat. The reality is we are all capable of perpetuating harm against one group of people or another.” — Tīhema Baker e-tangata.co.nz/arts/putting-p…

@taramcallister4 You got this e hoa!

@caffynz It does look like it!

@RobynCarter @hellomotorbike I actually love the te reo Māori interspersed with the English - it helps me with my learning journey as part of my journey to explore my whakapapa. And I'm Deaf too.

@hellomotorbike I struggle with the increase of te reo used on TV. Not because I don't like it, but because I'm deaf, - it's hard enough following English let alone Maori words interspersed with it. With 800,000 hard of hearing ppl in NZ, I wonder if this has impacted the reasoning behind this

Deeply distressing to see aged New Zealanders so deeply concerned and angry about the use of Te Reo. My Grandfathers fought alongside Māori Battalion guys in Crete, North Africa and Italy and he would have been disgusted by the anti Māori bigotry National and Act are encouraging

@taramcallister4 Excuse my language but what the fuck?

@ngataonga Will it be captioned? If not, can you please consider captioning it.

We're excited to announce that the groundbreaking television series Tangata Whenua (1974) will be available to watch online in time for Matariki. Newly digitised and preserved by Ngā Taonga, all episodes can be viewed on TVNZ+ from midday today. 📷 Eva Rickard & Herepo Rongo.

@caffynz @WFDeaf_org Not sure if I want to go - if my LGBTQIA+ friends cannot be there on an equal basis, then what's the point?

@brattandeaf @rejadam @WFDeaf_org I am shocked and disappointed also, especially as some of the Board members are about human rights. Surely that's one of the first things they would check when considering who to recommend.

@rejadam @WFDeaf_org I’m flabbergasted that OM members allowed this to happen. Even more shocked and angry at WFD for allowing this. ‘The World Federation of the Deaf is a global organisation working to ensure equal rights for 70 million people around the globe.’ Not sure if this is true anymore

@catespice Oh jesus can I move in with you?

@whaeavee Oh ka aroha ♥️

@mr45144 Oh Kevin i am so sorry for your loss. Take care

An appropriately dull view for an emergency UK trip. Mum passed Thursday morning so UK here I come. A blessing for her: she hasn’t been at peace for a long time. Battening down for a longhaul with the UK at the far end. See you on the other side (or at Singapore)

@miss_jodyo @taramcallister4 I love Hapa too - always make sure i support their business whenever I am in Christchurch!

@FoxyLustyGrover Could i buy a bunch of houses and give them away to those who need warm homes?

What if your great-uncle has left you $3B but to inherit it you must spend $300 million in 30 days under a complicated set of rules that forbid you from donating too much to charity or retaining any new assets when the period is up.
