whenever people talk about being "too old" to do anything i think about the access to higher education course i did before university- where i was by far the youngest person in my class, because 90% of my classmates were mothers who were going back to school now that their kids had grown up and moved out. if youve ever wondered "why would anyone wait until their 50s to start a new life path?" there could be a lot of reasons but a common one is "because they had kids straight out of highschool and didnt have time to think about it until now." and i think that should be normal even if you dont plan on having kids. fuck it. life is an ever changing river. grab a paddle yo.

This is already happening – one of the softwares used by a museum I work at only lets you talk to a human help agent if you have their premium subscription. It's such bullshit

the fact you are not the only one in these notes saying "no this is already happening; i have to pay money to speak to a representative" is just... really awesome! you said a software used by museums is doing this shit? okay! great! wonderful!! anybody know where i can scream

Raising kids alone is stressful enough without them being part wolf.

Absolutely love how emotionally aware my child is for a 4 and a half year old do not however love stubbing my toe on the island for the 100th time today and hearing "hey mama it's okay to cry! It's not okay to throw a fit though, and we hafta re-...we have to reconitize the difference"

I'm always very adamant about referring to aotearoa as part of polynesia. because it is!!!

I feel like the harder that fact is to ignore, the harder it is to see aotearoa as some kind of "england: the sequel" bullshit. the endless farmland where native forest should be. the overwhelmingly pākehā/white population. the constant erasure of māori history and knowledge and values and language. this isn't taking place in "new zealand". it's taking place in aotearoa. it's happening in polynesia.

Is that controversial? I've always thought of it as part of Polynesia and wasn't aware anyone thought otherwise.

unfortunately, it's not very common knowledge! there's also an active (and historical) push from a lot of pākehā/white people here to make aotearoa feel less like polynesia and more like europe. both on a cultural and ecological level. all the rolling fields and pastures you see are NOT supposed to be here. I've met people who think it's genuinely in europe because of this!
