@TeReoNoob There is an indigenous tweets website that generates a list 😁

@mahisian_wahine This is hilarious. When I had a korero with Pa Leon Blake (he's translating philosophers stone), he said that we had our own karakia for some of the spells that they use; especially for things like invisibility. Tika tāu miss 12 😍

Some of ya'll don't know the difference between privileges and rights and it damn well shows.

Sit ya colonising ass down and get educated ffs

[Simeon Brown @SimeonBrownMP]

Tearing down statues is not the Kiwi way.

[Rex Paraku @RexParaku]

@RBeckons @amscraig Also, guess who dictates what 'socially acceptable behavior' looks like? Ding, ding, ding the colonizing majority. Nobody is saying all lives don't matter. Stop twisting the movement and villainizing the cause.

[Rex Paraku @RexParaku]

@RBeckons @amscraig The last thing we need is for someone to whitesplain and categorize the way we feel about this. Sublimation is a defense mechanism that satisfies an impulse with a substitute object (in a constructive or socially acceptable way). Guess what else is a defense mechanism? DENIAL.

@mahisian_wahine So very proud of how miss 12 carries herself. Its a reflection of an amazing job you're doing with her 💞

I honestly don't know how people can channel anger into one tweet. Have so many thoughts about various kaupapa but my brain thinks 1000x faster than my fingers can tweet. Loving the rhetoric in support of important kaupapa - the good, the bad and the sassy 👏👏👏

[NikkiPoney @NikkiPoney]

Saying “All Lives Matter” as a response to “Black Lives Matter” is like saying the fire department should spray down all houses in a neighborhood even though only one house is on fire...because all houses matter. Yes, your house matters too, BUT YOUR HOUSE IS NOT ON FIRE???

Decol in its simplest form

This is so amazing 😭 #myindigenousbrothers

That awkward pause on a 1v1 zoom hui when you are both trying to logout 🥴 Longest 5 seconds ever!

[Rex Paraku @RexParaku]

@mahisian_wahine Had to do my own research on this! Pōuri ana te ngākau.

[Clarke Gayford @NZClarke]

Spare a thought today for anyone suffering a form of cognitive dissonance causing dismay that the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff is empty because the fence at the top is working.

[Rex Paraku @RexParaku]

Rarely get days like this in the Manawatū. The taiao is toying with us cause we're stuck at home 🙄

[Rex Paraku @RexParaku]

@mahisian_wahine Hardout! This was their birthday present. But we might go to Aussie by Jovahnni instead. A cheaper getaway and they can come back with some new gears!

[Rex Paraku @RexParaku]

Have a cruise booked for June/July with pocruises and am livid with the way they treat their customers. Apparently risk of coronavirus isn't a good enough reason to receive a full refund 🤷🏾‍♂️😡. Instead we will be paying what we've already paid, and a little bit more for cancelling
