Seeing white ppl debate feeding a guest dinner is so funny this is simply not up for discussion in any brown community

@nope_thank_u Lol I literally just tweeted about remembering how this hua acted when she was called out for appropriation.

[Te Awhitawa Thompson @awhitawa]

This hua was snarky when she first got called out for appropriation. She was entitled, dismissive, and arrogant during that exchange. Finding out she is the muppet impersonating Maori to hang up racist flyers doesn't surprise me one bit. #ourcultureisnotyourpaycheck

@13daniellemarks bomber jacket/Hoodie/Activist tee/jeans/gumboots combo was the official uniform. Katmandu jacket was also acceptable if I remember correctly. Someone should do a collection of ihumātao looks and compare with Ye fashion ( Pā Aunties are the blueprint.)

[Te Awhitawa Thompson @awhitawa]

This guy! Stealing Nans and auntie's pā fashion. Just remember Ye, Nan has been doing these looks since the 70s

To be clear, I am not just pro-choice, I am pro-abortion. Abortions are a wonderfully safe and effective medical procedure that saves and improves lives. Every time a person gets an abortion that they need OR want, it is a blessing.

Saw a girl on TT who did both a pregnancy test and Covid test at the same time only to find out they were both positive and someone asked if she got both from the same person and she commented somewhere 'strong sperms and germs' 😭😂

@BeckyKuek Just saw your company, exciting!!Can't wait to see your TikTok project. Absolutely love what Abba is doing, and Gwen is a beassst love her.

[Te Awhitawa Thompson @awhitawa]

@BeckyKuek Especially when white productions continue to make POC content, and POC people jump on their projects to tick a box with no real engagement no meaningful partnership.

2/ - all the intricacies and nuances of the diaspora experience
