Realizing that radical Sovereignty is the only way. Am becoming an unapologetic, Indigenous menace. My only goal from here on out is to make my Ancestors proud.

My current obsession right now is making sleeveless qaspeqs (cuss-pucks) or "vest-puks".
I have to fix my tāne's qaspeq sleeves (which I'm avoiding) but isn't this pretty?
These traditional, unisex Yup'ik clothing items are called qaspeq and they're the inspiration for contemporary "hoodies".

Me. Currently, in Aotearoa.
Yesterday was 80°F/26°C. Today will be like 77°F/25°C.
You'll find me with a fan in my hand and water close by. Indefinitely.

My sons were all about learning about farts and poop when they were little. "The Gas We Pass" and "Everybody Poops" were two well-read titles in my children's library. I got them books about pooping and farting because colon cancer runs in my family. Learn about gut health. It can save your life.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, even the smell of your fart can reveal hidden clues about your digestion and overall health. Smelly, odorless, or sour — each tells a different story. Your body is alw...

Sea change arriving….
Was there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking.
Here's some very quick plots showing NOAAGlobalTempv6 data from October too. And see my earlier posts.

"When the agents entered the apartment, they dragged Jennifer by her hair and pointed an assault rifle at her 13-year-old daughter.
“Put your fucking hands up, stupid,” one agent can be heard yelling, in a brief video Jennifer captured before her phone was knocked from her hand."
