Project 2025 was a radical wish list for Trump’s first 100 days; it was a political vision board, of sorts. But then, they pulled it off, exceeding even their own expectations. Now the curtain’s up on an (unscripted!) Act II, and they’re improvising live on stage. Enter chaos stage right, FAR right.

Whether against Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, Ghahraman, Ardern, other MPs, Wiles, Bloomfield, & others involved in pandemic response, transgender activists, drag queens, judges, lawyers or academics - effects of doxxing are inherently harmful, & often leads to kinetic violence or vandalism.

Yeah this sounds like a great idea. I think it would definitely teach us a lot about our global diaspora audience for sure. Will keep you posted on this.... :)

My heart wont let me give up on the arts... I know its hard at the moment, but I refuse to believe this life is impossible to live... I can't believe that or I'll end up walking away from it completely, and never come back. So don't make me quit and go suck dick out on these street corners!! haha!

'Alien Earth' is getting read for filth by the internet. Weirdly, I found it entertaining, but it makes no fricken sense. Literally none. The internal logic and the pay offs are some of the dumbest writing mistakes I've seen on TV, but I still locked in. LMFAO. I still watched the whole thing.

Over the next couple weeks we'll be posting some milestones from our decade long practice. It's been some time since the collective was active on social media. We're keen to get re-acquainted with our online community. Feel free to ask us any questions 🙂☺️

Interesting takes from funders on the use of AI in funding applications.

AI In Applications - Creative Funders Discuss
With the use of AI on the rise, we ask the funding bodies most involved in NZ's arts and creativity sectors how they view and monitor the use of these new technologies in applications.
