Women are getting rid of their Trump supporting partners while they still legally can since they clearly don't give a shit about them or any other woman.

If you're thinking about getting a divorce, you should do it while you still can.

Good luck, ausies. May your election season be less nightmarish.

Let's not forget the important things though.

never forget the universal rule of the order of things: People Will Not Read It

signs at stores? émail? menu ?? instruction ? post online ? caption with andswer to question ? group hand outs ??? street sign ??? no. The Written Word Is The Enemy

I'm curious...

She’s doing stretches in the middle of the doorway

Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke, the youngest MP in Aotearoa, starts a haka to protest the first vote on a bill reinterpreting the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi

Goes insanely hard

To provide further context from what I understand the bill wanted to take the rights guaranteed to the Maori in said treaty and expand them to all New Zealand citizens. The issue with that is that it sort of defeats the point of the protections of the treaty.

The Treaty of Waitangi is not even that good of a treaty. But it is better than any treaty the Crown signed with indigenous peoples

And it absolutely was not meant to be

The treaty as written screws over Māori, and was written in Te Reo Māori and English with deliberately misleading translations to Te Reo Māori. I'm not an expert by any means, but basically the Te Reo Māori version has clauses that promise much more independence and sovereignty, while the English version does not

However

The English version promises them rights as Citizens

From what I remember from University 10+ years ago, this clause, this sentence, was added last minute by the writer of the treaty. Like, right before the big signing at Waitangi.

And the Crown was PISSED

Because now they had a legally binding document that promised, in their own language, to treat Māori with the same rights as they would English. Which was absolutely not the goal. The goal was to trick Māori into signing away their lands and that honestly still did happen. The treaty was not a good faith proposal by the Engliah.

But its still better than anyone else got, and it's better than no treaty. And because nowadays we can't just ignore the Te Reo Māori side of the treaty, the government's of the past few decades have been honouring Māori sovereignty, honouring their stewardship of the land, and undoing a lot of the bad faith "sales" or straight up stolen land.

Except our current fuck nuggets, who want to make Te Reo Māori an endangered language again, and steal back that land because they want to mine on it and sell it and they hate that Māori stewardship is so environmentally focused and not profit driven.

So, in a way, the current government is more true to the intentions of the Crown who initially came up with the treaty.

But since those guys were colonising bastards, I don't see "honouring" them as anything good.

Even with criticism of the treaty, without it, Māori would lose a lot of protections to their lands, their culture, their language, and as a country we would go backwards to a time when they were even more discriminated against

OP WHERE IS REBECCA SILVER.

Roommate is bullying me (<- won't let me eat the cottage cheese I forgot to refrigerate last week)

please do not the cottage cheese

Use by dates are just suggestions anyway

I don't think they are with dairy products, actually

Yeah no if it says keep refrigerated you *need* to keep that stuff refrigerated. I will remind you this is coming from the person who has boiled sleepy time monster.

everyone shut the fuck up i’m trying to focus on my diabolical homosexual thoughts

I'm very sleepy today, but just a quick reminder that "getting upset at routine changes" when you're autistic, does not just mean large changes that cause automatic meltdowns.

It can be needing to have cereal on the day you usually have eggs.

Having to take a side street because of construction.

Your shirt being dirty so you have to choose a different one, but it's not your preferred one.

And it can be a cumulative effect. You'll manage just fine with cereal, but you feel off for the rest of day. And too many routine changes can wipe you out for days

It's not necessarily about the routine itself, sometimes it's the extra spoons required to deal with the unexpected

in order to be a trans girl you just have to be a girl

it really is that fuckin easy you do not need hundreds of dollars of aesthetic products and thousands of dollars in surgery to be a girl. like its so easy you just have to be a girl

it's just that simple!
