Congrats to the creator of this video for being the only funny person on the internet ever

Best part:

‘That Kesha tweet was probably faked …’ *checks* ‘… HUH.’

(Here’s a link to the tweet in question.)

Black child stars, both former and current, deserve better honestly... Like, on top of having to navigate Hollywood and all its trappings, they still have to deal with being a public figure in an antiblack society. And godbless if they don't have good support systems in their private life

I need them to make up at the end and be so soft with each other

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

Toitū te tiriti

Uphold the treaty

Weems: You need to stop with these 'investigations!' It's affecting the whole school's reputation! Wednesday: fuck you. Meanwhile Wednesday: Enid: Go apologise to Thing. Wednesday: ... Wednesday: Yes, mi amor

I just like the idea they flirt with each other on the other persons idea of flirting. Like Wednesday does corny love poems that Enid could know about and Enid just says a bunch of morbid love comments.

*Wednesday in the distance, threatening fast food worker who forgot Enid's ketchup at knife point*

Enid: So... does it ever get better?

Morticia: ...

*Gomez in the distance, ripping booth from the wall so he can pull chair out for Morticia*

Morticia, swooning: No 💕

Enid: Babe, I don’t think pushing Tyler off some cliff will kill him.

Wednesday: *scoffs* Not with that altitude.

Enid: Okay, babe, truth or dare?

Wednesday: Truth.

Enid: How are you planning to murder my mom?

Wednesday:

Wednesday: Dare.

Enid: Don’t murder my mom.

Wednesday: I loathe this game.
