The collective is often referenced mostly as a Pacific collective, but people forget that also includes Māori. Here's some work from our Takatāpui artists Māhia Tekore and Jaimie Waititi.

Love the kākāpō!
Ok I need your help e te whānau! If you have some funds to help our 9yo raise funds for their school swings! He is excited they could get some. Secondly he wants to beat the other kids on the leaderboard. So if you could help koha to the cause that would be great: myprofilepage.co.nz/campaign/69b...
That is amazing! What a star ⭐️
Haha, was going to make a pacing joke about the video! I think from memory that it’s all just question and answer so you can just listen if that helps? (TV is my rest time so I would find no TV really tough). Feel free to DM me if you ever feel like reaching out 🌻🌷
I am generally not a big video watcher but it resonated with me. It explained the crashes in a way that made sense to me by someone with both expertise and experience. And gave me some small but practical things to try. It has helped with some of the daily stuff in a small way.
That’s fair!
That’s really challenging! Mine isn’t as bad. I will hunt out the link and share it.
Boycott Grammarly, please.
Have you seen the micro pacing video? I found it quite useful/interesting and while I don’t do what they’d call micro pacing, I have found I do an in between (when I remember) that’s helpful. But I also have POTS that I am managing.
Listening to Michael Baker a couple of days ago made me check my status and get a booster yesterday. Covid kills a 1000 people annually in AoNZ. The flu usually around 500. Look after your health, look after those around you ⭐️
Fantastic that every major site has coverage of the Covid-19 Royal Commission findings yet do not mention the very real, very current wave of Covid and ponder out loud that we all might want to get boosted against an ongoing, live threat that we are currently inadequately responding to, how good.
This. And acute effects are in some ways the least of our worries, it's the invisible damage each infection is doing we need to worry about.
background is a sunset imagine waking up well rested. wouldn't that be some mythical shit. @girlsthinkimfunny
The crashes are unpleasant but sounds like yours are worse! It’s all about the pacing, which I am sure I get wrong most of the time! such a delicate balance isn’t it? Throw in things like appointments and I usually don’t achieve much else in a day.
That’s really rough 😞
Prof. Helen Petousis-Harris, Auckland Univ.: There's not enough awareness of the impact of Covid-19 on overall health.
"What many people don't realise is that getting Covid repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage"

New Zealand tackled Covid by going in early and hard, shutting the virus out until vaccines arrived and ending up with one of the lowest death rates anywhere #NZPol
Good to hear you’ve headed out of it now. PEM is brutal!
All the best! It sure is tiring to have a kid in hospital 🌻🌷
What's up with the GPs in Australia? They keep promoting GET as if the PACE trial were actually not a fraudulent, discredited piece of crap! virology.ws/2026/03/09/t...

Below the headline is a portrait of leading vaccinologist and associate professor Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, shown facing the camera against a dark background. The article discusses how repeated COVID-19 infections may cause cumulative harm rather than building lasting immunity.

No AI, I don’t want you to summarize everything. I want to read things and think about them with my own brain.
Spots are still available for people with Long Covid/MECFS in Ōtepoti Dunedin to participate in free facilitated creative writing workshops. I'm one of the facilitators. There's no commitment—if you think you might be interested, get in touch.
It’s a good time to chuck on a respirator mask, esp in health care settings, public transport & busy places (indoors and out). @covidactionnz.bsky.social have set up a couple of mask blocs around the country if you’re close to one and need some masks.
Bring back the half price public transport fares again to combat high petrol prices!!!!!! #nzpol
