The current streaming landscape is giving choice paralysis and entertainment sedation. Why do any of us need this? What is its ultimate purpose? Other than cognitive disassociation... Like for real.

This elder - with respect - is such a rich representation of why mediocre middle New Zealand men with poor communication skills and delusional with White Privilege, expose our desperate, DESPERATE need for intelligent, competent Māori / BIPOC leadership more than ever 😩

Making the underpaid and under-resourced teachers and support staff the bad guys here is a hell of a play. #nzpol

Today and every day, happy Indigenous Peoples Day

Colorful illustration of a nonbinary Indigenous person in front of the US capitol building. They have a shaved hear, black jeans, and a leather jacket and boots in shades of yellow. A red handprint is painted over their mouth as they crouch in front of a bow of burning sage. The smoke from the sage wafts over the outlines of the capitol building that are drawn in white over a purple and pink background.

Got to watch this beautiful film on Māori TV last night. I'd encourage everyone in our network to go check it out. It has the best sound design I've heard from a short this year. Next to Tanu Gago's Picking Crew. Congratulations 🎉👏🏽🎉 to Allie Howell and team.

Detox or nah but I just deleted all social apps except Bluesky and Letterboxd from my mobile. This should be an interesting exercise in being present. lol

Today for #100DaysOfDrawingBoys I did a self-portrait. It's so weird to draw yourself. Fighting the impulse to nip and tuck all the parts you feel insecure about. I'm glad these drawings aren't super complicated, cause I can live with these basic and simple shapes. lol 😆

Dead!! 🤣 There are definitely moments of cringe. But that's all round. Like the Māori's paying native Hawaiians and their accents doing crazy things. If anything he's more cringe playing Aquaman, a character where the original guy was blond, blue eyes and peak arian sea water nation lol

I am more than my brain patterns no matter how determined they are to protect me from failure. Lean in bro.

A big week this week. I'm committed to asking for what I want and what I know I deserve. I'm prepared to face rejection as a learning experience in resilience. I'm in too deep to think anything is fixed and absolute. Certainty has never been a guarantee so I may as well shoot my fucking shit.
