Seeing Pasifika people's projects get taken further and further along to wider audiences (or the right audience(s) it was meant for) makes me tear up inside (in a good way) 🥺☺️
When ppl are like "I just want a stress free beautiful life 😇" then in the next sentence describe that its their dream to one day open a small cafe or coffee shop I am FLABBERGASTED.

F&B is the farthest thing from stress free and beautiful 😂

“No, I’m just saying that, just, IN GENERAL, there used to be a lot less of these folks with weird stuff going on with them, you know what I mean? Like where *I* grew up in rural Alabama, we didn’t *HAVE* all this stuff like autism and ADHD and whatever. We should just go back to that, y’know?”

I don’t want to be that guy but I am boycotting Israel at the moment and mindfully choose and boycott products based on this stance. #SecretSantaAoNZ
Today's #SecretSantaAoNZ question is a pretty important one.
Make sure you add the hashtag to your replies so it's easily searchable for your Santa. We wouldn't want them to miss it.

I'd love any recent positive human experiences people had lately bc I can feel myself slipping and I need like some hope, idk. Either that or you buy me a house. At least 2 bathrooms. Preferably in Aiea/Halawa. I think that would cure a lot of my problems, too.

Chile I'm not buying skincare for a child outside of what the pediatrician recommends 😭. "It’s South Korean Skincare." I don't care. Babies have sensitive skin 😭. "It just has aloe Vera in it." If it's a consumer product it has more than aloe Vera in it.

In Happyend, surveillance is an oppressive tool of control. It watches constantly and shapes how people act, pushing them to fit the expectations of those in power. Over time, it fosters fear, conformity, and a quiet loss of freedom.

“Man, what a week”, I said Sunday night at 12:05 AM

“Man, what a month” I said on the first day of the month when rent was due

“Man, what a decade”, I said on the first day of the year

“Man, what an existence”, I said right out if the womb.

Nobody wants to “eat like a pilgrim” (aka Separatists) as my 1st grade teacher’s assignment suggests. I’ve been sending a lot of emails to their school as usual every November since my 2 Native American, Kānaka, Okinawan, Chinese kids started TK (2019 & 2023). 🥱✊🏼🔄 #Nativeamericanheritagemonth
