Ask The Brain Trust

Had a question that I'm not seeing an answer for when I search, which is rare, but in any case I'd rather get it direct from good sources.

Māori readers, can you tell me if traditional Māori watercraft construction/sail is closed practice? I'm looking at craft like waka taua or waka ama, primarily, and I know at least that waka taua have some pretty strong links to spiritual practice. (Also non-Māori readership, if you know of someone who could speak with authority on this feel free to pass it along to them.)

I'm working on a plot for the Shivadh novels where Noah takes his gap year in Aotearoa, and I've created a sail school there, Auckland Waka Ama Sail, that would teach both European sail and Māori shipbuilding and sail; the idea being that Noah would teach on the European sail side and study on the Māori side, under Māori teachers. But a) I don't know if it would be super weird or culturally offensive to have a school that teaches both side-by-side, and b) I don't know if it's closed practice, something that wouldn't be taught to outsiders. It's not something I'd incorporate into an actual novel necessarily, like I'm not planning to do an entire book around Noah's experiences on his gap year (and if I did I'd be doing a LOT more research) but I want to make sure I don't fuck it up regardless.

If it's not appropriate to have that kind of setup, I have no problem removing that aspect of it; there's no reason Noah couldn't still teach European sail out of Auckland. Though if that's the case I would welcome suggestions on ways to incorporate Māori culture regardless -- it'd be a shame to send Noah to Aotearoa for a year and not feature the indigenous culture in any way I can, even if I'm not planning on a novel about it specifically.

I dreamed I was in neverland

Captain Hook needed a break because he was 100% done with pan's bullshit, so I took over as captain of the Jolly Roger.

Turns out with a suitably strong will and a vivid imagination, you don't need pixie dust to make a ship fly. Or phase it through solid barriers. It was a joy to sail in neverland, just for sailings sake, but I was looking for something.

we were looking for a magic item and some treasure, a pocket watch or something.

And I needed permission to sail into the tribal waters, because my destination could only be accessed through a straight they gaurded.

Tiger lilly and the Victorian depiction of native americans had been replaced in my dream by a Maori cheiftaness with one eye and a huge Waka taua along with a fleet of other war canoes.

She thought it was annoying that the jolly Roger was so cumbersome compared to her own vessels, but she allowed me to sail her waters under escort. We parted ways amicably at the edge of her territory.

Eventually I found the pirate tomb where the treasure was supposedly hidden. My crew were extremely superstitious and would not help open it. So I used my will to dig through the stone with my hands. It was a sensation akin to digging through cold, sandy mud, as I forced the stone to yield with my mind.

When the seal was removed, the pirate ossuary was revealed; the only grave in neverland.

Inside, there was an old tarnished skeleton watch. It was stopped. My crew told me that winding it and starting it once again was how a pirate died. The crew member who wound it would have untill the watch wound down again to live.

Hook stepped out of the shadows then, and asked for it. When I gave it to him, he tucked it into his vest pocket and thanked me for finding it for him. I do not know when he intended to use it, if at all. Perhaps he just wanted to have it nearby.

I'll probably never know. With a sad smile, Hook thanked me, and the dream ended.

our justice system is broken.

it has been for a long time. yet, this election, as always, our media and politicians have been feeding a moral panic around crime. this moral panic has been used to justify ‘tough on crime’ policies like increased policing, harsher prison sentences, and youth boot camps.

policies like these have never succeeded. they fail to reduce crime and social harm. they breach Te Tiriti o Waitangi and make marginalisation and inequality worse.

we're launching Care Not Cages, a campaign to oppose tough on crime policies and to transform our criminal justice system into one that centres (re)habilitation, restoration, transformation and prevention and honours Te Tiriti.

this campaign challenges the government to adopt all 12 recommendations of the Turuki Turuki! report, which you can read here.

register for the online launch on Zoom, Monday 10 July at 11AM NZST, here.

speakers include:

Emmy Rākete

Julia Whaipooti

Aphiphany Forward-Taua

Awatea Mita

we'll talk about the campaign, its goals, and what you can do to support it! there'll be time for questions as well. if you're interested in prison abolition or reform in aotearoa, we'd love to have you.

WHOA that's a lot!! tysm!! i often write WAY too much for my own good, so i'm gonna try my hand at some shorter drabbles here n try to fit these all in 1 (reasonably sized) post.

also, this ask is MONTHS old. i wrote these immediately after you sent the ask, but i never posted them for some reason? anyway, here they are now :(

3 - morning/wake up call

She's awoken by the sun in her eyes and the feeling of lips grazing her temple.

She squints, forever reluctant to rise from a comfortable slumber, but the presence of another--of Illaoi--convinces her that this day is worth greeting.

So, she opens her eyes. Rays of sunshine pour through the curtains and sprawl across her face, singeing her retinas. With a soft groan, she rolls over onto her back, throwing up an arm to shield her gaze from the light.

She feels the bed shift under Illaoi's substantial weight as she moves closer to her. When her eyes squint open once more, Illaoi's face is mere inches from hers. Her features are wonderfully relaxed, her green eyes glistening like emeralds in the warm light. She gazes at Lalir with a gentle smile.

She looks like a painting, a true work of art; if Lalir could envision a human incarnation of the goddess, she would be sculpted in Illaoi's image.

"Good morning, ma’a taua."

Precious gem. Lalir smiles.

"Mhmm..." She brings a hand up to caress Illaoi's cheek. She watches her smile widen as she leans into the touch. "Good morning, darling."

She isn't sure who closes the distance first, but Lalir smiles into the first press of full lips against her own. Lalir's slender fingers card through Illaoi's curls. She clutches the back of her head, pulling her deeper, closer, as close as they can possibly be.

. . .

38 - reunited/’haven’t seen you in a while’

After a hundred-or-so years of living here, Lalir has grown to despise Bilgewater’s harbors.

They always smell of fish, sweat, and rot. The rudest of harpooners and wannabe swashbucklers shove their way through the crowds and glare daggers into whomever they bump into. And of course, if you don’t blend in well, which Lalir never has, you are bound to get robbed.

But despite all of this, Lalir finds herself standing on the docks, wringing her hands and twitching her tail as she anxiously awaits a very particular ship.

It feels like hours before she finally catches a glimpse of it pulling into the harbor. It’s the same one she watched Illaoi leave in, and is, hopefully, the one she will be arriving back in.

She watches it take anchor. She watches as people begin to flood off the ship. She’s nearly swept away by the crowd alongside everyone else on this dock.

Still, she waits and she watches, searching for Illaoi’s face amongst a hundred other faces. She stands on the very tips of her clawed toes, peering over the sea of people, hoping that she’ll spot her as the crowd dwindles out, but she doesn’t.

A pang of doubt pierces Lalir’s chest. What if this is the wrong ship? Then she’d look like a fool. What if Illaoi never made it to her ship? That would be terrible. What if, what if, what if…

“Lalir?”

The distinctive thick Buhru accent and commanding tone of voice fills Lalir’s ears like sweet music. She looks up, tufted ears drooping as locks eyes with Illaoi.

She grins, baring teeth. “Illaoi!”

Lalir bounds across the way, leaping right into Illaoi’s waiting arms. Illaoi squeezes her tight, so tight that it's almost painful, but she doesn't mind at all. She can barely fit her arms around the larger woman's body when she hugs her back She nuzzles her face into the center of her chest, breathes in her scent--sea salt and fresh jungle fruit--and her heart blossoms as she's brought back home.

They remain trapped in an embrace for a long, long time before they finally part, standing back just far enough to look each other in the eyes.

"I was starting to worry about you," Lalir says.

Illaoi laughs, warm and full. "Worry? About me? You must be mistaking me for someone else, itiiti!"

Lalir can't help but laugh as well. "No! I'm not! You know me, I just worry."

Illaoi hums a little. She brings a large hand up to caress Lalir's reddened face. She cradles her chin between a thumb and forefinger, lifting it to meet her gaze. Lalir smiles bashfully. They're both smiling.

Lalir stands up on the tips of her talons and Illaoi leans down to make their lips meet. They share a long, passionate kiss, and Lalir feels like the world is melting down to only them and the sea. When they're forced to break away for air, Lalir thinks she'd rather suffocate within Illaoi than ever breathe again.

. . .

50 - goodnight

Illaoi isn't a very quiet person. She's quiet when she's thinking, quiet when she's praying, but her love is never quiet.

It takes Lalir a moment to realize just how quiet things have become between the two of them. The entire room is blanketed in comfortable silence, the only sounds being that of a crackling fireplace and Illaoi's gentle breathing.

But the silence becomes uncomfortable when Lalir realizes how unusual it is.

She looks down at Illaoi, who's in the same position she was nearly half an hour ago- leaning against her shoulder, eyes shut and lips slightly parted.

She's asleep. Is she asleep? It's strange, but Lalir is typically the first one to fall asleep, as well as the last one to get up in the morning. She seldom sees Illaoi this relaxed, this vulnerable.

"Illaoi?" She mutters softly, and the woman's eyes flutter open. She glances up at her.

"Hm?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you."

"I wasn't asleep," Illaoi grumbles, rubbing her eyes.

Lalir huffs. "You sure? You looked pretty asleep to me."

“I was just… resting my eyes.” Illaoi sits up, cautiously propping herself up against the pillows. Her eyes are dark and droopy, her curls an unkempt mess in front of her tired face.

Lalir takes a pause to admire her. She is always awake and alert, and getting the chance to behold her in any other state is quite rare. Her exhaustion is uncharacteristic and oddly beautiful.

“If you wanna sleep, you can.” Lalir places a reassuring hand on Illaoi’s bicep. Illaoi looks down at her, face softening when their eyes meet. She hums.

Wordlessly, Illaoi sinks back down into the bed, worming her way under the knitted blankets. She curls up to Lalir’s side, large, strong arms wrapping around her torso. She holds her tight and close, like a teddy bear, nuzzling her cheek against her shoulder.

Ah. Lalir’s face burns a bright shade of crimson as she stares down at Illaoi. How adorable.

Carefully, Lalir leans down and presses a kiss atop the crown of Illaoi’s head. She feels her squeeze her just a little bit tighter.

“Goodnight, honey.”

Milano. Parte l'Alleanza per l'aria e per il clima con le prime 21 imprese "Resilienti".

Milano. Parte l'Alleanza per l'aria e per il clima con le prime 21 imprese "Resilienti". Continua la collaborazione tra il Comune di Milano e il mondo dell'impresa per favorire e velocizzare il raggiungimento degli obiettivi di decarbonizzazione, qualità dell'aria e neutralità climatica previsti dal Piano Aria e Clima, attraverso la chiamata alla progettazione dell'Alleanza per l'Aria e il Clima. L'Alleanza per l'Aria e per il Clima è un ambiente istituzionale di confronto paritetico tra il Comune di Milano e un gruppo di imprese capofila, nel quale i soggetti selezionati possono concertare interventi e divulgare, valorizzare e condividere quelle iniziative che da tempo ormai sempre più imprese realizzano per adeguare il proprio profilo ai criteri ESG. Capgemini Italia, Carbotermo, Carrefour Italia, Cariplo Factory, Deloitte Italy, Edison, Havas Media, InVento Innovation Lab, Legacoop Lombardia, Liquigas, L'Oréal Italia, Maire, OpenDot, Re-Solution Hub, Sky Italia, SOS-LOGistica, SYNLAB Italia Srl, Taua, TEKNE SpA, True Energy Advisory, Up2You: sono le 21 'Imprese consapevoli e resilienti' che entreranno a far parte del nucleo designato a promuovere una maggiore consapevolezza verso i temi della transizione ambientale nel settore aziendale e a portare avanti le attività e i progetti per adeguare il profili di business ai requisiti ecologici che la transizione richiede. Il Nucleo parteciperà dunque nei prossimi mesi alla fase di "co-design" dell'Alleanza per l'Aria e per il Clima. L'Alleanza permetterà di mettere a sistema quanto le aziende cittadine stanno già facendo in tema di sostenibilità con impatto su Milano e di stimolare ulteriori possibili collaborazioni. Le linee-guida sviluppate durante la fase di co-design verranno successivamente messe in pubblica consultazione affinché tutta la business community cittadina possa prenderne visione e contribuire alla finalizzazione per poi poter aderire all'Alleanza. La creazione dell'Alleanza per l'Aria e il Clima si affianca alle attività previste dal Climate City Contract, al fine di generare un percorso sempre più condiviso in cui integrare in modo efficace il contributo di tutte le componenti cittadine.
