It's the 29th of February! Which means.....

🎉🎂 🍰 🎊

Happy 42nd birthday to Frederick from The Pirates of Penzance! Born in 1852, he would chronologically be 172 years old, but if you go by birthdays he's a lovely 42

Today is Waitangi Day, and Māori rights are increasingly under attack

For those of you who don't know, the right-wing government of Aotearoa (New Zealand) is pushing to “reinterpret” Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi), the foundational document of the country which provides for land rights and other important rights of Māori people. This is on top of repealing important social policies designed to improve outcomes for Māori and Pasifika people, and planning to remove te reo Māori language from official government contexts

On this Waitangi Day I want to extend my support and solidarity to all Māori here on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land, across the ditch in Aotearoa, and around the world

As we say here, always was, always will be. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Music tag game, tagged by @yanderemika

rules: shuffle your 'on repeat' playlist & post the first ten tracks, then tag ten people 🎶

I just use VLC so I don't have an "on repeat" playlist, so I'll just shuffle ALL my music and give the first 10 that I've listened to recently or a lot over the past while

Niðurlút (feat. GDRN) by Hatari

CURLED IN by Jaguar Jonze

Rabbit Hole by Jaguar Jonze

Colours by Voyager

The Best Intentions by Voyager

Two Weeks by The East Pointera

Biðrüð Mistaka by Hatari

D'equi a Somió (live) by Felpeyu

Pound a Week Rise by Austral

Thylacine by Austral

So that's.. Icelandic techno-industrial (Harari), Aussie indie rock (Jaguar Jonze) and prog (Voyager), and Celtic traditional (The East Pointers—from Canada, Felpeyu—from Asturias in Spain, Austral—Australian). Which is a pretty good overview of what I have on high rotation. I've also been listening to some Angelique Kidjo, Inn Echo, Käärijä, and Noriko Tadano.

I'm gonna tag...... @vienna-salvatori @tiedpawslikeheraklescloak @thejadefwa @carrotsofthepirabbean @greenbeanssssss @kaoinim @boopbeep @partybarty @bee-of-swords @satanicspeaks (plus anyone else who wants to, no pressure of course)

Went to the Aus v Windies T20 tonight and it was a blast! Both teams played very well, and I have nothing but praise for Windies captain Hayley Matthews. When she got out (79 off 40, skied to cover, c. Litchfield, b. Brown), instead of going back to the change room, she joined the rest of her team under the gazebo by the pitch. She won player of the match, which I think was well-deserved. The Aussie bowlers were stunning as always, but the fielding did have a couple of fumbles (still a far cry from the poor fielding of 5 years ago) and there were a couple of silly run-outs

Took my new binoculars on their maiden voyage. I managed to see one of the bowled dismissals through them, which was very awesome

Pez still with her trusty, faded, faded helmet... it'll be a sad day if she has to retire that one

Experimented with taking some photos through the binoculars, cause my phone camera hasn't got the zoom you need for sports. Some of them turned it alright!

Even in their defeat, some of the Windies players still came to give autographs. Unfortunately I'm not sure whose is whose... And of course the Aussie players too, even some of the ones not playing tonight (spot Jess Jonassen's signature). There was one kid who was soooo pleased to meet Phoebe Litchfield, cause her name was Phoebe too

Tractor out on track with cars still out, in this weather, at this track the very track where Jules Bianchi died because of that very thing. What the fuck. The FIA is a fucking joke. Unbelievable. Disgusting.

#formula 1 #Jules Bianchi #no wonder pierre was so pissed #also video feed not showing it 🤔#and showing pierre angry and associating it with the clips of his car with the advertising hoarding on his car #swooflia posts #suzuka gp
