#SecretSantaAoNZ is this thing on?

Donkey is my nickname (after the annoying talking animal in #Shrek). Kāihe is #TeReo for donkey, or ass.

Things not listed in my bio/pinned posts, I’m a fan of:
#Firefly
#DoctorWho
#Pixar Movies (the earlier ones, really)
#Capybara (my spirit animal)
#StarTrek (#StarWars is fun, but - if I had to choose just one - it’d be Trek. All of them except Enterprise)
#Jacinda’s politics of empathy
