I propose in Aotearoa we stop using phrase "the Victorian era" and instead say "the Te Wherowhero era". This goes for perhaps a century until the Te Atairangikaahu era.

@jonoabroad @so all those "georgian villas" in NZ that are really "musket war villas".

@Br3nda @so
I mean, the joke is on them I have no idea what a georgian villa is, unless it is a villa dad used to own 😬

But putting things in terms of "world" events or timelines that are really "anglo timelines" is fucking shit house.

see "dark ages"
