It’s 130 years since the Aotearoa New Zealand granted women the right to vote in parliamentary elections, after the Electoral Act (NZ) was signed into law on 19 September 1893.
Here’s a blog post I wrote about Minnie Alloo of Dunedin and her family, some of the women who gained the right to vote that day!
Minnie and her sisters were of mixed Chinese-Scottish ancestry, all born in the Australasian colonies.
I'm disturbed by the rhetoric of those pushing mass surveillance to 'solve' child abuse. To wit, "if you disagree w/us you are ignoring victims"
Sadly, many many people experience abuse as children. Very few announce it publicly. As a rule, you do not know who you're talking to.
It’s insane. BRICS is a term coined by someone at Goldman Sachs to describe the emerging market economies available for further speculation, which is now appropriated to spell out a geopolitical strategy. It isn’t even well coined! I’d rather choose HYDRA, memorable, catchy, with some historical depth
China urges Brics to become geopolitical rival to G7 https://on.ft.com/3KJzZ55
Can’t help but remember the walking tours with @[email protected] during Christmas break. It was a memorable moment when we found this plaque in front of our eyes.
I didn’t know about MLK’s 1964 trip to East Berlin until I stumbled upon this plaque at Sophienkirche. He was such an insightful and inspiring person.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Twitter rejects my report for a second time👇and let’s stand the clearly misleading/deceptive account pretending to be me. Just creating a record here which I’ll be happy to use if the fake account ever does anything to materially harm my interests. I’ve always wanted a yacht…

As @[email protected] put it today, it might be time to start talking about the WTO like the League of Nations
