Blatant Political Brain Bashing
It’s funny, in Aotearoa, there is a whole lot of people who don’t get how MMP works. It seems to be too complicated to work out. But here, I can’t even work it all out and I’m ’smart’. And to make things more fun, voting is compulsory! What kind of brilliant [...]
Operation LandGrab
Created by some of my favourite people. Deadly work crew!
A Cross Stitch for my friends
I actually finished this a little while ago but it’s taken me ages to get my a into g. I’m still not happy with the photos but I really want to get this out there now all the crew are out of lock up. Hopefully someone near them will bring it to their [...]
How bout if we ask nicely?
We won’t ask again.
props.
Braybrook Fence
About a week ago we got out on a hot Sunday night to engage in a bit more fence art. I decided to try a different technique and did a bit of weaving, I suppose you would call it. It was a bit quicker - so this only took two and a half [...]
Deep in the forest: Ross Meurant
An article was published today in the NZ Sunday Star Times. It’s an opinion piece by former NZ Police and Member of Parliament, Ross Meurant.
And it’s brilliant. But before we get to it, I want to share a wee story.
I remember when I got arrested as an activist, explaining the ridiculousness of arresting [...]
Stand in solidarity! Global Day Of Action - Saturday 27th Oct, 12 noon
Don’t forget to make yourself heard on Saturday. If there’s nothing on in your area, organise something!
I’m baking, stitching and painting!
Everywhere: Any letters emailed to lettersforprisoners[at]riseup[dot]net will printed out and distributed to arrestees. Obviously don’t write anything that could negatively impact on you or anyone else! If you can help with processing these letters, [...]
Buy Handmade
OK so if you really really have to buy something for your friends and family for christmas, why not make it something handmade? That way they’ll love it more. Your community will love you more. The planet will love you more. And of course your soul will love you more.
There’s bazillions [...]
Cross Stitching Fences
Ever since I started cross stitching I always look at the world searching for square grids. Anything with a square grid can be a cross stitch canvas if you try hard enough.
So of course fences are the obvious ones. Fences have long been canvases, anything from your standard teenage boy territorial tagging through [...]
Free All Political Prisoners
Goodness there’s so much happening in support of those arrested last Monday, it’s just awesome to see. Go over to Aotearoa Indymedia and see all the reports from recent demos. Quite a lot of video too which is nice (cause I can see my friends and give them virtual cuddles!). And there’s [...]
Doing it for the kids
For those that want to be kept up to date with what’s going on with the Uruwera 17/18 (depending on which report you read) I suggest you keep an eye on Indymedia. The editors at AIMC are doing a fabulous job of keeping everything update, especially with details of solidarity actions.
Just a couple of [...]
Solidarity to Aotearoa
Normally, I’d be giving Australians a hard time for living in a police state, but after hearing the news this morning, it definitely sounds like New Zealand should be getting that criticism.
In a nationally coordinated raid, Police have searched residences across the country, made at least 16 arrests and many more have been taking in [...]
Free Burma
Today is Blog for Burma Day. Which is quite convenient really cause I’ve got some ‘art’ to share with you all. I know I’m supposed to refrain from writing and just do the Free Burma thing. But I’ve got too much to write about today, sorry.
As previously mentioned there’s an ace stencil [...]
Free Burma from Everyone
I really don’t have time to rant about Burma at the moment even though it is an issue really close to my heart. Read this instead:

Solid Territory
A great friend of mine once said that he’ll listen to any music as long as it’s conscious. And I don’t reckon there’s any conscious music more real and true to spirit than the music of indigenous and grassroots resistance. All over the world there is music that unites the people and this [...]
Up Yours Myspace
I finally did it! After months of begrudgingly logging in to Myspace to accept or deny friend requests from people I didn’t know. And nine times out of ten getting some stupid technical error which prevented me from doing so.
I have deleted my Myspace account.
Why did this take so long? you may ask. Well, it [...]
Don’t Let Me D(r)own!
OMG the world is full of synchronisity sometimes. So there’s this amazing woman who makes fantastic recylced clothing and things like this super hot top.
Which I might even buy one day when I get my superhot pre-baby body back…
Anyhoo, it turns out I’m not the only polar bear climate defending needle artist out there. [...]
Fox TV: Fighting the War on Smarts
I’m sure you all saw Sally Field and her super fab acceptance speech at the Emmys yesterday.
Well not if you watched it on Fox. Check this out for an amazingly shithouse piece of editing. And when I saw shit house I am referring to both the content and the style.
“If mothers ruled the [...]
Not Part of Your Revolution
This one goes out to the anti-APEC after party. Hope your revolution was fun…
And this one goes out to Rosa, coz she’ll get it.
