I'm changing channels - come join me


 

LIFE ADMIN UPDATE

I'm ending my long relationship with F@ceb00k. The amount of censorship is not democratic, nor is it within our rights to freedom of speech. We have been led down a rabbit hole of curated information for too long, both here and on Y0u Tube. I'm brave enough to walk away from a relationship that has turned toxic. This is not my first rodeo.


And while most Govts globally have been enabling that (even tax-free), we have had facial recognition technology pushed upon us through 'harmless' amendments to our 'trusted' social media channels.
My latest grievance is my inability to remove photos from here. My privacy, your privacy, has been lost. And so, I have humbly realised, that all the people who years ago were suspicious of this platform, were in fact right. We have lost our privacy. 

I HAD MY PHOTOS USED WITHOUT MY PERMISSION

The reason I changed my profile and cover photos to words is that this is publicly available information. I should know. Once the NZ Herald took my FB profile photo and put it on pg 3 of their newspaper. Without my permission. They ran a story about my washed out wedding a few years ago and just took my profile photo (which also had my boys in it) and printed it. They also took my then cover photo, which was when my boyfriend was proposing to me. We were on the beach with some of by best friends standing nearby holding up signs with each of our children on the signs. They put that on the NZ Herald online article. How DARE they? (Legally they can because when we sign up to FB, we agree that our profile and cover pics are public property - did you know that?) 

I have had a disquiet about it since then... but I didn't want to lose touch with my people on here. And so I stayed bound. 

 

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Perhaps, all along, M@rk Z and his cronies were laughing at us all as we sold our identities and stories, our connections, our habits and our lives to 'F@ceb00k'. They now have a global book of our faces. That's right. The name means more to them than it does to us. If you don't believe me, please watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix (if it hasn't been censored yet).


So, apologies to my nearest and dearest who have their photos on my profile. I have been complicit in the madness. I'll try my best to erase what I can. 


If you also feel aggrieved by this platform (and Inst@gr@m will go for me too as it's all the same beasty)... The most powerful thing we can collectively do is say NO MORE. Drop the rope. Walk away. Stop fighting. Just walk out.

 

MY NEW CHANNEL OF CHOICE - UPDATED

UPDATE: I'm part of a team who has created a beautiful news space online. It's not for trollers, it's not for those who wish to segregate, it's not for anyone who thinks that supporting apartheid in NZ or any country is ok. If that sounds like you please reach out and I'll invite you in.

There is another platform I have chosen to be on. Especially while we are all so isolated from each other. I believe that one day we will be free again to hug, kiss, smile and laugh mask-free and in person as much as we want. The new platform I am moving to is called MeWe. It has full privacy, no ads, no algorithms, and is even has a Bill of Rights which is built on TRUST, RESPECT & INTEGRITY. I need me a whole lot more of that in my life.


Peace-out. Love you all. Hope to see a bunch of you on one of the new platforms. Go on, learn some new technology today. You know you're getting sick of FB's incessant ads, ridiculous censorship and lack of visibility over what you see.

Square peg - round hole

Thanks in advance for having a read I realise I am risking plenty of friends by saying what I am about to say… but it has been burning inside me and so I had to get it out. It is what in my good conscience I feel I must say.  I respect your point of view and have listened to it and had it talked at me by plenty. Your body, your choice. I have a story to tell too, and if it helps even one person, it was worth me writing it.  I’ve seen a lot of posts celebrating going out and getting v*ccin*ted, being part of the team of 5 million, taking your kids. Like it’s a party and everyone is invited, and no one wants to get FOMO. I’ve even seen those Facebook reposts that kick off with “I’m getting v*ccin*ted, and no, I don’t know what’s in it – neither this v*ccin*, the ones I had as a child, nor in the big Mac or in hot dogs…. Etc”.  It’s cool that you feel like you’re doing your part. But I guess, since everyone is being vocal about it, it means I can have a voice too. But my voi...

Elephant in the room

  Which numbers really count? I'm a gonna crunch a few numbers. Bare with me. Our Govt 'C0v1d' data says that today there are blah blah (over 1000) positive cases. Let's cut to the important... how many are in ICU? 13.  13 ICU cases in NZ. (They can't even lie or magic up a more impressive number!!) Which led me to look into how many hospitals there are in NZ. According to MOH website there is 86.  86 hospitals in NZ, and 13 people in ICU with 'c0vid'. So, if we balanced it out, that's less than 1/4 of a person per hospital. Are we in a Pandemic?  No. Where we ever? No. The NZ C0v1d website slides over these kinds of facts and instead fills up on all sorts of BIG numbers (positive cases, number of RAT tests in NZ blah blah). Most people are so far into fear I am sure their eyes glaze over and no critical thinking happens, no self-investigative research. Shame on you, Ministry of Education The reason I went to check this out is, because on the Ministry of...

H.O.T. - Hikoi Of Truth - one wahine's short journey

OCTOBER 26th-27th 2021 Last night a Hikoi Of Truth (HOT) traveled from Rotorua (and many from much farther) – destination Waitangi. Five vehicles that I know of represented my part of the Waikato region. I am sure there were many others. We met up with the Hikoi at Huntly and proceeded in powerful single file north. At the Mercer ‘border’ many (unsure if all) were diverted down a slip road by way of traffic trucks totally blocking the road north (and more had to stop on the motorway). In hindsight perhaps a critical error was made by the lead vehicles when they allowed the diversion… perhaps if they just parked up on SH1, today we’d be telling a different story about our southern travellers. Reports said kaumātua went through and were stopped further north at Bombay (at the time of writing all reports are unverified, just what we were told among the Mercer group we were with). Also other kaumātua were apparently given safe passage earlier in the day. Hurrah! Two of our carloads decided...
