Tonight’s project complete. Still practicing my kōkōpuʻupuʻu. Still refining. This kōkō is set to be a makana. 🫰🏽🥰 now to rest my fingers. 😂

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Sometimes on a Monday you just need to do some kōkō puʻupuʻu. She’s not perfect, but not bad for an afternoon/evening. 🥰

It would be a cool dissertation as we know that wā kahiko our kūpuna were quite free about sex and attitudes around sex. Looking at how much kaona is in our mele and how much mele maʻi we have!

FYC Best Animated Short | The Queen's Flowers A magical take on a true story, THE QUEENʻS FLOWERS is an animated short adventure for kids that follows Emma, a Native Hawaiian girl in 1915 Honolulu, as she makes…

A beautifully done short film that shows a more accurate history of Hawaiʻi in a way that many, including our keiki, can understand. I may have gotten misty eyed at the end. 😭 The Queen’s Flowers. E ola ka lāhui ʻo Hawaiʻi. #hawaii #pasifika #ehuiananamoku vimeo.com/894719720

Omg. My body cannot be broken like that! I need gentle massages! That said, if I’m getting a massage and they’re laying into it, I’m also the one to hold my breath and not complain AT ALL. #GrinAndBare I’m sure there’s something I need to unpack in therapy there. 😅

Anyone know how to make a Pasifika feed on here? Or specifically a QTPI ones for all my Queer and Trans Pacific Islanders. Where’s everyone at??

We don't have to "hear out the other side" if the other side doesn't want us alive. Do not engage. Block.
