@strypey gotta admit, my spare coins this week have all gone up north, but much love and support to friends of the Opera House. If we could afford to live in Waitati instead of the wops here, that woulda been our first choice place to live and raise a kid.

@strypey ever get into terror management theory (psychology)? Basically,it's that humans know we're gonna die and spend our lives doing culture and thought and meaning and consumption and anything else we can to distract ourselves and mitigate the fear. It explains the pancultural rituals of funerals, for example, or the patriotism seen in the USA after 9/11. A fun theory, imo.

@strypey this has stuck with me since I first moved to the country, one of my ex's in-laws was a grandchild of the dude who started Gloriavale. Their family story was basically that every time someone disagreed, and left, it became more insular and screwy. I've tried to remember this as everything is getting more polarised. Sometimes it's good to stick around just to be the one guy arguing their shit.

@strypey lmao, I've been wondering this week what "namaste" means. Hit upon some yoga for kids that, if not for the cultural appropriation is really well done. "Namaste" is referred to as "our secret yoga codeword", and changed depending on the story theme (namasaurus for the dinosaur one).

@strypey @kentparkstreet fucking hell, I'm genuinely surprised and disappointed to learn that. And I'm pretty cynical. Gotta say, the cost of prescription THC has come down heaps in the last couple years. If you're reading this kÅrero and thinking it's not worth looking into - if you're buying in Os already (or would be much better off if you could), this might work out cheaper and more reliable, speaking as someone on a benefit. The oils have been a life changer for me, physically+mentally.

@strypey bookmarking to read more in depth later, but thanks for sharing. I didn't know most of this, but had sorta formulated vague opinions i hadn't gotten round to questioning.

@strypey I was expecting you to say police, not politicians, but actually, this makes me want to figure out how to subvert the concept of "gang" to make it closer to meaningless
