I learned reo Māori at the Wānanga about 15 years ago and it was a great experience. The resources were great and they use a lot of different teaching methods. I imagine their resources have only gotten better over time. Plus Olly Ohlson was a guest teacher!

I’m watching a drunk (probably) girl in a fight with her bf (probably) attempting to get his attention by doing dumber and dumber things. He watches her go behind the metal temporary fence, take off her shoes and get in the water. Then she comes out, climbs around the actual security fence and sits there. He gets tired of watching and goes over to drink his beer and look at his phone (if you’re reading this, hi guy). She looks around, realises he’s not watching, and starts swimming away.

Now she’s completely out of sight and he’s just sitting there, phone in hand, staring into space like he’s given up on life. And he’s finished his beer. There’s nothing left.

Edit: ohhhh she’s skinny dipping and one of the other dudebros jumped in with his bermuda shorts on. I need popcorn.

Ayyyy, I’m never here at the right time for one of these because I’m in Europe. Kia ora all! It’s 34° right now at 9.20PM and we’re all melting. I could do with a little bit of winter to balance it out. How is lambing season kicking off?

Still actually laugh out loud, not just breathe out through my nose, every time I remember this exists.

Principal was fired by the board, and then immediately sued the school for wrongful dismissal. It was a landmark case and ended up on national news. The principal won and the school went broke. It was the best school in town until then: all the good teachers quit and went elsewhere taking many students with them because parents didn’t want their kids in a broke school with only the crappy teachers left.
