Guy Fawkes Day be damned. Today is Parihaka Day: Parihaka, 5 November 1881:
more than 1,500 volunteers and members of the Constabulary Field Force invaded Parihaka …many houses were destroyed, and most of the residents forcibly evacuated.

I love simplicity and silence. On this blog I share bits and pieces from my daily life. In late 2025 I moved from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Since July 2024 I've been doing resistance training to help me maintain my independence as I age. Almost 71, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all beings have the right to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that humans are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants. I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018. Follow me on Micro.Blog at https://micro.blog/miraz .
