It is significant and important that this guidance has been prepared by Women in Sport Aotearoa, given that so much of the anti transgender participation rhetoric is led by those claiming to speak for women in sport. Check out their toolkit here: www.wispainsighthub.org/insight/tran...

Kind of funny to me that we have no tv or ipads at our house and my big tama wants a minecraft cake. Big 8 years old tomorrow
Today i told my boys to look at the moon and my eldest knew what phase the moon was in by looking at it. Ngā mihi Prof Mātāmua 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Digging up my homemade compost and I am a very happy girl 😍😍🥰
what my boyfriend does when he comes to my house 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ACT couldn't have dismantled Kiwi workers' rights without the support of NZ First. ACT couldn't have sold us out to overseas mega-corporations without the support of NZ First. ACT couldn't have set back Kiwi women a decade without the support of NZ First. A vote for NZ First is a vote for ACT #nzpol
I have a meeting from 9-5 tomorrow. We have no tv or ipads in our house. Send prayers for my two kids 🤣🤣 #schoolholidays
Super grateful to have kids who will endulge their māmā by biking/scootering with me for 6km after kura so i can get my run in 😆😍
I am so loving going to the gym! I am getting so strong and faster at running too. Yesterday I got up to 170kg on the leg press! I am aiming for 200kg 😆💪🏼
Im glad after some gentle encouragement I didnt wait until i was 35. I am 33 now. I have 2 kids and a PhD and I am tired 😆😆😮💨
Study (N=8,097) finds women more likely to finish a PhD before 30 & have children after 35. Men tended to become parents during doctoral studies & often had 3+ children by 40. Early-career mothers had lower citation rates; fathers had no such penalties. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...
Part of being a Māori scholar I believe is ensuring your research does not harm Māori. Just because you dont uunderstand how racism operates doesnt mean it doesnt exist 😒😒😒
I have just left a noho marae and am in a cafe. im so tired and so used to only speaking te reo that i can hear people speaking english and it sounds like te reo 😅😵💫

Had a bit of a hard few days with Kaea. He woke up with a complete inability to use his back legs and I was a mess. Hes doing much better after getting on some new medication.
I did like a 10 minute impromptu kōrero all in te reo the other day and i think it felt really cool that i can just stand up and speak ❤️🤍🖤
Kind of shocked that I have gone all my life not realising my hair was this curly 🙄🙃
TFW your son asked you too look after his spider after hes played with it for 2 hrs but you are a tired māmā 😆😆🫠🫠😵💫😵💫
I got asked to go speak at my high schools prize giving and honestly i cant think of anything worse
I found this neat tool that lets you generate text and images just from your ideas. It's really good!
The way my 7 year old deepens his voice when hes doing mihi and pepeha is so cute 😍😍😍
My bf met my kids yesterday and bless it went so well 😍😍😍
It is always interesting to watch Māori men slide into professorships when Māori women were already there but not “worthy”
If I was a journalist I would have also mentioned how funding for wilding pine control was cut by two thirds by the same government in 2023/24. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Government doubles funding for wilding pine control efforts under a Budget 2026 boost
The announcement would lift annual spending on the control efforts to around $36 million a year on average.
