A poster with an illustration of a transgender person hitting Destiny Church's logo with a hammer. Text reads: Defying Destiny: Day of Queer Power. Doctor Emmy Rākete, Chloe Swarbrick, Rev. Mua Strickson-Pua. Sunday 23rd Feb, 2pm, Albert Park Rotunda. These queers bash back.

Last weekend, Destiny Church escalated its attacks against the queer community. Destiny wants to drive queer New Zealanders back into the closet.

PAPA won't let this happen. We stood for queer liberation as No Pride in Prisons and we stand for it now.

I’ve just had two incredible days in Aotearoa talking about the history of capitalism with wonderful scholars and activists. Excited to also pick up this book👇

This was just a small sample of what I know to be a much larger group of brilliant researchers interested in histories of Aotearoa capitalism, some of whom couldn’t make it, others who may not have seen the original call for papers at all. Hopefully, there’ll be more events like these in the future!

Capitalism and Social Reproduction in the colonisation of Aotearoa This week I FIFO'd to Auckland. It was amazing.

@hannahforsyth.bsky.social has written a great piece on her Substack about the workshop: hannahforsyth.substack.com/p/capitalism...

The intention was to bring together a group of researchers interested in helping to grow a sub-field of NZ history that historicises and problematises capitalism. Equivalent fields have emerged in the US, the UK, and Australia, but there’s huge potential for something similar here in Aotearoa.

Last week I put on this ‘Histories of Aotearoa NZ Capitalism’ workshop at the University of Auckland and got to hang out with these amazing people for two whole days! Brilliant papers all-round, including keynotes from Jim McAloon and @hannahforsyth.bsky.social 🔥
