We're very sad to say that our publicist Todd Atticus is leaving us soon (for a dream job in the UK, so trying not to be TOO sad). We're now looking for a new publicist to join our team. Here's the ad: seek.co.nz/job/77793482

“I've been successful in broadcasting because I am fair, and while people who are non-Māori have been wary of me, and some women have said that I'm scary and I'm hard to talk to, I have been acceptable to mainstream broadcasting because I look like I do.”

We have things in the @Te_Papa
collection that no longer exist. The poor #NewZealand #greyling has not been seen since the 1920s and was declared extinct in 2018. These specimens are quite literally irreplaceable.

Emma Donoghue's reading life possibly explains why I love her writing so much - so much overlap theguardian.com/books/articl…
So excited to be on the count-down to the launch of Claire's book. Claire's given so much to readers and writers in Aotearoa; I feel like this is an opportunity for us all to support her back 💕

“Ritual and celebration are absolutely a form of resistance. Matariki, for example, is a very loud statement saying that we don't need to follow someone else's idea of ceremony or celebration.” — Dr Rangi Mātāmua
