"The end result is a breath of fresh air. It’s easy to see roleplaying as a niche activity — something defined in large part by its size (or lack thereof). But including it in an archive alongside performing arts, festivals, and traditional food — not to mention puppetry, bed time stories, and even playing in the snow — reveals how much there is no silo, but instead a spectrum of deeply human activity.

"Somehow, harassment and politics have become synonymous: something we’re told we must accept. Our strange local government system, with its feeble checks and balances, discourages people from rocking the boat. And you can’t blame them.
Rocking the boat doesn’t fix a system problem. We need to turn the tide."

'Now, this is all great news. But it all depends on funding, on donations and on goodwill. All this is running out. The work we (Genomics Aotearoa) did with kākāpō is now not possible, because the government has said that our funding should go to science that makes money. Saving remarkable species is off the table.'
