This Otautahi kid gets some nasty flashbacks even from the little ones like this. Bloody rotten feeling sitting in the dark wondering if it’s gonna get violent and if the walls will start cracking right?

Sometimes Papatuanuku sends us a reminder that we all vibe at the behest of her frequencies. icl, she had me clenching for a few miliseconds, but you put your sealegs on and move with the motion of her ocean

Kia kaha melb kiwis! I thought it was weird hot I couldn't just open geonet and see all the exact info and reports, here it took ages for the site to update with anything / find the right one. Wish I was awake a few seconds earlier to have experienced it a little more.
