Ruatoria, 1964.
Scene outside a billiards hall in Ruatoria. An elderly Maori man sits on a bench against the wall of the billards hall, rolling a cigarette. Five Maori children, three boys and two girls, sit on either side of him, watching him make the cigarette. Two of the children drink soft drinks and one eats an ice cream.

The image captures a moment outside what appears to be a billiards hall, as indicated by the sign "BILLIARDS SNOOKER" on the wall behind the group. A diverse family of six individuals is seated against this backdrop: an elderly man in a suit and hat holding a cigarette case seems engrossed in reading something inside it while one child sits beside him attentively observing his actions, with another small boy standing to his left examining or interacting with what's on the ground next to their bench. The family includes two younger girls sitting at opposite ends of the bench; they look engaged but detached from the older man’s activity.
The surrounding environment is characterized by a mix of casual and worn elements: a plastic bag, possibly containing personal belongings or waste, lies discarded near one child's feet on the ground, while an old pair of sunglasses rests unattended close to their feet. The overall setting evokes a sense of everyday life with hints at economic simplicity—some family members are seen wearing shoes, others barefoot.
The image is in black and white, which contributes to its vintage feel, suggesting it could be from the early or mid-20th century based on clothing styles and haircuts. The monochrome palette emphasizes textures and contrasts within the scene more than color might have done so otherwise.

Réveillé en catastrophe à cause d'une #fuite d'eau dans les toilettes.

J'annule toutes les courses prévues pour ne pas être tenté de rentrer chez un buraliste y acheter des #cigarettes.

Stress et anxiété provoquent la plus grosse envie de #fumer depuis trois semaines.

the Hei-Tiki card from Wills's (UK) 1923 "Lucky Charms" series, ostensibly from the Maori

In the late 19th / early 20th century, tobacco companies often included collectible cards in each pack; usually themed around pop culture or sports.

#tiki #tobacco #UK #cigarettes #1920s #ephemera #orientalism #maori #newzealand #nz #aonz

Color printed advertising card with a jade-colored creature. It has red eyes and a forked tongue. At the top it says Wills's Cigarettes, and at the bottom The Hei-Tikireverse side text

The Hei-Tiki amulet is used by the Maoris of New Zealand. It is carved in jade, the sacred stone of the natives. Worn as a neck ornament for good luck, and to protect from witchcraft and evil spirits. These charms are regarded as valuable heirlooms, and are carefully handed down from father to son, as the talisman was believed to possess all the good qualities and virtues of their forefathers. The Hei-Tiki is a curious and distorted representation of the human figure in the attitude of listening, the head leaning on the shoulder.

Today in Labor History November 22, 1891: Dr. Edward L. Bernays was born in Vienna, Austria. Bernays, a nephew of Freud, is considered by many to be father of public relations. He is credited with getting millions of women to start smoking with his “Torches of Freedom” cigarette ad campaign that equated smoking with feminism, and with women’s liberation and independence. He also worked to legitimize the CIA/United Fruit overthrow of the democratically-elected Arbenz government in Guatemalan, becoming the primary supplier of information for the international newswires, like Associated Press, United Press International, and the International News Service. He described the masses as irrational and subject to herd instinct and wrote books on how to harness this to maximize profits. In the 1930s, his critics compared him to Goebbels and Hitler, and Goebbels did, indeed, read and utilize Bernays’s books to inform his propaganda campaigns. Bernays was even offered a job by the Nazis, which he reportedly turned down. He also supposedly turned down propaganda job offers from the the Spanish fascist dictator, Francisco, Franco and the brutal Somoza family, in Nicaragua.

Good morning. ☕☕☕

22 November 2025

Do you remember when all cars had ashtrays? Most had one built into the dash that you could pull out, and often there was another in the back seat. Those have mostly gone the way of the dodo now, since far fewer people smoke. You can still buy car ashtrays, but they’re usually just add-ons.

I had the habit myself when I was younger, though I quit decades ago. I can still picture the ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts. It wasn’t unusual at all for people to smoke in their cars back then. In fact, climbing in and lighting up seemed to go hand in hand. Looking back, it feels rather horrid—I wonder how I ever tolerated driving on a winter day with the windows rolled up, puffing away in a smoke-filled cabin. Even now, I occasionally see someone doing that as they drive by, and my thought is simply, “oh my.” I’m not being judgmental, but I do notice it and can’t help but reflect that it used to be me—ugh.

I didn’t realize smokers carried a distinct stale odor until I finally kicked the habit, which I know was no small feat. Only then did I imagine how much worse it must have been inside a car, sealed up with smoke. I suspect former smokers notice it more sharply than others.

Anyway, live and learn. Most of us eventually did. Cigarettes, for whatever reason, still persist—one of the great American industries. I can still recall the alluring commercials on TV, with slogans like, “...taste good like a cigarette should.” Those words once filled the airwaves, shaping habits that now feel so distant.

“It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.” — Benjamin Franklin

“Quitting smoking is easy, I’ve done it hundreds of times.” — Mark Twain

Perched in Silence

"A solitary black vulture perches on a rugged tree branch, its silhouette etched sharply against a pale, almost ethereal sky. The bird’s broad wings are folded with quiet authority, each feather layered like armor. Its hooked beak curves downward—a tool of survival and sovereignty—while its head, turned slightly to the side, reveals a profile both regal and watchful. The tree branch beneath it is gnarled and textured, reaching out like an ancient limb, adorned with sparse leaves and brittle twigs that whisper of wind and time. The background is a soft wash of light, devoid of clutter, allowing the dark majesty of the vulture to dominate the frame. The composition is stark yet poetic, evoking solitude, endurance, and the quiet dignity of a creature built for the margins." - Microsoft Copilot

86 days off cigarettes! Damned near close to three months. I can't believe it! I was a fucking Smeagolesque smoker, living my life so desperately that I would always find magical intervals to sneak a jasper. But nicotine was a fiend! Not a friend! I feel happier, smarter, and can run and sing much better (at least a half octave more on the latter) than before! One of the best decisions I ever made. Along with exercise and more fish and veggies! Quit! You can do it!
