My birthday is coming up next month. If you wanna bless me, feel free to buy me
1. a book (or several) off my Amazon booklist or
2. a record (or several) off my Vinyl list 🙏🏿
pregnancy and child birth wasn’t meant for the digital world. we’re actually not supposed to know as much as we do because now we don’t wanna do it lmaoooo
*Sigh* Feminists didn’t fight for women to work. Any woman who wasn’t upper/ruling class was always working. Feminists have been fighting for fair recognition of and compensation for women’s labour
His friend didn’t even check him on it, just advised him to “get her something nice”. These are the same friends who don’t know any abusers and rapists btw
It’s where men being abusive to and killing women, and women developing fear of and resentment for men as a result of those actions, are weighted as similar infractions
After people harassed that lady for drinking coffee with her husband? Wueh. They better not open up their marriage to the vileness that is social media
I need women in healthy relationships to give us more pleasant story time in 2024
We are tired of hearing from these pick me women and the slave master husband-boys
People around the world are joining ecovillages — where neighbors share responsibilities like farming & childcare — as climate change makes them search for a more sustainable existence,

The kicker is that the trick to retaining Gen Z is the same as anyone else. Pay people a living wage, stick to work hours, staff your organisations adequately and invest in training and career growth for your employees. There’s nothing special about what Gen Zs are asking for
My Uber driver rolled up my window just as a couple of sketchy folk were walking past (I was on phone) and if that isn’t the Nairobi language of care I don’t know what is 🤣🤣
Speaking of access, why must we be the ones always accommodating Westerners during Zoom calls? Why can't they be the ones to wake up at midnight for meetings?
Rich people living off the backs of money that they stole and looted off of poor people calling those same poor people lazy is the reason we need to bring back guillotines
Charlene Ruto: The best thing we can do for our young people is create opportunities for them. I’d like to call on our young people, let’s not sit and be lazy. You are passionate about something, don’t give up on that. Reach out to us, give us your idea. I give a listening ear to
And James Baldwin said “We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”
Y'alls HR managers are busy organising Women's Day events, meanwhile the files with sexual harassment complaints are so dusty that one can grow beans on them. We see you

Btw this is what cishet men mean when they say they want a woman with a sense of humour, they don't want you to be funny, they want you to find them funny
The gracious lady being driven in this Land Cruiser decided to give all those waiting for a Matatu at the Lavington Mall stage a lift. She filled all the seats in the SUV with Kenyans looking to get to work.

In North-Eastern Zambia, a bride has to cook for her in-laws, so they can taste her food before she marries their son.
The tradition known as "icilanga mulilo" is practiced by the Bemba people.
A lady and her family once prepared forty meals for their in-laws.
Someone on here once said, your privilege does not protect you from structural/systemic problems. Yes, your estate has water all year round, but your grocer doesn’t so your fruit and veg gets grown and washed in sewage. Thinkabourrit.
This is why Kenyan workers are always being shafted by the government. There's no solidarity across disciplines and sectors. Instead of standing in solidarity with each other, everyone wants to play oppression olympics
There’s a lady on citizen who has, with a straight face, said that “if people in the slums have somewhere else that they could move to, they should for their own safety.” You know. Cos they live in those settlements for shits and giggles
I hope all the men who were at the march are gonna take that energy back into the spaces they occupy with their male friends, family members and colleagues
I refuse to believe all that largesse happened for a paltry 6m. The invitation “card” was a bloody rolex. Jay-Z alone could have written a 6m cheque without flinching. They shoulda just said they want to party and show off
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”
I flew to Ahmedabad, India on 31st December, 2019 and successfully had Spinal Surgery the following day at CIMS Hospital. I thank God for the Gift of Life, my family for their unconditional love and everyone who whispered a word of prayer as I went in.

We’ve already forgotten that we had people of Somali ethnicity in concentration camps just the other day? How we constantly deny them ID documentation? How about the Nubians in Kibra?
They will steal your taxes, run down public services, grab your land, destroy the economy, then shame you for living in the impoverished conditions that they created
The perfect mental health patient for y’all is the dead one. Those ones you can love and light your way through. But those of us who are still alive are an inconvenience to your entitlement
Harvey Weinstein has 4 daughter, Bill Cosby has 4 daughter (though one is deceased as of 2018) R Kelly has 1 daughter so please stop boring us with "as a father of girls" nyef nyef
I really don't get into discussions with the "women should be armed" battalion who haven't done the research into how the justice system treats women who fight back at/kill their abusers/attackers. Love and light to you.
"...I appeal to him in ways his wife could never" is the oldest lie in the philanderers' playbook and the girlies lap it up like an oasis. You're so appealing that he married someone else and only indulges you part time, in secret. True love 😍
I have a married guy friend whose company I enjoy, and who I love to pieces. We’ve been friends for YEARS, since before the marriage. When we do link, it’s 97% innocent. His wife is completely hetero, yet he wants me to covertly assist him in attempting to persuade her to allow

Girls if you dont want anyone to slip drugs into your drink this december, then stay home and spend some quality time with your family.
my hot take is i don’t think anybody should be dating until their shit is together. eating healthy, working out regularly, having a morning routine, a spiritual practice, a therapist, financial discipline. things like that have to come first.
Lovers of the Big Bang Theory, how did Penny afford that apartment on a Cheesecake Factory waitress wage while Leonard and Sheldon, two physicists at a top tier uni had to split rent to afford the same?
