When I was depressed & suicidal in 2017, my close male friends would come home to keep me company. They'd do my laundry, my dishes, wash my house and open the curtains for me. None even knew what depression was, but they knew I was down and needed help. Their love lifted me.
Wish I could retweet this a million times. For all the delusional tech bros chatting “AI and tech development in Nigeria” when we never even see 24 hours electricity. Ridiculous

a lot of black men have no real power outside of their households and amongst their other male racial counterparts, so they come back home and take it out on their wives and kids cause that's the only time they have an upper hand in a power dynamic. sad and pathetic.
The girl who said they’re not allowed to talk to their father looking at him in the eyes? And when he comes back home everyone has to stand until he sits down? And whoever cooks has to taste everyone’s plate? The families you guys are raised into are terrifying ngl😭😭😭
I can easily tell when someone has fallen for the idea of me and not me. It’s really simple kiddos, they never ask questions to get to know you more. In their mind they already know you.
I am a parent raising a child with a disability. I can tell you the process of getting registered is not easy. You can be on a waiting list to see a Government Neurologist for months . This is one area that needs proper reforms for the Disability act to be well implemented.
If you know a parent taking care of a child with disability, do your civic duty and tell them to apply for tax reliefs. It goes a long way in lightening their burden. Rt to create awareness.
“The key component of a boy’s healthy relationship to his father is affection, not ‘masculinity.’ The boys who fare poorly in their psychological adjustment are not those without fathers, but those with abusive or neglectful fathers.” - Terrence Real
I genuinely struggle to understand how a fellow African can be offended by another’s skin complexion. The colonial project was disturbingly effective … we’ve internalized it so well, we’re now carrying it out on their behalf. 🤭

If you can, please visit these kids and spend some time with them. They need to be reminded that Kenyans are not defined by the brutality of the police or the inhumanity of the government. Medics have done their part. It is The Community's turn. That's You. #KenyansForKenya
Saturday was a good day. We spent it with some of the comrades recovering from protest-related injuries; painting and laughing over games. They’re in good spirits. And most importantly, they’re not alone. #KenyansForKenya
The Pope should go to Gaza, and bring aid in. He should dare the Israelis to block him. Words, no matter how heartfelt, will not save a single starving child.
Tragic news continues to arrive in these days from the Middle East, especially from Gaza. I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday’s attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and…

Why is theft/swindling/cheating people out of their money/things they’ve worked for considered genius/street smart in this country? And why is it so pervasive?
