The thing about being penniless is not being able to afford even one thing that makes you happy. Can't even get myself a bag of coffee. All I can think about is all the debt I have. Still haven't paid school fees for the year. At least in past years, my fees were taken care of through scholarships.

If there is one thing I can say about my country, it's that South Africans don't see themselves as part of Africa. There is a disdain there. Therefore, there is never a reason to show care or consideration towards other Africans. Bring the coloniser over and people get excited. Disgusting.

At the hospital to pick up my meds. When I was going through the gate, there were some random people asking to see my ID. Immediately gave the🖕🏿 and carried on to security. Security then asks to see my ID. Has never happened before. So security is in cahoots with the bullshit of enforcing Afrophobia.

I never got to see the show or know of him in any way because of where I live in the world, but EVERY TIME I hear or read about him, they have nothing but AMAZING things to say about him. He seems to have made an amazing impact. A person who should have been able to live forever.

Cheering for you!!!!!

My favourite episode and favourite look of his

Relaxing in The Age Of Pleasure when I need to de-stress. The audacity of him to show his face. Someone needs to make him a special chocolate pie.

Doesn't he have a child who is one of "the girls", and this transphobic cum stain is saying "girl"? Leave our words alone Beelzebub.

I was today years old when I learned that Will.i.am had done the #SamuraiJack theme song

I'm a Black South African, and my mother taught me to use amasi, which I guess is something like a cross between buttermilk and yoghurt. The scones are moist and taste great.

For those engaging in divestment at a larger scale, don't fall into the trap of new tech when we are still battling with the unethically sourced materials to build it and the effects of that tech in daily life. Yes, I'm talking about the iPad.

I had planned to just do nothing the whole varsity break, but I ended up taking on work I didn't really have the heart for, and now I feel I'm in too deep and there's no way out. I feel I'm being forced to write about things I've no interest in.

I'm just here crying about how my trauma has broken my brain and how the coping mechanisms I used in the past no longer work. My brain won't function the way I need it to. Can't do shit. How do I build the bridge to where I want to be? Can't even read my work. I'm tired.

Petition to change tobacco packaging to the faces of the National MPs responsible for removing our smokefree laws.

Never truer words

I really need some sushi right now

Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius granted parole after spending nearly 10 years in prison in South Africa for killing his girlfriend

These images are historic

The Guardian did a similar thing in a lovely little display of mask-off racism then hastily removed it from the article with no editors note when they were pulled up on it

A thought just came to me about able bodied people seeing people with physical disabilities going about their day, and the able bodied person thinking they need help. Do most able bodied people think a person with a physical disability, through simply existing, is in need of their help?

South Africa may have cut diplomatic ties with Israel, but remember the personal historic and current ties that some of the political parties in the country have to zionists.

My life is so empty. I want to be wrapped up in the things that bring me joy, but that's not realistic. I have to figure out how to make my brain perform basic memory and comprehension so that I can finish this PhD. I need to get a job and get out of my mother's house.

One of my mini succulents is flowering. It should be completely open in the next day or two.

I immediately went to my usual book buying site to favourite Seducing a Scoundrel for when I have the money to buy. I love your books so much.
