Dear @mtnug , please stop harassing me with Mokash messages now.
I've blocked them but you've still religiously sent them every day for months now. I don't want to receive them anymore, thank.
@clmemelisaa@luvblessingz I have a screenshot of my best friend's status from the day he died last year. It was active for hour long after he'd passed and I couldn't believe he'd written those words himself. π
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
Sanitary products are not disgusting nor is period blood.
It is up to you and I to unlearn shame around spotting, staining, period leaks, and any form of discomfort surrounding this bodily function.
Lest we pass on these myths onto the younger generations, not a smart idea!
It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.
So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.
As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.
