please, get comfortable with going to events, movies, concerts, bookstores, and museums by yourself so you don't miss out on life waiting on people.

There is no need for meta glasses. There is no need to record all the time. There is no need to be online all the time. there is no need to record adult strangers without their consent or children. It’s dangerous and it’s invasive for the sake of being invasive.

It’s fascinating that giving to charities is considered noble and praiseworthy but creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered socialist and bad.

Aleshea Harris says she felt protective about adapting her award-winning play ‘IS GOD IS’ into a film.

“I didn’t want anyone to tidy it up. So, I feel that I absolutely needed to be the one to translate it from a play script to a screenplay and also as a director.”

Some girls are hot because they look like boys and some boys are hot because they look like girls - straight people deny this fact too much

@Khuze_Elikhulu YAAAS! 🥳

Without exaggeration, going to Wits is my biggest regret. Worst environment for students to learn & find themselves, terrible teaching & assessing, meh technology, mediocre support, admin chaos & bullying normalised. Survival or “conquering the edge” rebranded as over achieving🚮

Eu percebi que ninguém, nem mesmo minha mãe ou amigos mais próximos, sabe como eu sou de verdade dentro da minha cabeça, e a única pessoa que realmente sabe quem eu sou sou eu

Some people spent so much of their lives trying to survive that they never got the chance to learn how to swim, speak a foreign language, play an instrument, travel, or simply explore life beyond work and responsibilities. That’s a side of poverty we rarely talk about.

You should still allow yourself to be teachable though. Otherwise, what’s the point of it all?

The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to become a reader. Read the romance. Read the fantasy. Read the mystery. Read all kinds of literature. But never pick up a self-help book

LOVE how the director ejected from Marvel’s BLADE and decided to go make the own blood-fueled sword-slinging black man movie anyway. Exactly 💅🏿

People have called this South African trait obnoxious for so long that we almost forget it actually takes an incredible amount of skill to be multilingual and switch seamlessly between languages, mid-sentence.

You ever just look at yourself and think "you've gone too far"?

The actual art is in focus, it's fine

Why would you choose to be an academic, a life-long learner, only to turn around and be someone who resists being teachable. Every time I see the Professor’s tweets on my timeline it’s her missing out on an opportunity to learn more.

Code switching is a cultural phenomenon. What we do is a linguistic phenomenon in which we choose the best word across different languages as part of the same vocabulary, it’s not cultural and not racial, it’s how we use language to express meaning.
