I spent June solo-travelling then made an indie short film with some lovely people. "Things in Common" coming soon!

Pets as social signifiers. I've been looking at dog owners with side eye for years lmao.

I’m so glad someone brought this

@ety_17 Was this at commonground fest?

In 1562, some Frenchmen took a group of Indigenous Tupinambá people from Brazil to France to show off their wealth.

Instead of being impressed, the Tupinambá looked at the starving French peasants and wondered why they hadn’t yet slit the throats of their wealthy lords and burned down their houses

@ety_17 Yup I'm pretty sure all his books are about history/culture in some way.

Reading Chinua Achebe with adult eyes has been such a pleasure.

@ety_17 Anthills of the Savanna, the novel I'm reading now. I also enjoy his essays and non-fiction

Getting older has made me more understanding of things like this.

Nigerian woman are a special breed. I have this patient, whose wife hatessss his guts.

Everyday she comes, and cleans him up, whilst simultaneously stewing in years of resentment.

Yet she can't find it in herself to abandon him.

Time to start putting Saliba in the CRAZIEST conversations.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

I thought the backlash was juvenile, especially the identity-based critic of how OBAA depicted black women. Do people just want saintly images that confirm their worldview? I thought it was masterful how PTA made the characters both awful and sympathetic. Real cinema.

[Aymes @Chiamaka_Ib]

Now that everyone has calmed down, whilst I understand the OBAA backlash, I still think ultimately art is not meant to portray people or realities as perfect, Colonel Lockjaw was a villain and was going to do villainous things.

[Nnamdi @Ibeanusi_]

Too too clear. Very deserving Best Picture too. OBAA was a head above other anglophone movies last year.; it's scope, themes & ambition.

[Nnamdi @Ibeanusi_]

They should just start engraving PTA on that best director Oscar. One Battle After Another was too good

Industry S4E2 had me clapping at the end credits. A masterclass in elite writing.
