10 years. It’s now 10 years since we lost Julie Muffin. The hearty laughs. The bubbly energy. Community organizer.
We lost a good one.
May her memory keep a blessing to all who knew her.
I Ugaman and many others spent years building Twitter in Uganda and we encouraged companies and government officials to embrace the platform. We shall not watch Ninye Tabz and Dr. Spire take us back to the dark days of bullying people on social media. Not on my watch. You can all me anything you but I know what a proper online community can achieve.
A society where you find five year olds miming to "Mukube Paver" at their Kindergarten at 8 am on a Monday morning can't produce anything better than that.
We have transferred indiscipline and rebelliousness to Ugandan society as a whole and nobody is safe from the consequences.
Michael B. Jordan shares one of the biggest lessons he’s learned in life
“I think being unapologetically honest with what you want and that goes across the board because a lot of times the fear of how somebody’s going to react to what you really want to say is what stops you from saying it”
“So you find another way or you put it off or you don’t say it and maybe the situation doesn’t change and you get frustrated and upset why this thing doesn’t change because you might not have said it the way you wanted to say it”
“I think there’s a way to be unapologetically honest and still be respectful and speak your truth”
“If I would have done that earlier, I would have been further along in relationships that I have with people I care about. Work relationships, business, family, friends, whatever it may have been”
“I think being honest with where you stand and how you feel is really giving another person an opportunity to be as honest with you and whatever your fear of that outcome is, it’s never really as big as what you make it up to be”
“Tomorrow is not promised to anyone but time will move on, you will move past it and if tomorrow never comes, at least you can know that you said what you needed to say”
Does anyone else do the neurodivergent plan of “I'm gonna catch up on everything and fix my whole life this weekend” every weekend but then it comes and you're like “but I deserve a break from being in work mode all week” and then repeat incessantly??
Ugandans: We are witnessing a coup. The military is now taking over.
People, the military has been ruling this country since 1986. What we are seeing now is a change of guards. The "new stock" just exerts its power differently. The coup was in 1986.
