Pope Francis’s handwritten letter to trans activist Alessia Nobile.
Sister Geneviève Jeanningros, the nun who helped arrange the meeting, consoled her at Francis’s funeral with a gentle promise:
“Alessia, don’t worry, it’s not over. It won’t end here.”

Men who identify as breadwinners minimize their wives' financial contributions, even when they earn six-figure salaries or most of the family income. https://t.co/K2mEJMRZu5
Reason #835 why the (principled) public dislikes Zach:
master manipulation; mansplaining to minimize/normalize harm done to a woman; persistent misogyny 😃 #loveislandusa
Ewoo
The gist here in summary: SERAP heard that APC governors are diverting money from their states to do monthly ajo for Tinubu’s reelection campaign.
They reported to INEC to investigate, but they didn’t. So now, they’ve dragged INEC to court to force them to investigate and tell Nigerians if the monthly contribution really exists and where the money came from.
fashola era man, he go don shut down all the whole markets around this side
this one no even dey do anything, e come worst since them announce hamzat as next governorship candidate
and I will say that the reason viewers cannot let go of the weird stuff like this that zach does is because all of us have dealt with someone who does some manipulative shit but it’s so “small” that you can’t complain about it till it’s too late
See my house ffs. What is going on in this Lagos? @tokunbo_wahab
They have not come to pack refuse dumb in three months. The entire street has become a dumping ground. People that put theirs outside have contributed to the waste in the gutters.
actually very pleased that although we had different and strong opinions on this season of love island, we can all come together after it ends to continue to hate on Zach.
The Zikoko Life Anthology is BACK. Here's all you need to know.
Last year was a great year for Nigerian short films. Many made it to festivals, others were hits on the internet, and among them was our very own #ZikokoLifeAnthology.
So, if you loved the age gap romance of "Something Sweet" or the sensual energy of "My Body, God’s Temple" then you should be excited to hear that Zikoko Life is back with a new anthology on the 25th of July.
@DikaOfoma of "Something Sweet" is back with an ode to old Nollywood.
This is for you if you’re on the nostalgia wave, longing for our films to look and feel like your childhood. We can’t give away too much but just know it’s about a woman navigating a new city, but she hasn't experienced that struggle before?
Also returning is @UzoamakaPower.
The lover girl from "Call Of My Life" will take the director’s chair for "Siraam", a story about a young woman discovering herself through sex, power and agency. If you know Uzoamaka, you know we’re in for a ride.
The main character is wild, eccentric and irreverent. If that sounds like you or anyone you know, then mark your calendars and organise your watch parties.
In the spirit of championing new voices, the anthology is adding @IJKaelo to the lineup. He’s directing a story made just for the yearners who long for intimacy. He brings a fresh perspective to the already exciting anthology.
Joining the anthology cast are familiar faces like @tobibakre@genovevaumeh@OnyinyeOdokoro and Ifeoma Obinwa.
Zikoko Life will always tell the most genuine stories about and for young Nigerians. This is just another proof of that promise.
And ykw fuck it I will not be silenced or gaslit I know what I watched for six weeks straight. I saw a 27 year old Brit not only be a micoragressive, disrespectful menace but a bad partner. I’ll be here when yall ready to wake it up.
Just last month, a first class king hosted a convicted child rapist in his palace, gave him chieftaincy title and a car. Another convicted rapist was made dean of law at a Nigerian university.
Being a convicted rapist has zero consequences, rapists will keep raping.
