I never dodged reading out loud in class. I was praying the teacher would pick the longest paragraph so I could show off my vocabulary and pronunciation. 😭😭

You could write a book about the social function of patriarchal violence and everything you need to get started is in this tweet

Women are being hunted in the East & the entire police force in Ekurhuleni is under a microscope at the Madlanga Commission. People are supposed to have hope that the murderer/s will be found when the Deputy Chief also has a pending murder case and is out on several bails? Mxim

Please vote guys.
Street lights are meant to stay on when the sun sets.
The grass is meant to be kept short.
Metro police is meant to patrol neighbourhoods and support community policing.
Recreational facilities are meant to function.
This is literally life and death 😔

Ed Sheeran said “there’s supporting acts that depend on me for work” and all the supporting acts said “let’s us free you of that responsibility big man…” 🤭

[chief keash. @keashahoneyy]

we’ve been having the same conversation since september 2019. i have nothing to contribute. just sad, numb and tired.

[Mr Dlamini @Ant_089]

Exercise in well lit areas? How when most of Joburg is dark because our municipalities are failing at the very basics of keeping the street lights on.

[La-Ndlovu @destiny_ndlovu]

It’s really concerning that if Tsontso’s friends and family hadn’t taken her disappearance to the media, we wouldn't have known there was a serious problem in Kempton Park? Because tell me why SAPS didn’t issue a public warning when multiple women’s bodies were being found in the same area.

There’s something fundamentally wrong when the burden of preventing violence falls primarily on the potential victim rather than on society preventing perpetrators from committing it

[Mima @RealLifeGold]

I’m so angry that we can’t do normal things without the fear of ending up dead. Whether it’s a jog, going on date, collecting a parcel. We exist as prey.

How many times must we ask how many more ?

[Noluthando Ngcobo @LuthandoFuze]

“this is not a shebeen” was actually a crazy thing to say to kids yaz

[NOXmahlangu @NOXmahlangu]

And we have nothing to show for it. Our roads are shitty, electricity is expensive, trains not running, busses private, no jobs,

[Degen CPA @drewvento]

It was called a computer room, and we used to leave the internet there.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

[Null @Vhoyde]

50% of the South African youth is unemployed. This should be the main issue everyone is worried about.

[Fav @favwontmiss]

I speak for everyone when I say there should be a turn off button for Ai, like I should be able to disable and block all Ai related content from my device.

[k @ysljennii]

I’m lowkey really concerned about how stupid everyone is getting..

[elsa @callmeMaharani]

notice how ‘girls mature faster’ is never stated as a reason why girls should be given more positions of power and authority? It only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify men’s attraction to them.

[Cairo Mathebula @Cairo_Mathebula]

Not a chance, her work as Health Minister from 1994 to 1999, is why restaurants have smoking areas and there's no Tobacco advertising on TV. She's contributed a lot.

[Magnifique🇰🇪 @Nyar_Luke]

It’s funny how men can be given the option to “pause” fatherhood until life gets better, while a woman of the same age is expected to immediately become a mother, provider, feeder, nurturer,and caregiver even when she has nothing. One parent is allowed time to figure things out😅
