@Okwonga I'm so sorry for this Musa. He was amazing. He *is* amazing. Sending love.

I never once read, saw, or heard anything by Eusebius McKaiser that didn't make me think, rethink, laugh out loud, or shout at my radio. He was a giant of South African rhetoric, a lover of language, a stirrer of emotions. His voice, booming & mellifluous, was a force of nature.

[Erin Bates @ermbates]

Utter shock, and a great loss for the South African public, along with those who love him as family, friends and colleagues. Strength to those hit by grief. https://t.co/wHFh8GQJBA

PSA: if you come across historical documents that you think are important (esp if presumed 'rare' & that depict state-sanctioned violence), please consult an appropriate historian for veracity. Do not post on TikTok, my god.

[Fake History Hunter @fakehistoryhunt]

This video has gone viral on tiktok, man finds album that he thinks may have extremely rare and unusual photos of the Nanjing (Nanking) massacre.
But things are not like they seem, I'll explain in the following tweets. 🧵

@BookwormVaught Former foster kid here. Loss defined my entire childhood, and still prevails in many aspects of my adulthood. Would love to contribute.

[Andrea Scheibler @AndreaScheibler]

@IdaHadjivayanis Oh how I miss this. Looks beautiful (as do you!) 💙

[Andrea Scheibler @AndreaScheibler]

@Mosh I see no issue here.

[Andrea Scheibler @AndreaScheibler]

@mkunazini oh dear god. the memories. THE HORROR! (secretly love it tho 😅 )

[Andrea Scheibler @AndreaScheibler]

Heartbreaking, difficult & poignantly beautiful all at the same time. Stories matter. Please listen to this most recent episode of #ThisAmericanLife on the #Buffaloshooting

What’s the one book you’ve recommended to people more than any other over the past 10 years?

[Andrea Scheibler @AndreaScheibler]

@kevindonovan @DetroittoAccra Frustratingly little about the company itself beyond some standard administrative notes, registration etc. But it wasn't my main agenda and after a while I had to let it go. Amassed a decent collection of their advertisements thru the 20th century though.

[Andrea Scheibler @AndreaScheibler]

@kevindonovan @DetroittoAccra Oooh please do share! I spent far longer than I should have trying to research Bata in Kenya when I was conducting my doctoral research there (on class, consumerism & advertising). Such a fascinating company.
