So Ghanaians going about shouting loud about Thomas Partey.

Does it ever dawn on you that even though he is facing 7 counts of rape and 1 count of sexual assault., He is on bail; and can even attend a World Cup?

And Because Trial date is fixed for June 2027; he is allowed to go about his life; and only show up for trial when due?

In Ghana, to get bail for someone accused of a misdemeanour offense is like a battle against the devil. We treat personal liberty like you are asking for the Judge’s virginity.

Such a strange strange people. Even when you are on bail, you can be reporting every month/2weeks to court for 4 years, when the trial hasn’t even started. And even though nothing is happening, dare you miss 1 day. They will issue a bench warrant.

Our criminal justice acts as if it isn’t designed for humans but for animals.

These are things you need to reflect on!

Shalom

Basically repeat this to any young writer I work with.

Fetishising the idea of “community” will stagnate your own vision. Baldwin was spitting when he recognised that creativity also needs the aloneness of birth or death, the aloneness of the grave.

"I just don't like xxxx person/thing/group" is actually OK to say. It's when people try to intellectualize that they start sounding crazy.

I’ve repented, I’m sorry

Why do people who partake in group bullying against you always try to come back years later solo acting friendly like nothing happened? 🤔

[ń . @____damned]

it's sad that we now adjust our lives according to criticism and shame, not love or liberation. it's sad that we now have to present ourselves as a finished product when we are in fact a brief and beautiful incompletion. it's sad that most live in a facade by default .

stop sharing your magic with people who don’t believe in magic.

Realizing nothing can fill my void other than doing everything I said I would do for myself

[سایه‌سار🏴 @idkijustthibk]

I think there’s something deeply wrong with the way I resent having a job. I know it’s fine morally to not want to be coerced to work for survival, but most people have the ability to suck it up. But I am haunted by the reality of my one life on this planet being owned by others.

Screenshotting and bookmarking this because I’ve tried and failed to express this sentiment with such conciseness and clarity many times on here. 100% agree

You’ll never convince me that people catching themselves in unsavoury thoughts or feelings and self-regulating out of them is a bad thing for humanity. We need more of that actually. More of people who admit they’re capable of evil (and work through it) than those who think they’re permanently good.

[Vivian @suchnerve]

I lack the requisite wisdom to communicate to my friends and acquaintances that my self-isolation compulsion has been growing progressively worse, but that I want them to stick around anyway, but I also know it’s unfair to expect that of them if I’m hurting their feelings

[James @turningmystile]

the thing about conflict avoidance is that it doesn't actually help you avoid conflict at all, it just ensures that when the conflict DOES happen that it is maximally destructive. that's why people have such negative opinions of people who act that way.

i have a friend who treats me so well that she doesn’t even know that she’s established a standard for how i let everyone else treat me, and i think that’s beautiful

[Nneka M. Okona 🇳🇬 @afrosypaella]

YES. Have learned “friends” who are super critical and talk shit about everyone are actually insecure as fuck and dumping a read on everyone because it’s easier than tackling their own inner-discontent!!!!!!!

if you want to be a good advocate for oppressed people, you actually do need to set aside your personal resentment and emotional impulses, because it does mean advocating for oppressed people who are less oppressed than you are.

having childhood/lifelong depression is so disorienting, because when people talk about "returning to your baseline".... i have no concept of that. i've just been white-knuckling it this whole damn time.
