An Appropriation of Gender

Extremely partisan and unreasonable

My dream is to make enough money to buy this app from that man and return it to it's former glory.

Under my leadership there will be a character limit, you will never be allowed to edit a tweet and all those blue things will disappear.

@kay_mahapa And this is why I refuse to be an elder. I have no money therefore I can not, in good conscience, be an elder.

Lihle Zenzile was ten years old.

She was excited to start Grade 5.

Her mother had bought her new school clothes. They had even spoken about going to the salon before school started.

She never got to wear them.

Lihle was raped and strangled in January 2023. Her body was hidden inside a trunk in her family home in Mbekweni, Paarl.

The person responsible was a close relative living in the same house.

Ou Action Society team back then received a mandate from Lihle’s mother to oversee the case, and I remember following it during a period when we seemed to be walking from one court involving a murdered or raped child into another.

It took 621 days for the process to finally reach sentencing.

Her killer received life imprisonment for rape and murder.

There is something particularly difficult about a child being killed in the place where she should have been safest, by someone within the family circle.

Lihle was ten.

She should be worrying about school, friends and what she wanted to be when she grew up.

Instead, her mother had to bury her.

Say her name.

Lihle Zenzile.

Guys if you live in SA and meet someone who pulls out stacks of cash— that person is more than likely a criminal. 98% chance.

It takes sheer courage to procrastinate. You either have an insane amount of faith in your last-minute abilities, or you are simply unbothered by the consequences of inaction. Either way, you’ve sure got some guts.

When I first moved to London, I tried to flag down a bus on an ordinary stretch of road (no bus-stop in sight). I think about that a lot.

THE BRIDGE: Orange. Sorghum. Coffee.

Orange-Chocolate Sorghum Sponge, dusted in castor sugar, soaked with coffee glaze, popped sorghum and served alongside a delicious sorghum coffee ice cream made by @_tapi_tapi

This was one of the crowd favourites.

I interviewed for a position in April, never heard back. Saw this job still posted online last month, said F it, applied again. I interview 2x with a diff HR lady and she’s all “I can’t believe we didn’t hire you the first time you interviewed!!”

And then they ghosted me again

Went to a shooting range in Albania. I paid for 3 bullets, fired one shot and handed the gun back 😭 I honestly can’t believe Americans use guns like it’s nothing.

They get salaries. They get tenders. They get bodyguards. They get free travel. You get load shedding, water cuts, potholes and excuses. Now bodies are falling left right and center And you’re told to be patient.

Every week we discover a bit of what made General Makhwanazi say “enough is enough” and risk his life and livelihood. Our country is a playground for criminals.

One of the hardest places to be professionally:

You’ve outgrown the job, but you still need the job.

can’t believe it’s already October. time flies when you live life on survival mode and work everyday of your fucking life.

[An Appropriation of Gender @knee_kooluh]

@foyinog I have no buffer. October hasn't even started and it's not looking good.

Put in my resignation notice and my job came back with a counter offer 😬😬😬😬

I just found out that there are people who visit their primary/secondary schools just to greet the teachers.😭

There is a dangerous little window after I complete one task where I could either become unstoppable or look at my phone.

[Bearded & Fluffy 🍺🤪🍺🤪 @ChiTownTim27]

I was petting a dog and the owner said "Do you wanna see her puppy in the car?"

And I'm like "fuck yeah I do!!!"

So we walked to her car and OMG the puppy was so cute. Then I thought to myself Damn...did I really just follow a stranger to her car cuz she she had a puppy 🤔🤣
