🎙️ Connected Voices explores how Kenya’s community networks in Kenya are using tools like Colmena & Jellyfin to tell their own stories, preserve culture & bridge the digital divide. Connectivity is more than internet, it’s voice, identity & opportunity. @dwnews

@Skelle_is_me @JoustineNatala @MaggietheMezzo Give the normal pads just like you would gift a friend, neighbour. Them being gifted this type of pad because they are less privileged is what makes this worse.

[loise lenser @loiselenser]

@JoustineNatala @MaggietheMezzo And it's why we are blazing guns, saying we all get periods, and subjecting a human being to washing it with a context of lack of privilege is inhuman. Give them normal pads if you can, just don't push this agenda of washing pads. Hopefully, we will end period poverty.

[loise lenser @loiselenser]

@JoustineNatala @MaggietheMezzo Maybe next time you are buying to go distribute, give them an option of washing their menses and not washing it, buy the two options see what they will prefer. We also donate pads, and when we say this idea of washing pads is insane, we also understand what period poverty is.

@JoustineNatala @MaggietheMezzo Exactly my blood, that comes from the tissues of my uterine wall, doesn't smell pleasant and human-friendly whenever it sheds, so yes, my blood.

@JoustineNatala @MaggietheMezzo Thing is, you guys are seeing a real problem, period poverty, but how you plan to fight it is not something to applaud but make us wonder, are you giving them these pads cause they lack choices, or are you doing this cause it is something you can sell to any other girl out here?

[loise lenser @loiselenser]

@JoustineNatala @MaggietheMezzo So instead of championing for an end of period poverty, you champion to send a fellow woman to face the stain of their period every month, this is not sustainable at all, and if it's the idea of re-using that makes you think it is, am shocked.

[loise lenser @loiselenser]

@JoustineNatala @MaggietheMezzo As a fellow lady, no, no dignity at all; even hospital bandages from a scene of an accident where real blood flows are hard to use, and menses are worse, you can't tell a human being to wash some. That is insane; give them normal pads.

[loise lenser @loiselenser]

@JoustineNatala @MaggietheMezzo Can you use the pad yourself? That is what we are also trying to say.

[loise lenser @loiselenser]

@MaggietheMezzo Exactly, the problem is having people who have never experienced periods lecture you on how to handle periods, crazy world women live in. The blood literally takes on a funny scent when exposed to air. How would you constantly wash that daily, let alone monthly?

Has anyone actually successfully learned a language using Duolingo

Seems like a lot of cute graphics and satisfying sound effects but I'm not buying that it actually works...

She passed away the same day my elder brother left, One thing in common was that they battled the disease so well, which makes me think that this September is wiping them off, As a kid, I was so scared of July because the narrative was that most sicklers died that month.

Getting a #Sicklecellcrisis for a month or more, is the norm for most of us. In this episode Don shares with us his last experience.
