I enjoy the proper framing of a "colonial era law". People don't realize just how much homophobia has been forced on much of the world. Queer liberation is intertwined with battling colonialism and imperialism.
My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
My favourite Africans are Zambians BTW. I'm not sure why, but I've never met a Zambian I didn't like. Every single one I know is just a pleasure to be around, both male and female.
Hope I haven't jinxed it now sha🤐
