this is a thread of some of the books i have read this year (2025).
i will be updating throughout, with notable favourites.☺️

I’ve had more peer pressure to use AI than I’ve ever had to use drugs.

[simple boi: mabele & amabele @Queen_Finxa]

The hypocrisy of “should have spoken to us and not gave in to suicide” is only known by the victims

Because y’all aren’t as good as you think you are
You are not a safe space
And no, you wouldn’t have helped that person
Because when they do ask,
You subtweet them

[Rae @raeyoyoung]

what’s so jarring about this is that children are praised for being quiet and ‘not taking up too much space’ but when they grown into adults those same qualities are are viewed as uncanny

[Chan ❤️ @ChanIncognito]

Just because someone gets found not guilty of rape, doesn’t mean the victim is lying.

your lack of personal purpose is causing your romantic obsessions btw

[27. @dimvji]

the thing about grief is that being fully honest about it makes you sound clinically unwell

[leader of the softies🌻|🍉 @wand_era]

turns i don’t not watch series, i just like predictable shows. 💀

[zellie @zellieimani]

No amount of breathing exercises or journaling can fix the stress of living paycheck to paycheck.

[Thee Aries @GiftedAsia]

The way people respond to a bubbly personality really concerns me. Ever since I was a kid I noticed how people try to break your spirit when you’re too nice, too happy, too outgoing, too friendly. People that wanna know why you’re so gung-ho are unwell and are out to get you

[keji baby peperempe♥️ @madamkeji]

Please talk about sex, about periods, talk about intimacy, talk about abortion, talk about protection, say personal stories about these topics so women stop feeling guilty, ashamed, stigmatized for having sexual urges, liking sex, wanting to get an abortion, wanting protection.

[Adelanke @prettyaholicc]

What’s your take on men peeing by the roadside?

[Kabera Angel @_iamkabera_]

I hear you and see where you’re coming from, but I think we do need to bring “big” words back. The popular idea that true intelligence means being able to explain every concept “like you’re speaking to a 6-year-old” has become a very flawed metric for measuring understanding.🧵

[Martha Ahumuza @MarthaAhumuza]

I’m very generous with myself when it comes to pain management for menstrual cramps. All i need is to feel the first hint of cramping.

[Wangari Maina @mainamal_]

Made a decision to stop doing back-and-forths with men. One stupid take and it’s an instant block.

These are not clueless people. Men understand the weight and gravity of these societal conversations perfectly well. They just like being purposefully dense.

[Feeyi @ImaniMulungi]

May we see our mothers beyond their labor and service to us.

May we know them beyond the duties they perform.

[Feeyi @ImaniMulungi]

What if we restructured the Ssenga and Kojja duties to include sexual reproductive health & comprehensive sexuality education?

What if we pushed for a change in the information given to children & young people with up-to date while using the existing structures?

[Bri @YESSIRimBased]

I NEED people to remember: YOU being able to afford it does not make it affordable. Wtf.

[SG @antitheistdad]

Religion would die a quick death if people weren’t allowed to fill their kids’ heads with bullshit before they develop the ability to think critically.
