“This is the dilemma of the #Uganda-n child born between the late 80s and the 90s: a generation raised on the promise of infinite hope anchored on the heroism of a [guerilla] savior, or what I like to call a ‘political daddy’.” First Substack article. Happy ‘Independence’ Day.

As Uganda marks 64 years, we are calling on Ugandans to join our growing family of Guardian Angels. We are looking to sign up 64 new Guardian Angels. Please follow this link: forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/…

Maybe we should support people living with chronic illnesses as an intentional, incremental ongoing practice, instead of, as a pity-driven reaction to the worst-case scenario. Maybe, just maybe the intentional practice delays or reduces chances of a worst case scenario.

📌 Same as rapists. And capitalists. And horrible bosses. And crooked ‘comrades’,etc. Every aggressor within a system of oppression is keen on selling you what the same system has established as ‘fair’. Whether that is democracy, or police, or economics, or court, or ‘procedure’.
Dictators will always insist that you follow the proper channels to remove them from power because they know they have captured those very channels. They are confident the system will protect them, not the people.

If people dislike Elon Musk so much, why do they still use the platform he owns?

People get so upset when you don’t allow them to play in your face and condone their bad behavior just to maintain a cordial relationship with them. The more you let people walk all over you, the more they like you. Once you set boundaries, you become the big bad wolf.

Jesus. The perimeter wasn’t enough, they gotta pollute the air and distress the people some more?
Police officers have deployed tear gas and established a heavy perimeter at 9th Street on 1st Avenue in Eastleigh to control surging crowds gathering at the site of the collapsed building. Emergency response commanders stated that large crowds and traffic congestion were blocking access for heavy excavators and ambulances attempting to reach trapped survivors.

Oh Lorde. 💔
Many people are feared trapped after a multi-storey building collapsed in a densely populated business and residential area in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. Amid rescue operations, police fired tear gas on looters who targeted nearby shops following the collapse.

A lot of things might be uncertain, but at least you’re not spending your Friday at a compulsory self-important corporate event with a two-hours-late chief guest minister who is boring a whole into your brain with his long, equally self-important speech.

Kindness is an ongoing self-reckoning. It requires digging into the depths of oneself for more. And more. And some more. A frequent moment of truth between who you could safely, acceptably be, and how much more you could be. It is the area beyond the socially acceptable line.
