76 years ago, Ray Bradbury published "There Will Come Soft Rains," an apocalyptic short story about a time when we have wiped ourselves out—but our AI obliviously continues automating our empty smart homes.
Bradbury set the story on August 4, 2026.

The system is upset that you still remember June 25. It is even more disturbed that your memory is not vague, but graphic —that you remember what happened that day, what followed in its wake, and what has continued to unfold ever since. This was not to be remembered.

My purpose in the game is fulfilled ⭐️
I lived out my childhood dreams, played on the biggest stages, won the biggest trophies. Grateful to God for all of it.
To all my fans, the clubs, my teammates and my family: this will forever be ours. Thank you.
The mission is complete. Now I step into my next calling.
More of the journey to come.
Love,
Divock Origi

Someone wrote a paper on my chapbook and it’s made it to a really big academic conference. And the moral of this is that you should read, cite and critically engage African women poets. Contemporary African women poets!!!
