“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.

Stuart Hayford [Ato Essandoh] is my favorite Stuart on US Television, since Family Guy’s Stewie Griffin. Very different characters, similar endearment. I was ready to take out Penn myself for firing him, glad the writers made the team stand with him. ᴳʰᵃⁿᵃⁱᵃⁿ ᵐᵉⁿ, ᵉʰ.

Kid Cudi just announced that he’ll play Jean-Michel Basquiat in ‘JEAN,’ a film he will also write and direct. Filming is expected to begin in 2027, marking his third feature as director after the upcoming ‘Doe’ and ‘Wrong Number.’ Cudi shared an early wardrobe test alongside the announcement, explaining that years of suggestions he should play Basquiat finally pushed him to write the film himself. He describes it as “a love letter to Jean, the 80s and NY city,” drawing on research and conversations with people who knew the artist.

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read

Women and girls, once again bearing the brunt of these idiots’ actions. A reminder that the church has often been and continues to be, among other things, a site of gendered abuse and exploitation.

Second traveler to “leave hospital where they’re being treated and get on a flight.” Presumably before complete remission. Is Uganda being scapegoated as gov’t comms claims? Are we missing something, or are certain ‘important’ patients flouting SOPs? @MinofHealthUG @assempebwa

Nigeria has confirmed one case of Ebola disease in the Federal Capital Territory. The patient, a woman who recently arrived on an international flight from Uganda, had been receiving treatment at a private hospital before the diagnosis was confirmed on Tuesday.

Oh, #Uganda! No amount of tourism campaigns and marathons is going to sanitize this state-sanctioned violence, I am afraid.

Literature, art, they unindoctrinate you. The more you read, the more people begin to look like people, and less like the demarcations of caste, religion, and region into which the world insists on dividing them.

I do wonder if this energy is returned when the dependents are not children. Do you check in on your friends with ailing parents? Bedridden siblings? Chronically ill cousins? Impoverished aunts? Or is tribe only a thing that mothers are allowed to dream of?

If your friend has a baby and you don’t have kids, you have to be the one to put in more effort in maintaining the friendship. That’s part of being in mama’s tribe. Don’t take it personal if she isn’t hitting you up first. She’s raising a freaking human being lol

We shouldn't be mean to people who aren't academically smart but we absolutely have a right + responsibility to shame the intellectually incurious. The world is literally on fire because of anti-intellectualism

one of the complains of the students protesting was that their school bathrooms are not appropriately stocked for menstrual care

The seamless incorporation of opera and theatre as foreshadow for his ‘final hour’? That overlap of theatre-cinema -television all at once? Rousing! Delicious! Give us another season!

I really, really particularly love the complexity and care with which the writers at #TheDiplomat are unfolding the Eidra-Stuart storyline. The series is brilliant through and through.

We will never live down the shame of this happening in public, on camera, and the authorities just brushing it off with an alleged reprimand and that’s it. Not nearly enough. So we still wait @RwandaGender @Rwanda_Justice @Rwandapolice @RwandaGov @RNPSpokesperson @RIB_Rw
