You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea: In it, God tells a prophet to marry a woman He KNOWS will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, and used up. Essentially, she is worthless to the world.
Then, God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK, to pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. (Hosea 3)
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Bro, why would any man do that!?
Then I realized I was exactly like the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters and I sold myself cheap. In a way, I made myself worthless.
But, God looked at me, the betrayer, and didnโt say โyouโre not worth it.โ Instead, He said, โName the price. Iโm buying her back.โ
What's beautiful about this is, thatโs the entire Gospel. God doesnโt wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while theyโre still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself WORTHY of God.
Hosea showed me an amazing, present God who pays to redeem the unworthy. The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord!

Like a surgeon, real friends cut you in order to heal you. (Prov 26:7) There is constructive and destructive criticism. Speak the truth in love, attack the problem rather than the person, and never do it as part of virtue signaling to a community.

If the Caine Prize withdraws the award from Simba, then I propose that African writers boycott the prize. We cannot afford to be spineless in this fight against the erasure of writers whom racist platforms consider vulnerable simply because they have not been published or acknowledged in the West.
They came for the Commonwealth Prize, and those people are now saying they are going to restrategize. We donโt even know what that looks like. The same thing is happening to the Caine Prize. Why are these people, who are so quick to put our stories through Pangram, not putting stories published in The New Yorker through Pangram?
There has to come a time when we demand that the people who provide platforms for our work grow a spine and defend us. Because providing a platform for African writers and then failing to protect them when racist wolves come for them is deeply problematic.

I wish there were no concessions made to look into anything. Writers & their publishers took a leap of faith. Offered their hearts in prose. Waited. 400+ entries. Shortlist to Winner. One emerged( SIMBA).This time should be for the celebration of that WIN.๐ฟ๐ผ ๐ฅ #TheBlueFighter

Dear Crimewatch Team, I hope I find you well. I would like to begin by acknowledging and appreciating the work you are doing in our communities. Your efforts to bring attention to issues affecting ordinary citizens are truly commendable.
Let me get straight to the point. I am a resident of Tynwald South, Sisk, located next to the new stands in Fountain Blue.
Some time ago, there was a disagreement between our community and the developers/residents of the Fountain Blue new stands regarding the installation of sewage tanks within our community. Despite the concerns raised by residents, the sewage tanks were eventually installed in Tynwald South. Our understanding is that these installations were not approved by the City Council, nor was the community properly consulted.
We were also informed at the time that the individuals involved had political connections, including alleged links to ZANU PF, which raised further concerns among residents about how the matter was handled.
Unfortunately, the situation has now become a serious health and environmental concern. The sewage tanks have reportedly burst and have been overflowing for almost a month, with no effective action having been taken to resolve the problem.
We have tried engaging the City Council through the Dzivarasekwa offices, but we were informed that the Council does not repair sewage tanks that are not approved by the City Council. This has left our community in a very difficult situation.
Our greatest concern is that residents in the area have drilled boreholes, and we are now worried that continued sewage leakage could contaminate underground water sources. This could potentially expose residents to serious public-health risks if the situation is allowed to continue.
We have also tried to engage our councillor, Councillor Shoko, who, to the best of my understanding, is also involved in the City Council's financial portfolio. However, despite our concerns, the problem remains unresolved. We are not sure whether efforts have been made behind the scenes or whether there are difficulties in getting the relevant authorities to take action.
We are therefore appealing to Crimewatch to help bring this matter to the attention of the relevant authorities, particularly the City of Harare, and to call for an urgent inspection and appropriate intervention.
This is no longer simply a disagreement between neighbouring communities. It is now a potential public-health and environmental issue affecting residents and their water sources. We believe the matter requires urgent attention before it becomes an even bigger health crisis.
We kindly request your assistance in raising this issue with the responsible authorities and helping us get a lasting solution.
Thank you for your time and for the important work you continue to do in our communities.
Concerned Resident
Tynwald South, Sisk, Harare

When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
