In high school, we had a cook in one of the kitchens who delivered food to the school sanatorium for students who were under the nurses's care. Of course, George wor a white coat everywhere and naturally, we all started calling him Dr Cook and it stuck 😂
But the series is following the books, so River is still very much around, he'll just reappear in an undercover role requiring him to play dead.... Jackson Lamb's doing of course
The way season 7 trailer is framed is to stick that final season and prolong the suspense. But I bet River will be in S07 and not just in flashbacks.

If I'm not wrong, if the police publicly read this strongly worded letter based on this draconian act to gathered supporters of LM, then that is the historic definition of reading them the riot act. The violence follows the verbal notification
The @NPSOfficial_KE has released a long letter accusing @LindaMwananchi_ politicians of contravening the Public Order Act in Trans Nzoia County yesterday.
Now pause for a moment...
The Public Order Act was first enacted in 1950.
By the colonial regime.
It's objective was to stem rising nationalism, extinguish freedom movements and curtail public gatherings by the people.
Sounds familiar?
The Ruto police service lives in 1950!
But not worry.
Because the Moi police and administration officials were waving this Act and trying to curtail Kibaki rallies just weeks before NARC stormed to power in 2002.
Freedom is Coming (in the voice of Sarafina's Leleti Khumalo).

I'd go as far as saying that seekigng validation from a racist structure that gate keeps African authors has passed it's time and we should move away from the nonsense
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 don’t 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.

You sound surprised that a bandit government like Kenya has bandits in political office
One thing I've observed about Rwanda this week is how good the ministers are.. The minister for Health has a PhD in Epidemiology... Even the minister for Sports is a former National basketball player
Compare with Duale with his undergraduate in Education

My take is that African writers need to stop this desire for validation thrugh racist awardss
It's the "Kane prize for African writing that grips my shit". It's like it's supposed to be a gate for African writers to break down. Why do we even need this racist validation?
So instead of his achievements and essays, when you google this writer's name, articles like this are going to come up. Absolute disgrace from the Atlantic, that 'journalist', from the BBC, and the Prizes themselves for not nipping these racist, Afrophobic witch hunts in the bud.

Listen... I know I'm old, and I went to very good public primary and secondary schools. Granted, long time ago. For primary, the fees was Kshs 173 per term & I turned out OK. Very OK. WTf is taught for 950k per term? Clearly I don't speak the language of people with such money
I have to find this restarant and visit the fella just to make sure he knows I'm saying fuck you too 😏
Am I the only one going to ask what the hell a PS is doing using my tax shillings on a helicopter ride? There's nothing in the Environment docket that can't wait for the PS to drive to Kericho like the natives do
