Ndamaris, how I spend my saliva and who I defend is entirely between me and my hydration regimen. Pls go back to quietly chewing cud or whatever you were upto in your milking pen. Some of us are discussing matters a bit beyond the small imagination of your bovine brain.

Oh please don’t worry. You don’t need all those things to become a cow. Thinking this thought and sending it as a tweet was all you needed. Hizi zingine fanya juu zinakubamba.

There really is hope. In Kenya people are concerned about trans women in bathrooms, in Brazil a trans woman is one of the most powerful politicians and led the charge for a 5-day work week.
Stop creating imaginary panics, and fight capitalism and imperialism, like everyone else!

Exactly, you people do not know. You have been living and sharing space with trans people this whole damn time and your safety has yet to be compromised. You’re simply choosing today to manufacture a fake panic and punch down.
Losers!

People are concocting imaginary scenes of violence in public bathrooms when there are plenty of real scenes and conditions of violence that are yet to be dealt with.
You’re all fighting ghosts. GBV is real and men don’t have to deceptively enter your bathrooms to do it.

a political economy perspective on this issue might be: the state, in its preparation for an Ebola outbreak for US citizens, was woefully unprepared for an outbreak that would be 1) created bc of its own extractionist (“corrupt”) bureaucracy, 2) affect its citizens primarily
Dr. Njoya is elucidating on the political economy that made Ebola in Kenya possible. Why are Kenyans agreeing with this journalist as if the first case was not presided by the establishment of an Ebola facility at the behest of the US, for its citizens exposed to virus in DRC?
I finished reading part two of The Disappearers ( The Blackjacks) by Marlon James today morning and I have been sickly and nauseous all day. My body is refusing to stomach the horror that is that violence😞

An unapologetically queer novel that writes unapologetically in Jamaican creole. The “novel of the decade, if not the century thus far.” Shortlisted for The Booker.
How will Jamaica contend with The Disappearers when it embraces what the nation has yet to: our gays & our creole?

Again it is not a socialist policy. It is a neoliberal capitalist model that was the brainchild of the World Bank. It guarantees universal coverage by *the market* not access via publicly owned healthcare system. That is a hallmark of neoliberal capitalism.
