I think casual, “surface level” friendships are actually really healthy. Not everyone in your life needs to be a ride or die!!

The simple answer is there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Economic models are like rules for driving; there’s different provisions for driving during the day vs night, dry vs wet, clear vs fog etc. If the driver at the wheel is irresponsible, reckless, drunk, those provisions won’t save them from crashing. This is the case for Malawi. No model can work if the participants in the system refuse to cooperate in a way that is productive, fair and honest.
Just curious, why aren't our economists developing our own economic theories that reflect the realities of our markets? We're largely informal economies, yet we continue to rely heavily on western economic models that don't always align with our economic structures and realities

You look at an 18 year old and think they are an adult? For fucks sake even if you look at yourself at 18... Look at the pictures. Are you proud of that person? That dresscode? The decision making? – at Malawi
At 30, women should defend women above 18 against being infantilised for dating men in their 30s. They are adults, not children. Many openly express a preference for older men. You cannot preach women's empowerment while denying adult women agency over their romantic choices. FU.

This clip gives more context lmao. Raven treated Gabby poorly because she was jealous that Gabbys fatness was “embraced” I think….is Raven a loser? Am I late to this realization?
Replying to @AirTarig
Raven says she felt angry after seeing Gabourey be embraced for her size vs the era Raven came up in. It’s about an hour and 10 minutes into the conversation, as they were basically playing a game of keep or kill and the topic of fatphobia in Hollywood came up.

The privilege of being able to say "I am loved at home" is something I will never take for granted. Home will always be my safe space because I know I am loved there ❤️

Is this fuel crisis part of the recovery package? Because, friends...Malawians..we are treading on a slippery slope. I say this with grave concern.

This is Madalitso Band from #Malawi, setting a European festival alight. They do this regularly, touring festivals across Europe. They are arguably Malawi's biggest cultural export, yet remain relatively unknown here. Meanwhile, the country's biggest music stars are amapiano acts – at Shimo la Tewa, Kenya

I think there's a quiet grief in realizing that becoming yourself might mean disappointing people who loved the version of you that never challenged anything. But you can't spend your whole life being easy to understand at the expense of being honest with yourself.

It actually offends people when you're not longer the version of you they're used to. When you truly become yourself it irks them. But conformity never really uplifted anyone. So you'd rather disappoint them and do you, than live a life that's uncomfortable for your soul.

Pls, if I’m about to get married & my husband-to-be slides into your DMs talking about , “It’s my last time being single, let’s meet & do something,” please tell me. Don’t sit back and watch me marry someone who is capable of killing me, even if he tries to disguise it as a joke
