Pwani Oil, a whole registered company with staff and reliefs and pension plans, is closing down and somehow normal Kenyan citizens are supposed to be surviving this economy???
Lol one of my oldest friends who I haven't talked to in maybe two years just called me. He was like hey, wanna go see a movie? And we just picked up exactly where we left off 😂 gotta love friendships that aren't constrained by time.
I wish the first day of your period was an automatic holiday and you had to go to period camp with masseuses, hot water bottles, chocolate and wine on tap for 2 days.
Haven't seen the video. Don't want to. Don't need reminding that I am consistently at risk on a daily basis. My question is. Who was recording? How am I seeing so many men on the timeline condemning it, but not a one came to stop these guys? Ama how did it stop?
I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER TO BE ON TWITTER.
All through the protests, this place has been sanity, information, entertainment, a rallying cry, a space to find comrades, unity, joy, anger, wisdom. I love you guys.
This awakening won't stop! After that mockery of a space,
Millennials have changed everything! Cultural revolution everywhere! Like, we've made it so people don't even have to do Xmas if they don't want to, & can talk about toxic families. What a generation! Love to see it, proud to be a part of. Merry Christmas to millennials only 😋👏🏾
Ever feel like because of being Kenyan you have too many skills in things that aren't directly in your career path? Like there is nothing you haven't tried within your power whether it is entrepreneurship or side hustling and at this point you can be at least 4 things!
A pharmacist has been charged before a Mombasa court for conducting an induced abortion on a 15-year-old girl who had conceived through defilement.

Passed by Processional Way. There are STILL soldiers there, blocking the entrance with spikes. How can he be this scared and still think nothing's wrong?

Books are drugs. When you get into the rhythm of a good book and you can't stop thinking about it. Like a lover. Like a perfect dream. Slurp! A good book is a hit like no other.
I just wanna know why in my summertime era I can tell the difference between the sound of a teargas cannister being ejected and the sound of a live bullet. Who asked for this skill set??? WALLAHI

Don't want an abortion?
Don't get one.
Don't want to be gay?
Don't be.
Don't want to watch blue movies?
Don't.
But stop making it legal to stop people who want to. You're not religious - you're selfish,fundamentalist & intent on making your choice everyone else's. Like Hitler.
Please please please.
Let's just do soft and gentle this year. Let's just go where we're wanted, where the ease outweighs the valleys. Please. Not every intimate interaction fighting fighting for validation kila siku.
So happy this good morning!
@CA_Kenya
orders:
1. Penalty of 1m
2. Suspension of show for 6 months
3. Training and certification for HBR staff
4. Public apology in two newspapers and repeated apologies on air for a week.
So happy.
Wonder if they'll do something for Eunice?
It was incredible to see Boyz II Men of course. But it was unfortunate that their performance was completely dampened by the organisers. I would never go to a Stanbic anything again. Even if they bring MJ back from the dead, he's clearer and louder on my phone.
Been saying this for years.
@StrathU
is a high school masquerading as an institute of higher learning claiming to teach thought and critical analysis can't even allow students to be leaders of their own wardrobe, much less tomorrow.
@DaystarUni
has the same colonial archaic tripe
I hate Christmas labour. I hate labour in general but physical Christmas labour/festival labour/gendered labour/function labour...any woman whose been anywhere during a holiday knows what I mean.
Please stop telling your sons that they shouldn't be in the kitchen. Yuck.
Guys, how does a whole bank throw a concert for over 30s and not have seats, or plan for rain? Is it rocket science? Is it ignorance? Is it arrogance? Deliberate idiocy? A lack of research? Ostrich mentality? A determination to fail? A purposing to discourage future clients?
Despite the heavy day today, I must acknowledge the things that have brought me joy today such as
@AbigailArunga
publishing her first set of Children’s Books🥹🙌🏾🎉
This is her THIRD Book and is a wonderful set of 6 available in print and audio formats📚 Congrats Abi🤗👏🏾
Hey, sometimes it's not that you aren't prioritised. It isn't that someone doesn't want to see you. It's that seeing people takes emotional energy and that can't be mustered every day, or every week. Or every month. Mkay?
I hate companies that try and make it sound like y'all are family AND YOU'RE REALLY NOT. They don't give a fuck. They try and emotionally manipulate you into extra and quiet labour by feeding you that narrative, meanwhile you will really be replaced as the good sis.
Someone needs to discuss the small microaggressions/indignities that a freelancer life entails, starting with constantly having to beg people for your own money.
Just makes me miss Safaricom Jazz even more. Start on time, quality and quantity for money. Theast Blankets and Wine also comes to mind. They're doing so well with their delivery, can't wait for the next one.
I hate that a skill that all women have is to smile at a man so he doesn't hurt you when you say no. Or don't say hello. Or don't respond to his hello. Or breathe.
I mean barely anyone I know uses Always any more, not since freshman year in uni. Loud, itchy, scented (WHO ASKED FOR THAT??) and uncaring of their customers. Protest with your money. If we don't buy, they can buy their own stuff...
#MyAlwaysExperience
Funny how men in heterosexual relationships always want to 'lead' and decision make but can barely lead themselves into healing, or selflessness, or forward thinking, or consideration.
What are we planning after? Please direct me to people who are already involved in
1. Impeaching MPs (my last tweet is about that Space)
2. Planning the marketing campaign for civic education
3. Disseminating information

But employed people. How now are you also going to have, on top of the PAYE, NSSF, NHIF, gikmakamago...ALSO housing levy? Which majority of y'all aren't going to get houses from? Don't y'all already get only like 70% of your salo? HOW, Sway? Si basi mkuwe tu freelancers? 😶
I used to buy Satmag to read

. Faithfully.
I used to die to write for True Love. Like, I would stalk
@CarolOdero
in coffee houses and flood her email. 🙊
I wrote for True Love/Home and Living/Drum. I write for Satmag every week.
Listen, speak it to be it. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi pls. Today we're doing a thread to add on to

doesn't drink 😂 She does life raw. No medication, drugs, or anaesthesia. Welcome to the best cocktails of the year. Feel free to add, correct, yell, retweet, etc.
I feel like
#TuskerAt100
isn't being felt. Like I'm not seeing offers, the concerts don't feel lit...si it is the flagship brand? Is it not a big deal? Wako?
I wish we had a proper concert culture of delivering what you pay for. Surely at 8k you can't be having 500 bob experience! And even 500 bob deserves courtesy and organization?
If the president can be sued, then the people who were supposed to provide drainage services to Nairobi so people aren't drowning or not able to get home for hours on end can be and should be sued too.
It irritates me so much when men say women are 'too much work'.
What you mean is you're not willing to DO the work because you have to move past your entitlement & understand something that isn't handed to you on a platter i.e. a meaningful relationship.
There, fixed it for you.
Anyway. Now that US is done.
What's
@governorkibwana
's party? Where do we register? What activities does he need done? What are we doing? Mobilize. Viva!
#ReadyForAPresident
There are too few men calling out other men for me.
It's always women. Always. Being outraged.
Not all men? Where are the not all ones talking then? I need to see more. Where y'all at?
This predominantly French-speaking Congolese man said, 'I'm going to speak in English, and you will accept MY English.' AND ALL AFRICANS SHOULD KEEP THIS SAME ENERGY.
Tarrus was a great concert, the one at KICC, I think reggae concerts are the ones who have it right - Damien Marley, Chronixx etc. Because these ones... He. Bad sound FOR AN RNB CONCERT.
Congratulations,

Together, we have a planet to save from a

Now, more than ever, we need the USA at the helm of these multilateral efforts (and back in the

— ASAP!)
Own your anger. Lean into it. Anger isn't always unhealthy. Sometimes it gets things done. Or rights wrongs. Or teaches people not to fuck with you. All this to say - 'feminist' isn't an insult 😂
(when men say kwani now women hate men? Just say yes. It's faster.)
#AskOlive
Delayed payments are one thing, taking 8 months to pay someone is a completely different issue. Can you explain why exactly you take so long to pay, regardless of the fact that you are using the work?

The long term petition to remove your president/bad presidents from power is called an election. You can sign it next year.
In the mid term, you need to find your MPs and make noise at them. Their numbers and contacts are easily available.
In the short term, move them blocks.
Adulthood is just guessing, then second guessing until you're right sometimes then getting better kind of at guessing right I guess. I think. I don't know. It's all a fucking blur.
Listen apparently women's day is tomorrow but we're still having to deal with archaic shit like women being stripped for absolutely nothing. Nothing warrants that despicable behaviour. I hope they get sentenced to death too.
On spiritual warfare,

once tweeted about Psalm 109.
Let's recap and say out loud and direct at the chief murderer in this country. Everyone needs to fight with whatever they have.

Now who dates
@KaluhisKitchen
? Are they WELL ROUNDED? Coz SIS. Like can they even eat at a restaurant or anywhere else? She's like Yaya Centre my man. My guy you guy! Are they the default taster? Like...
And the sound was absolutely NONSENSE. Crowd was chanting fix the sound in the middle of the performance. Then the one screen we could see went off for like 15 minutes. So no stage, no screen. Wow. Such shit sound.
The church is and has been an embarrassment. I hope Kenyans remember this when they see politicians going to pulpits for votes. They're lying in the same bed, my friends. Entrenched neocolonialism and a complete lack of critical analysis.
Ready for a withholding tithe movement.
Aight boom.
Me my personal plans for continuance ar
1. Protesting with the medical interns
2. Economic boycott (I won't miss Kettlehouse)
3. Figuring out how to get mass action to not register for the deplorable SHIF scheme. Y'all know it's a law, but they want to make you...
Ban stupid interviews in 2023. I don't need to meet your HR for a consultant job. Stop asking me why I want to work for you. We're not family. It's money. Stop asking me to do free work in the application. My other jobs are none of your business. Yuck. BAN IT.
