I turn 37 on Sunday Here's 23 random things I wish I'd known back when I was 27 👇🏾

does anyone else feel like there’s 8-12 elephants in the room at any given time and they’re all unaddressed

As President Trump said "We love the uneducated"

All life is conscious. All conscious beings are primarily emotional, and secondarily intelligent. AI is neither embodied nor conscious. It has neither emotions nor intelligence. It is a vast mechanical contraption that performs complex matching tasks at great cost in energy.

Movie of the year ❤️

A great essay on why we dream while we are awake and the difference between art and entertainment Enter the Supersensorium

finding out that love is not enough gotta be one of the worst experiences as an adult

To fall asleep, you have to first pretend to fall asleep This is how most of life works. Follow me for more obvious facts. 😊

Resist the urge to immediately turn your rage & grief into words, into fancy metaphors, into something consumable by others. Resist the urge to excavate the wounds for the lesson. We can just exist, go to the water, grieve + scream + cry. We don’t have to make it Instagram-able.

Modern society systematically atomizes us, teaching that individual agency is futile. You matter. In conscious solidarity, your efforts count. Organize organize organize.

Every person you've ever met is fascinating and complex in ways time and life cannot give you the chance to appreciate. And so are you. What a beautiful, once-in-the-lifetime gift it is to be the only you that exists. I pray you cherish it.

THREAD 🧵: @ClaireNamara12 , @KobusingyeNora and I have been silent on this issue but it's now that we spoke up! This is what is happening to us after protesting Muhoozi's torture of Eddie Mutwe, his hate speech and abduction actions. We may end up in prison. Please follow:

I find political trolling through gendered imagery ironic and tragic. To delegitimise a man, you strip him of masculinity. You don’t call him corrupt, incompetent or authoritarian. You call him … a woman. Very telling, isn’t it?

Allow me to remind you who Kizza Besigye is. He is a national hero who escaped illegal detention under the Obote II regime at the notorious Nile Hotel basement. He fled to exile, but when Uganda needed him, he returned to join the struggle for freedom…/4

Chores are the price you must pay for a clean living space. And also an opportunity to reflect on thine own wickedness

This was 30 January 2001. Twenty four years later, he is still standing – and all talk of transition has been silenced, even criminalized. What happened?

The emdash isn’t even the biggest AI tell. Not even close. It’s this peculiar structure: This isn’t just <x mundane phrasing >. It’s <y more hyperbolic phrasing>. This misconception isn’t just an attack on the emdash. It’s an assault on our right to punctuate freely.

People in circumstances far worse than you'll ever face were able to come together & change things. The most effective propaganda is one that shows us EXACTLY what is going on but in a way to make us feel alone & helpless. Don't believe it. There is always hope in solidarity.
