You hate the existence of someone so much that you kill them—for being true to themselves, for simply living their truth. A truth that takes nothing from you, adds nothing to your pain, threatens nothing but your prejudice.

Stop homophobia. Stop killing homosexuals. Stop weaponising hate and calling it culture.
You hate the existence of someone so much that you kill them—for being true to themselves, for simply living their truth. A truth that takes nothing from you, adds nothing to your pain, threatens nothing but your prejudice.

No one deserves to be killed because they are gay. There are other problematic and fucked-up identities that we treat with more dignity and, frankly, it’s disgusting.

My books are not stupid. My books are not stupid. My books are not stupid. My stories are important. Just reminding myself... because the impostor syndrome is loud today. 🖤 #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor

I understand that Nigerians produce a lot of literature.I get it but if you are curating an African list of 20 books, there shouldn't be more than 2 Nigerian books on your list. Y'all are getting too comfortable in your laziness. Do your research, it's 2025!

@TheHumJournal added it to its Monthly book rec, so I got a copy, read the first chapter, and am invested! 🔥🔥 Have you read it? No spoilers but thoughts? Did you like it? What did you like most about it?
