Thinking Things and Things Thinking
I find it interesting that cis men will say violent things about women and call it “banter” meanwhile women are trying to survive this hell. Kenyan “conservatives” are the most confused people IMO. Like, their conservative views are mostly to do with what other people do with their lives. Like, mind your own business Kamau.… Read More Thinking Things and Things Thinking
Thoughts on “The Social Dilemma”
Have you watched this documentary on Netflix? I did over the weekend and I have some thoughts. Spoiler Alert obviously. Of course Capitalism is motivating all these nefarious things that tech companies decide to do. Money talks etc. The part where that one dude said that we are all lab rats but not in doing… Read More Thoughts on “The Social Dilemma”
KB Lager Vs Tusker Premium Ale
I am not a beer connoisseur. I don’t often drink beer but I love trying new beer. I am not an expert and I am not claiming to be one. Don’t come for me. These are two very different beers. The Tusker Premium Ale tastes like an IPA that didn’t quite get where it needs… Read More KB Lager Vs Tusker Premium Ale
I Really Wonder
1. Which mainstream Kenyan musician will release a protest song? I thought about this as I was listening to Burna Boy’s Monster’s You Made. What happened to protest songs in Kenya anyway? 2. Why do we assume that having one of “our own” in a position will somehow cause a change in a situation or… Read More I Really Wonder
Kenya and Interpretations of Christianity

And I realise how Christianity as interpreted in Kenya is completely modeled from WHITE MISSIONARIES and Colonialism. It is… Read More Kenya and Interpretations of Christianity
Hello? Can you hear me?
Some time back I asked on Instagram whether people generally felt heard. I think sometimes I like to imagine I am not heard but at the same time I have to question – Am I speaking my truth? Am I speaking to people who want to listen to me? (because let’s be real, people can’t… Read More Hello? Can you hear me?
Martha Wash, Fatness, Marketability and Capitalism
There is no sentiment that grinds my gears than “Even if you don’t know who Martha Wash is, you know her voice.” If you are a student, lover of music… you ideally should know who Martha Wash is. But I am getting ahead of myself. We were re-watching the Unsung Sylvester episode and Martha Wash… Read More Martha Wash, Fatness, Marketability and Capitalism
Answer Me This
If you don’t feel useful, can you feel alive? Is it possible to end a relationship beautifully? When do we start distrusting our bodies? How do we get back to trusting ourselves? Must pain be turned to purpose? Can you live without planning for the future? Why do we worry about worrying? Who are you… Read More Answer Me This
Questions I’ve Been Asking Myself
Why is my sleep so trash? How do I steer this conversation away from the consuming Pandemic conversation? It is privilege to want to steer conversation away from Covid talk? Will capitalism continue to keep us in shackles forever? Before you eat that dairy, do you even know when you’ll get the next stash of… Read More Questions I’ve Been Asking Myself
