Illona Non Grata

Today, a good 15-year-old doggo, who has been through the mostest this year, went to the beach for the first time. {A THREAD}

@RobynPorteous ❤️❤️❤️

This is dedicated to you today, @Illo_naaa ❤️

I think it's brave.

@BatcatZA And reporting, for whatever that’s worth.

Truthfully I'm just blocking people with bad takes, today.

@DarronDiesel Sending love to you ❤️

💔

@KelliClifton ❤️❤️❤️

Please someone give me the strength to get me through tomorrow. 🙏

@BatcatZA 14m²? Is it … a closet?

Cape Town realtors will, with a straight face, advertise a 14m² (yes, you read that right) 'apartment' at a price per m² that directly compares with a penthouse apartment in the same suburb.

Inside every wolf, there are two dachshunds, probably looking for biscuits.

We’ve seen a pretty massive cultural shift in the past couple of years, but apparently not so massive as for spinning instructors to finally remove ‘Sandstorm’ from their playlists.

@LeahJazzLive I was very worried about this too with Worsie when I had COVID. He started sounding phlegmy & I PANICKED. Turned out the fool had simply inhaled some of his food 🙄 Vet then said it’s perfectly safe for me to keep him with me in isolation, so I did & all was fine ❤️

@RobynPorteous I am the lucky one, friend ❤️ Thank you for you.

I’m still editing them, but I just wanted to say that I’m the *luckiest* human to have a friend who I can talk to about anything and everything, and who (when I shyly ask if she’d let me take her photo) shows up and shines 🤩📸 thank you, fren ❤️

So, last Friday, my beautiful friend @Illo_naaa let me drag her to Delta Park to practice my portrait photography. It was the first time I’ve ever shot with an actual human subject as the focus of my photos. And it was fun!

@RobynPorteous It was so damn much fun! And the photos are amazing, you are incredibly talented, friend.

@RobynPorteous Sometimes I still pinch myself at the serendipity of finding a soulmate on this cursed little blue bird app.

A few of ‘em, yes. And one of my favourite IRL meets is @Illo_naaa, who I know I’ll be friends with for all the days of my life ❤️🥰

@RobynPorteous I cannot wait to stand by your side ❤️

It’s probably pretty cool that our first IRL meet-up was at a protest and that my dear friend will be standing by my side when I get married in less than two weeks time 🤓

@RobynPorteous I am the lucky one 🥰 You are the most wondrously kind soul, friend ❤️

An entire afternoon with @Illo_naaa and my heart is so full 😍❤️ so much love. What a beautiful human. I’m the luckiest that Twitter and the world brought this being into my life.

@zettispaghetti7 😂😂 I’ll drink the sippy cup coffee, no worries.

@kambabe Thank you, K 💛 I hope so too.

@Illo_naaa Sorry to hear, hopefully something better will come along🌻

Applied for a doctoral fellowship in Norway. Just found out my application was unsuccessful. Guess it’s SCAN’TDINAVIA for me.

@zettispaghetti7 AMEN. Thank you.

@Tamitamtamtamta Thank you ❤️ We kap aan.

@Illo_naaa I'm sorry 💔

@Runningflyhalf I can’t think of a more deserving candidate 💞 Again, Happy Birthday!
