Before I became a career mentor, I was, (and still am) a mentee to some amazing mentors. In my career journey, I have stood on the shoulders of giants in my career, who carried me gracefully. facebook.com/share/p/1DrNuu… #careermentor

You're allowed to change your opinion if you learn something new that challenges your old opinion. Holding to old opinions in the face of superior intelligence is not a sign of intelligence.

The role of intellectuals is to challenge authority, not serve it.

Since I landed in Cameroon, I've been too lazy to get my CNI... so I move everywhere with my passport. Most officers understand, but a few still disturb from time to time. I usually dash them something small because hunger is real. But yesterday? One policeman tried to threaten me with detention because I didn't have my CNI. I looked him straight in the eye and said: "Try it. Let me sue your ass off." Then I pulled up Law No. 90-42 of 19 December 1990 and told him to read it properly. A Cameroonian passport is a valid identification document, both inside and outside the country. I asked him: "How do you claim to be enforcing the law when you don't even know the law?" He quietly let me go. These guys are mostly looking for people who don't know their rights so they can trample on them. Know your rights, your passport is valid. Have you ever had a similar experience with police over ID?

If the process itself wasn't a formality, why was no amendment done/accept to the bill?

Aren’t you ashamed of your selective use of international law? Killing children, medical staff, and civilians is a clear violation of international law. The USA and Israel regimes are doing so. Did you even know that?

At scale, most right wing fears are just "what if you treat us the way we treat you"

“She’s too educated” usually means “She won’t stay quiet while we disrespect her.”

Never ask again how Hitler happened

This story and headline is a perfect example of how racist politics and narratives are subtly deployed in media. Blink and you miss it. On Thursday, a man killed four children in an attack inside a nursery school in the Ugandan capital of Kampala on Thursday. It was the most horrific attack on a kindergarten school in Uganda in recent memory. The attacker “brutally stabbed and killed four juveniles,” with a knife police said. Nearly all Uganda media reports said the murderer used a knife. However, in AP’s telling, he became a “machete wielding” attacker. It doesn’t make the tragedy any less, but the the word "machete" often carries cultural baggage in Western (and sometimes global) media framing. It often evokes images of chaotic violence in tropical or African settings –think the "wild savage" trope from colonial-era storytelling –more readily than a "knife" does for similar attacks elsewhere. And thus it conjures up an image of Kampala, or Uganda for that matter, as a place with menacing “natives” walking around with deadly machetes, rather than an individual who might be been mentally ill. Surprising how strong the instinct to fall back on these tropes remains.

Reminder: Stop idolizing politicians. They’re our employees, and we need to fucking fire them when they don’t do their job.

To everyone asking why Iran is making LEGO videos… do you know the literacy rate in the United States???

@IdongesitUduehe Even if he’s not a child, it’s still abuse of a vulnerable individual. It goes against national mental health act 2021 and the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act (VAPP Act) 2015.

Think not of the books you’ve bought as a “to be read” pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood. — Luc van Donkersgoed
