Huge part of friendship is being available and showing up. You’ll realize it’s genuine when it’s reciprocated.

In this life, just show up. To the wedding, funeral, hospital bedside or braai. Just show up.

they kicked him repeatedly in the head when he was already on the ground and incapacitated…
Metropolitan Police@metpoliceuk
Our brave officers confronted a man they believed to be a terrorist, who refused to show his hands, who was violent, and who continued to pose a clear threat. Using only their training, courage and tasers, they detained him while he continued to try to attack and stab them. This took true courage.

I commend creatives who go and get a 9-5! I think the “struggling freelance creative” thing is weirdly glamorised and I’m glad this piece touches on the reality of what that actually looks like!

I said I’d never get a 9–5. I meant it too btw!! But six months ago, I walked into Ogilvy, broke, proud, and coming out of a season I didn’t have the language for yet. The freelance life looked good on the outside, but behind the scenes I was on UC, holding it together with faith and performance. Something had to give. And it did. This isn’t a “I sold out” story. It’s a “I surrendered and found peace” one. In the last six months, I’ve paid my bills consistently. Led creative on shoots. Found structure again. Found people again. Found MYSELF again. And somewhere in the middle of all that, God stripped the noise out of me. Comparison. Ego. Pressure to be seen. Gone quiet. I also just finished a 21-day Daniel fast (yay). And it reminded me of something simple. I can do hard things. I just needed to come back to myself properly. Now I’m here. 9–5. Still writing. Still building Mimi the Music Blogger. Still called. All at the same time. Nothing I went through was wasted. Not the broke era. Not the pride. Not the breakdown. It all makes sense now. New Substack post is up. This one has layers. 🔗 - open.substack.com/pub/mimithemus…

How the world works in a nutshell: giant corporations profit from an illegal war whilst the governments who wage them tell the rest of us to tighten our belts.

I honestly love moments like the London Marathon. They are a brief respite from the wickedness of the world and a reminder that we are at our best when we come together to celebrate each other.
