Are people on LinkedIn aware that one day we are all going to die

@vvictorman_uel During Covid lockdown, I took ACC 200 to deal with a mild flu, spent evenings with what felt like cement blocks on my chest. I convinced myself I survived Covid and moved on. Years later I used the medication again to discover I had indeed been dying... from an allergic reaction.

As a child I thought kiwis had the coolest taste to them. Hot. Spicy. Electrifying my mouth. I loved them. I tried eating them again after a few years and realized Oh No

I believe this so fiercely, even in the smallness of our own spaces

@lezzzards @bimboyugari Bruh💀 I'm actually flabbergasted😭

@bimboyugari This is the wildest moonlight tweet ive ever seen LMFAO

still makes me sick that the only man he’s ever been w is an ex-con, line cook, baby daddy w white appliances who beat his ass & didn’t even age well…surely one likkle handjob during the bush administration wasn’t enough for him to excuse all of that

In Cuba, people pay one dollar for a USB stick. What is on it: all of Wikipedia. Every article. Every image. 7 million entries. In North Korea, the same kind of stick is smuggled across the border in plastic bottles. In US and European prisons, inmates use it because they cannot touch the open internet. The software that makes those sticks work is called Kiwix. A Swiss developer named Emmanuel Engelhart wrote it in 2007 in Lausanne because four billion people on Earth cannot read Wikipedia. Nineteen years later he is still shipping. Mostly unpaid. The repo: → 5,613 stars across the org → GPL-3.0 licensed → 100+ languages → 4 million users worldwide How it compares: ChatGPT Plus → $240/yr, online only, blocked Britannica → $74.95/yr, online only, blocked Kiwix → $0, offline, works anywhere You download one file. 109 gigabytes. It fits on a $12 USB stick. That stick now contains roughly a thousand years of human knowledge. Here is the wildest part: The Wikimedia Foundation reported in 2018 that 80% of Kiwix users were in emerging countries. North Korea bans the internet but they cannot ban a USB stick already inside the country. In Cuba, vendors sell weekly Wikipedia updates for one dollar. The Foundation called it "connecting the unconnected." Engelhart's mission, written in a 2014 email: "Our users are sailors on the oceans, poor students thirsty for knowledge, world's citizens suffering from censorship or free minded prisoners." The honest part: 109 GB of disk space. UI looks like 2010. Updates every few months, not real time. And every byte is Creative Commons or public domain. Zero piracy. Zero DMCA risk. Lausanne, Switzerland. One Swiss developer. Every human library, in your pocket, even when the lights go out.

@UjuAnya Honestly why is this a thing? Donthey pass it down on a universal scale, men to boys? Why in the world do they do it?

This is the international pedophile uncle greeting. Little girls all over the world know this sign of a dirty old man trying to diddle you.

we are not at all as we seem but are capable of much much more when united. Not against each other, but FOR one another. 17/17

the diplomatic capacity to play in the global arena but not on our own terms and we feel that deeply. Africa could benefit so much from uniting, and so much more from the intentional cultivation of our numerous economies. To lean on each other would be to acknowledge that 16/17

Xenophobia is not a distinctly South African phenomenon, unforgivable as it may be, it is not unique to our country. However, the narrative that it is, is one of the things that hold us back in the resolution of its ongoing renewal. One way or another the world tends to 1/17

@dedecaying He did, I was the retinol❤️
