@Meyeownboss You’re right enuh. they need to be recruiting people with administrative skills. People who can write witness statements, with proper sentence construction. It’s such a gap in their operations

@zanetascott You're aiming high, I just want them to learn how to read and construct proper sentences. Basic comprehension and Problem solving skills.

The energy JCF uses to try and be relatable and funny on social media should be put into teaching their officers how to de-escalate very manageable situations

@JVanCarthen Yup. And so many of us experience this in everyday interactions with the police. This is its most callous conclusion, on camera for all to see

Are we prepared to talk about how the performance of femininity (or lack of it) determines how well you’re treated by the JCF? From a routine traffic stop to how your body is treated at a crime scene— that performance can unfortunately literally mean life or death.

@BiggestBarry @Mellumjr Maybe because social leaning policies are viewed (now) more from a populist lens or what is socially attractive, and less from an ideological position. If it’s popular, it works— no matter what side of the political divide a party was on (historically)

There is a thesis in political circles being bandied around that is worthy of analysis. It is that we are indeed in historic times as far as local politics. We are alive to actually witness the PNPification of the Jamaica Labour Party.

I had to go to THREE different hospitals carrying around a blood sample because they simply didn’t have the reagent needed for the test. Jamaica isn’t angry enough

There’s so much we can do. Something as simple as having a portable point of sale machine and someone coming to you to process transactions But it has to start with actually caring about the experience of ordinary citizens navigating public facilities

To experience a public hospital in Jamaica without resource, connections, or family is TRAUMATIC. Have you ever done the walk from A&E to the cashier for bloodwork? How do ill people do that without family or support? Where are the assigned social workers?

Some of the discourse around patios in parliament feels intellectually shallow because we’re engaging procedure, not ideology. “Rules are rules” is not a serious political position. Examining how colonial legacies govern the legitimacy of our language in national institutions is

@gyaljules At the public bathroom in Portmore Mall you have to pay $50 for a few sheets of tissue. You can’t roll it off yourself. The attendants determine how much you get. I paid for 2 “servings” of tissue 🫠

@zanetascott I seriously just cannot wrap my mind around a public space rationing soap and toilet paper. I simply refuse to understand.

When I pointed this out they said Jamaicans would go in there and roll off all the toilet paper.

@RealDuttyMan I think we can be more ingenious in our approach to solutions than stopping at “Jamaicans teef” or “Jamaicans nasty”. They make anti theft tissue holders and soap dispensers

There’s something I call the “soap and tissue theory”. It’s the idea that a functional, care-led society can be measured based on something as simple as the presence of soap and tissue in public bathrooms. Particularly in hospitals.

If there’s soap and tissue it signals a couple things— the belief that people deserve a dignified bathroom experience, a budget for replacement, systems of care integrated into operations etc

This is a good editorial, but the Gleaner does not go far enough. Hotels are importing nearly 70% of the food and beverages consumed by guests. Hotel workers are earning less than $5 dollars an hour, without the ability to accept tips - many of them working “split shifts” that start in the morning and end at nearly midnight. At this point, the product is far too extractive - and fuels a wealth gap that is untenable.

Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett has announced a planned overhaul of Jamaica’s legislative framework, which will replace the 72-year-old Tourist Board Act with a new Tourism Authority Act. Read more: jamaica-gleaner.com/article/commen…
