Hm. Big fat punch in the face right there. Sitting at my computer thinking i should write a post on how difficult my life is right now because i'm sure there are people out there who are finding life incredibly difficult and a post on how difficult i am finding life might be encouraging or something. Put words on to what someone else is feeling. But then my mind drifts to aspects of poverty in [...]
A little while ago i wrote about a breakfast meeting i had with Brett [great name] from Frys. He gave me a bunch of their products and i said i'd attempt to cook some up and blog about the experience and invited a bunch of people to join me. While i didn't quite get up to speed with inviting people cos life is so rush-rush busy, tbV and i decided last night to try out [...]
This @AFrikkinHashtag game had SO MANY F.L.O.P.worthy tweets we had to compile a second list... If you missed part I and the list of seven top words people can't stand, you should check that out first over here. But here follows the rest of the words that you could not stand: https://twitter.com/clebrun77/status/768400699562532864 https://twitter.com/EatNiceCakes/status/768402662928900096 https://twitter.com/EEnderinWales/status/768397079425187840 https://twitter.com/riknik1965/status/768400445270331392 https://twitter.com/jherron973/status/768400170086043648 https://twitter.com/littlesatan1974/status/768400088314089472 https://twitter.com/FromRightField/status/768400010908143616 https://twitter.com/Jaiami88/status/768399795761319936 https://twitter.com/TrivagoD/status/768399794268102656 https://twitter.com/HatedbyMorons/status/768399750408339456 https://twitter.com/papermonkeynz/status/768399739205193728 https://twitter.com/amitanatverlal/status/768399729713516544 https://twitter.com/RealStirfryguy/status/768399728912441345 https://twitter.com/Siivii_Jay/status/768399685316993024 https://twitter.com/GOllett/status/768399681000992769 https://twitter.com/Mytquinn69/status/768399616870117376 https://twitter.com/chidochikk/status/768399505154867200 https://twitter.com/SideOfHashTags/status/768409688107061249 https://twitter.com/ErikaUnderwoo19/status/768399090946150400 https://twitter.com/meghnanimously_/status/768411304755355648 https://twitter.com/RedactedProfile/status/768410375473684481 https://twitter.com/Punder_Woman/status/768413011895877635 https://twitter.com/StephanieTemo/status/768410198172110848 https://twitter.com/Darth_Pingu/status/768414557656186880 [...]
Is there a word you really can't stand? We asked the question and moist of you responded quickly... [The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun.

Two short pieces on racism that you might find very helpful: THREE LEVELS OF RACISM My friend Matt Talley, who i met in Americaland but who is currently living and working with his family in Spain, sent me this from a class he is doing. It's super simple but I don't think I had heard the three levels labeled this way before. Of course I've heard the labels of personal racism and institutional/structural racism. But [...]
What stopped you from playing the game you're playing by telling us what stopped you from playing it? That's right, two weeks ago AFH decided to go full meta and we brought @math_tagger with us for the ride...

i remember it like it was just last night. But mostly because it WAS just last night. This is the status i wrote minutes after it happened: Holy craps. After months of #NotOnOurWatch preaching I had my first real experience of it - old motorcycle guy in a car park going off at a car guard and I marched in and let him have it. So much adrenalin. Body shaking. I had the advantage of [...]
i attended a race panel last night called Real Talk where we got to hear stories from a black, coloured and white person [tbV]. It was a really great time and hopefully more churches and organisations will start hosting these moments of just getting to hear each other and catch glimpses into journeys that have been quite different from ours. One of the stories that Mbulelo shared was about the time he was on a plane [...]
With the Olympics fading off into the distance, it's a good time to remember what stopped you all from winning when we played this Hashtagging game two weeks ago: [The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s [...]
i had breakfast with myself this morning. Well that's not entirely true, but the big bearded man who sat across me also goes by the name of Brett [Thompson] and he is a living legend. He also is a vegan, but wait, before you start throwing things, just hear me out for a little bit. i met Brett through my wild pink-haired You Tube legend of a friend Grant Hinds [go check out his stuff here, [...]
