    Married girlies/gents, clock in, y’all know you can say no right? Fundamental Christians will disagree. So will hardcore Africans, self-appointed “keepers of culture.” According to their (flawed) logic, marriage gives implied consent to sex in perpetuity… *Mcheww* Ethics, morality, fairness aside; let us discuss the law. Until couple decades ago, US Laws did not recognize…

    The burden to YOUR happiness rests not on others but on yourself. Some of you shock me. Constantly blaming others for your problems. As if we walk on water, sh*** we got problems too. Remember when I got catfished in broad daylight? Did I blame y’all? No. I picked up my jaw from the floor,…

    Rwandan Girls, I’m tired of you. Ubwiza bwanyu bwiyongera buri munsi, ninde wabubatumye? (*Excessive, Unnecessary, Ever-Increasing beauty, why?*) My problem is, how does one stand out if the whole clan cute? It’s like I am both pleased and displeased. Turire se? Duseke se? Ntacyo, twiyakire tu. Was on a work call this morning, a Rwandan-sounding…

    “Riddle me this: How y’all ain’t never seen God but you want to shove him/her/they down our throat? Plus y’all so M’f**** judgmental, ça ne donne pas envie. Your sermons are too long, too boring, and too unpractical. The entire concept of established religion feels cult-ish, feels like a brainwashing session where you are to…

    Dearest Reader, How do you do? Lots is happening. Internationally, Assads’ Semicentennial (50) Ironclad Regime has fallen. & funniest part to me is the freeing of Prisoners.
