Birds. That is all.

Nigerian Pride 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇬

Originally, I went in worried the opposite would happen. Growing up, I've been taught that Nigeria, the country, is homophobic. (I was born in America.) But over time, I learned that there's tons of other queer Nigerians; some are out, and some are in the closet 😭.

I'm also not used to this much attention, lol

This one hurt, her work had such a profound effect on my life, thoughts, and politics.

May her memory be a blessing

If anyone is ever training you to replace them in a position and tells you 'its an easy job I don't do much' what this means is that you are about to spend six months to a year catching up on all the stuff they didn't do and sorting out the stuff they did poorly.

Be who your are for your priiiide

jasper you don’t get to get away with this that easily.

In a statement earlier this month, WCK said its decision was “driven entirely by financial pressure” and did not “reflect any reduction in need on the ground.” The founder of WCK, José Andrés, said the cost of supplying food had become unsustainable, citing the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. “The war in Iran has pushed up our costs significantly. The price of rice has risen by 30 percent, while the costs of chicken and meat have spiked between 10 and 20 percent,” Andrés wrote in an essay in Semafor. “We rely on gasoline to deliver supplies into Gaza and transport meals across the strip, and higher gas prices have affected our operations too.”

This week, Israel’s supreme court upheld draconian government registration rules for international aid groups operating in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, making it near impossible for anyone to fill the vacuum left by WCK. The court upheld a government ban on 37 foreign NGOs, giving them 30 days to comply with new screening procedures “or cease operations.” Those procedures include submitting detailed employee lists, a measure that aid groups have resisted because it would put their Palestinian staff members at risk. Israeli authorities revoked the licenses of the agencies in January, including some of the world’s largest humanitarian groups—such as Oxfam, Save the Children, Médecins Sans Frontières, and the International Rescue Committee—after they refused to comply with the intrusive registration requirements.
