I just published the prologue of a story that I have had in my head for a long time, but didn't know how to put it out. Fortunately, the first chapter has always been there...it's been the following chapters that have always proven to be a challenge: blog.aminasi.net/peace-love-a...

Palestinians asked us not to get accustomed to the scene. Famine. Blockade. Displacement. Help single mom Mai & her baby eat. Read that back a few times if you have to. Both aid and commercial goods are at a devastating trickle. Give/find her link here: chuffed.org/project/hope...

Hey everyone. I'm new here. A bit about me. I'm a blerd from the coastal town of Cape Town. I yap a lot, stim a lot, and go into hermit mode after exerting myself a lot. I recently moved fully from doing narrative journalism to narrative design and game writing.

And I do think there’s something specific about East Africa because we are infested with NGOs. There’s an NGO for everything. Yes, even analingus!

To offer a crude example: women’s rights activists and institutional feminists might celebrate that a woman is president in Tanzania. And overlook that she’s a murdering dictator. Representation wins.

The gap between women’s rights activists and feminists in East Africa merits closer scrutiny. Sylvia Tamale has a foundational piece. More is needed. Shortly: Women’s rights activists work within patriarchy to empower women. Feminists want to unmake patriarchy.
