This week we found a nice similarity between a KiSwahili word and a Twi word. It’s so cool because these two languages are not AT ALL related! Does this word appear in your language? #afronalia #africanlanguages #kiswahili #twi #homophones #polyglot #blacksky #langsky

"Kpera ye" is a Kpelle phrase that is often translated as "please". It is more indicative of supplication than the English please. It can be used where the request is seen as unusual or serious, or to indicate persistence. Just like abeg! #afronalia #africanlanguages #kpelle #langsky #blacksky

Oop not they caught the shooter because his father snitched.

There is so much happening that should aggressively radicalize you but, instead, some of you are stuck at empathizing with openly violent oppressors.

Malcom X on how race and religion always intertwine:

Something very odd about staunchly religious people. They’re often disconnected from what community really is, and always exhibit an empathy deficit. It’s no surprise to me, for example, that white supremacy and christianity are almost inseparable.

Abrego is the *only* prisoner ever released from CECOT, so this is the sole account we have of the horrifying conditions in the prison in El Salvador where Trump has sent over 260 people from the US.

Cherish the warmth and the good times. Jàn-bàki is a Hausa compound word that means "Lipstick" or literally, "red-mouth". #afronalia #africanlanguages #Hausa #summer #africanfashion #casual #contemporary #langsky #blacksky

Sabaweli, is an isiXhosa word, popularized by its slang form, SBWL, meaning crave, desire, yearn or want and is normally used in the context of things or experiences one cannot currently have. #afronalia #africanlanguages #isiXhosa #casual #contemporary #africanfashion #langsky #blacksky #summer

Fuck her fr. Went from racist jokes and stealing jokes to zionist rhetoric. They were right when they said she look like a cabbage patch kid.

They’re one of the most exploited classes of people in the country, and the US maintains racist immigration policy to make sure that their dehumanized status is maintained.

My hot take for today is that the term “insurance returns” should exist. If, at the end of the year, you face no tragedy that needs coverage, a percentage of the total premiums you paid that year should be given back to you.

I really should’ve sat in my corner and ate my food but now I know that Amir Shevat, one of 24 major investors in BlueSky, is an admitted zionist who has served in the IDF and advocates for the arrest of Palestinian minors.

Ha!

I say Lumon like a French word.

Allow us to make *you* wearing this tshirt a part of someone else's list. Sabaweli is an isiXhosa word that denotes a desire, yearning or, dare we say, a wish used in the context of things or experiences one cannot currently have. As you can see, iyasebenza! #afronalia #langsky #isiXhosa #sbwl

Today we discover a homonym shared between Yorùbá and a few Bantu languages. IsiXhosa, IsiZulu and ChiShona being a few. Is it bad if we say they are near-homophones? 🫣 Lol. Share and like if you learned something new and want to see more. #langsky #yorùbá #isiXhosa #isiZulu #africanlanguages

A sci-fi movie where the world isn’t a fucking dystopia challenge.

Misogynoir is not a joke. It’s historical violence. That was a crass thing to say and this shouldn’t be your commentary on it.

Not to be dramatic and weird but I got a chance to have a gulp of fresh breast milk today and I actually couldn’t believe my taste buds. I would legit figure out how to lactate if it meant a constant, selfish supply of breastmilk.

Abusuapanyin is a Twi title for the current head of a family. It translates directly to “family elder”. It conveys you’re seasoned and deserving of respect. The head honcho; final boss; the don dada but subtle and very humorous, in this particular context😅 #langSky #GhanaSky #africanlanguages

Can’t even bring myself to laugh at the way politicians just brazenly lie at our expense. Lies that actively translate into harm for so many vulnerable people.

Being a baby must be wild because you wake up every day with what might as well be a new super power(improved or new body function).

This picture really has no real explanation. You made a grunt in your sleep and I came over to make sure you were okay :)

We all can’t be neurotypical, Johny.

“Peanut soup” is so egregious.

You don’t remember the joke—but you know it was funny. So you look wistfully into the distance, softly chuckling at a joke you might never remember.

Ahh yes, this reminds me of the fact that people fart between 10 and 20 times a day so if you’re on a 2hr airplane flight, there’s a probability that everyone on it has farted once.

Good luck to them trying to erase the archived internet, including all forms of physical media with their names in it.

People who say “big back” in reference to fatness <<<< We’re old enough to know that’s an anti-fat slur.

This is how I’ve decided to fix the broken temple of my glasses. It might not be pretty but it works!

Lookout for this fool using a fake account. Fooled me for a minute. Reported and blocked:

Lmaooo

The real feds are those people who tell you that marginalized people, within your spaces, are not worth dignity because your adherence to them effectively destroys those spaces.

Both that white man using the #blacksky hashtag and the black dude egging him on with horrible racial politics gotta go tbh.

The kind of cold that makes you shiver when you simply think about stepping out into it.

Abusuapanyin is a Twi/Fante title for the head of a family. It translates directly to “family elder”. Casually, it communicates that you’re seasoned and deserving of respect. The head honcho; the final boss; the don dada—but in a subtle way 😅

This is true!

That “Save the turtles” recycling campaign was so devious because all the companies did was ramp up their ethical practices and hope we fought it out.

The concern will come, as always, because fascism will also affect the people close to you.

There are many, many shocking things about growing up and starting to understand how the world works. I think rent and health insurance are up there.
