My therapist asked me to name three things I'm grateful for and I said "free next day delivery, noise cancelling headphones, and the sweet embrace of the void" and apparently that's concerning but two out of three aint bad

If you haven’t been to the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens recently, then get here soon! The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and absolutely spectacular right now. 😍🌸

Why are all the evangelicals still here and not raptured? I haven't felt this let down since realising my emergency contact was probably a coffee shop 🥲

My fridge light has seen more of me this week than most people have this year.

Life is finite Prioritise joy 😊 That's it That's the skeet

Ever had to put on your glasses so you can hear better over the phone? I just had to 💀👴🏻

Nationality and nationalism always felt so silly to me tbh Its just invisible spaghetti lines humans drew on maps and decided were sacred 🙃 Nothing like pledging lifelong loyalty to a shape on a globe that might look totally different in the next few decades. Go team arbitrary land blob! 🎉 woohoo

Soft cold front clouds forming over the city 💨☁️💙

Every day, just a little more, I become this meme

Nothing says 'Monday' like getting to the office and spilling coffee on yourself within the first few minutes of the workday ☕🫠

Honestly I feel the same. That sweet sweet Google money completely corrupted Mozilla. It's sad yeah... But bye Firefox 👋 www.theregister.com/2025/06/17/o...

Remember... (wink wink nudge nudge)

Forgot my mouse at home 🖱️ and now I'm left using a trackpad today. Pray for me or spare a thought. I’m basically some kind of digital savage now 😭🙄

Be a Big Panda 🐼

Millen... What now? We're the Spice Girls generation 🕺

In-office days: skip breakfast, forget lunch, live on coffee and jokes. Get home: devour the fridge, the cupboards, whatever is in that weird Tupperware I didn't know we own, oh and maybe the dog food if it's crunchy enough 🐶 But hey "work-life balance", right babe? ✨

People craving fame seem to forget it's a spotlight. Your every flaw is thrown into sharp relief, even the deeply human ones, especially the human ones. I'd rather enjoy my life in peace than audition for perfection each day. Anonymity might be quiet but it's blissfully human, messy bits and all.

Sat for half an hour wondering what was clawing at my neck, only to find a sneaky leaf wedged between my jacket and shirt. Cheers, autumn 🍂

An autumn Sunday well spent in the beautiful Gauteng countryside. Peaceful river flowing, trees and sunshine. Just what my soul needed. 😍🌊🍂🌲☀️

Most Americans have never seen a tea cosy in the wild, and that’s a tragedy I can no longer abide. 😤🫖 Behold: the fabulous knitted tea cosy. Not just a warm hug for your teapot, but a whole vibe. British ingenuity at its most delightful. Why just make tea when your teapot can cosplay as a snail?

Many decades ago, someone had the idea to plant rows of trident maples along my neighbourhood’s streets. Every autumn in Joburg, they put on a spectacular show. Right now, their kaleidoscope of colours are incredible. 😍🍁🍂📸

It’s honestly terrifying how many people online can’t read for comprehension. And these same people are out there making decisions that affect everyone, voting, influencing, shaping the future.

White South Africans love asking each other if they're planning to emigrate? Where to, when, how soon. But how does one emigrate their soul? It’s buried here, beneath a bushwillow. This land holds my breath, my memories, and my being. I could leave with my body, but my heart would not follow.

There’s nothing like a Kimberley sunset 😍🌅 I love the Northern Cape province.

Sometimes I wonder if certain people realise just how abrasive they come across. Like, you’re not "straight-talking" you’re just… sandpaper

Some countries have smooth edges. Everything works. Everyone obeys the rules. Life is quiet, orderly, and if we’re honest, a little dead inside.

Me too Spheal.. Me too..

ARM(64) for PCs felt like a sprint. Turns out it's a three-legged race and one leg's asleep. Still not trading my ARM lappy for ye olde x86 clunker.💻

The universe giveth and the universe taketh away mostly just to remind you who's actually running this circus 🎪

You ever wonder what it was like watching Rome collapse from, say, a peaceful little village hundreds of kilometres away? Just minding your business, tending your sheep, and occasionally hearing news like, "Oh, Rome’s on fire again, is it? Shame. Pass the bread, please."

“You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic.” - Robert A. Heinlein

The world does not easily forget when a beacon dims, leaving a lasting shadow. 🗽 When strength becomes cruelty, nations risk becoming pariahs, not just for a moment, but for generations.

Wanting to be buried is wild. You spend your whole life draining the planet, resources, energy, vibes, and then in death, you still want a little patch of land? No thanks. Cremate me and sprinkle me somewhere inconvenient 👌

Seeing my face in a video 😬 🫠 🤢

Kimberley has the best sunsets in South Africa. 😍🌅🔥

Happy Monday

It can feel like we have made no progress in the fight against climate change. That's not the case. youtu.be/h1jOqyjcO4g?...

Patterns are obvious. Regardless of what happens next, once you've read enough history books, you can spot the future villains in real-time. Spoiler: It’s not Zelensky 📖⏳ History doesn't wait to tell you who's on the wrong side. It just keeps receipts.

Chasing things that don’t want to be caught. Maybe that’s the point. Maybe the horizon only exists to remind us that movement matters more than arrival.

No one needs a billion dollars. At that point, it's not wealth, it's power hoarded at the expense of others. While millions struggle for basics, and there are children starving, a handful sit on fortunes they’ll never spend. That’s not success, it’s a moral failure.

If you're not watching #WheelOfTime, what are you even doing?

Carrying hate inside you is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to suffer for it. It festers, it clouds your mind, and it steals your peace. The truth is, hate consumes the one who holds it far more than the one it’s directed at.

The number of times I tell myself "well, at least I don’t have kids" and then spend money on random things… I could’ve had at least 20 of them by now. 🤣

Some people treat life like a game of 'fuck around and find out,' but when they do find out, they start looking for a sponsor. Funny how hard work never seemed appealing until the bailout applications opened. 🙃

Banana WeetBix: because sometimes you want breakfast to taste like a banana's wildest dreams 🥣🍌

If the world was a classroom, South Africa would be the class clown. Showing up late, making everyone laugh, dodging homework, and somehow still passing with sheer chaos and vibes. 🤡 Yoh, we love to laugh, at others, at ourselves, at our own problems, even your problems! 🤣😭😅

Heavy is the head that wears the crown but the true danger of power is not its weight, it’s how light the burden can feel to those who wield it without conscience.
