I’m really worried about 2026. How am I gonna get shit done? I feel like time is not the luxury i have. And I’ve seen that when I overexert myself, I easily fall sick. And that’s more time taken off from doing ‘productive tasks’.

Digital misogyny is on the rise. Why do some men and boys get drawn into – and even seek out – extremist influencers and groups?

My gawd. You can do all you can as a parent, but still have no control over what your child gets exposed to, and let alone what your kids get involved in.

Back from my hiatus here and I’ve got thoughts.
There’s an unsettling way in which certain scholars wear concepts like ‘social death’ and ‘Black misery’ as some sort of badge of honour. This is while Black people everyday try to survive and dream of better futures and presents. It’s cultish.

Recently been listening to Meiway who is a singer from the Ivory Coast. He is most notable for pioneering the Zoblazo style. A while back I created a playlist around him. Check it out.

As a queer man, I’m having such a tough time putting myself out there and hopefully cultivate something meaningful, romantically. I’m also at a space where I don’t feel good about my body — and ofcourse that comes with its own anxieties. A lot of this has been compounded by dating apps

In an effort not to turn this account into some kind of LinkedIn-esque platform, perhaps I also need to say what I’m about outside productivity and so on.

I don’t if I’ve hit the jackpot or what. But lately, I’ve been watching some queer (read gay) Korean dramas. I’m at the end of #LoveInTheBigCity and #LetFreeTheCurseOfTaekwando. So happy that to see #Kdramas transcending the ‘BL’ trope & giving straight up queer content

I’m currently busy trying to write out ethnographic chapters of my dissertation. I thought I had it, but I’m now starting to feel unsure about everything. Tips on how to get out of this funk 😮💨

Excited to return to South Africa this week to host a workshop, “Navigating Regulatory Frontiers: Operationalizing African AI and Data Governance,” at the University of Johannesburg!
I look forward to having critical discussions on the impact of AI in Africa.
