That period where you ask yourself whether you should have a cool (not cold) beer or red wine has arrived.
I kinda miss the north coast of KZN where winter didn't really exist as it does in Cape Town.
But then, these dreams and bills won't fulfill or pay themselves 🤷🏾♂️.

How early (or late) can one buy a 6 year old an affordable brass trumpet? (Affordable by South African standards. Cyril's economy and all🤷🏾♂️.)
I'm getting tired of the sound of the plastic trumpet and would much rather put up with a 'bad' imitation of Hugh Masekela on a brass trumpet.

Freedom is/used to be a liberatory concept.
Under neoliberalism, the far right have taken ‘freedom’ as their play thing and run off with it.
By freedom’, they mean freedom of the market and freedom for the market.
They absolutely do not mean freedom for and of the ‘people’ around the world.

Reminds me of a colleague who once said their father was opposed to apartheid. In the same conversation they revealed that their father had served in the SADF for over 30 years and moved up the ranks (retired in the early 2000s).
Couldn't help but wonder how exactly this made sense to him🤔

Honestly, I really wouldn't be mad at a 10 part podcast series about this case.
A detective previously testified that organised crime accused Nafiz Modack claimed that cops were in cahoots with a suspect, Mark Lifman. Now Modack has made similar allegations, but this time, both the detective and Lifman have been murdered.

This has been an incredibly difficult week for my (paternal) family.
We lost our youngest cousin. A 20 year old who just didn't wake up last Friday.
She had upgraded her matric last year and had been accepted to both the universities she preferred.
She had her bags pack to leave home on the 20th😔

Funny how little has changed in terms of the grievance-bait.
"Pious divines and tender-hearted poetesses" is 18th century speak for virtue signalers and snowflakes.

when the abolitionist movement was gaining steam in Britain in the late 1780s, one of the pro-slavery lobby’s very first responses was trying to change the word “slave” to “assistant planters”.
