The more I learned of the United Arab Emirates' involvement in the genocide, the more sickened I got.

The African Union’s predecessor accepted colonial borders, despite their injustices and contradictions. Many Africans never embraced that bargain and the faultline continues to shape politics, including in Lesotho today.

Having intersectional minority identities in the West does not, unfortunately, confer enhanced appreciation of nuance in identities abroad. Non-Western experiences and identities are ignored or flattened. One even finds people weaponize their minority status in the West against minorities abroad.

South Africa’s Standard Bank became the first bank in Africa to offer transactions on China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System. The move unlocks a faster route for African companies to pay Chinese suppliers in Renminbi (RMB) instead of the US dollar.

- Ensure a distributed, integrated, and punctual network of all transport services.
- Encourage a transport-first culture for all passengers.

It's so interesting how with the different languages you know or are fluent in, you're good in and need improvement in different areas. I have a wider vocabulary in English than in Mandarin, but I can probably explain Mandarin grammar rules better than English ones. #langsky

The animated illustration style of GoFood’s preparation flow in the #Gojek app is very endearing.
I have long-term plans to divest from using food delivery and ride hailing entirely, so I’m going to miss these experiences when the time comes.
