Saw #superman & loved it. Have loved 🦸🏽‍♂️ since I was 5, 44 yrs ago. My fave part of the film: That people cheering/ keeping 🤐 about Israel’s genocide won’t be able to cheer Superman’s side. Imagine not being able to cheer SUPERMAN & still fooling yourself you are NEAR the right side of history. 🤡🧌.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.*

(Well, money I begged for. My poor mom took pity on 15-year-old me and gave me the money after I peeled a small tub of potatoes 😅)

Thankfully there is already a groundswell among Muslim Capetonians to express their condemnation of this violence. A much-needed reminder that many in my community are willing to stand up & be counted for ALL vulnerable people - not only those who look, think and act like them 🫶🏾

Not the country, city or suburb for this. Not ever, but especially not this week.

The worst of the descendants of the people who decimated my country are still trying to perpetuate the theft for their grandchildren. THAT’s the truth of modern South Africa.

It’s highly unlikely that I will ever be able to vote ANC again in my lifetime, but I would sooner vote ANC again than ever enable Afriforum to gain more power via the DA. 🤮

Has anybody done an edit yet where he says “[my country’s name…]”? Cos that’s how I feel after that vile 🍊 💩 talked about my country 🇿🇦 . Just did our first “Who owns XYZ?” shopping where we swapped American goods for [any other country except 🇮🇱]. Vile 🍊 💩. #bringiton

Our son started grade 1 (in Cape Town), after five weeks of being on holiday with him. We took a walk on the last day of holidays and had flapjacks for breakfast. First 3 days of Grade 1 went very well so: a really great week 🙏🏾💚

One thing I didn’t realise about start of Grade 1: I was mostly OK on day one… but they only allow parents to walk in w/ their 6yo for 3 days. Today is the last day I can walk into school with him… forever 🥹. And at 6:30am I’m already a bit of a wreck over it 😢😭🫠.

Rewatched this last night for the Xth time but first in maybe 10 yrs. After “The Adventures of Mimi” tour this was the first actual MOVIE I bought on bluray in 2008 cos I loved it so much. Didn’t realise it’s 20 yrs old now 🫠. Anyway aside from one 🫢 FX shot in the beginning this is still 🔥.

Any excuse to post this photo, etc… and my first post from my (updated) bluesky account is better than most reasons I find to post this pic 🙃.
