Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 8hWhy do Bajans say “he cute”? Absence of the copula be. In African languages like Wolof, the verb “to be” doesn’t necessarily exist and can be contained in the pronoun. Dafa rafet = he/she cute 000

Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 07/10/2026Yes. I remember reading that some Native Americans hired to work in a factory had a hard time respecting the bell / capitalist time because they originally base it off of tides. How beautiful is that? 010
Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 07/10/2026We're running on a treadmill thinking we're moving forward. Can't never progress with another people's language. That's what I said in the video in Bamanankan 101
Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 07/10/2026"We don't encourage the use of African languages" "African languages are against the regulation" "I've been to 4 continents and I don't see history as beneficial to us" Some things I heard after visiting a new school in Kololi. Yeah. 201

Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 05/10/2026Anyway, admire my artistic choice in the photo. A broken watch to signify the African's relentless struggle to free ourselves from the entrapment of western time *snap fingers*. Ugh, my brain 😂😂 000

Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 05/10/2026It would sit quietly and let the plan go on as designed. It's not working anymore so it has to show who's "boss". It's not the end for us. It's the end for them. #RadicalHope #RadicalOptimism 010
Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 05/10/2026This is scary af but I want to also see the silver lining. The empire IS falling. Why do I believe this? Because it's putting tremendous effort to show how strong and influential it is. If it was and was confident that we knew, it wouldn't have to show its teeth 110
Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 04/10/2026Why do Haitians say “ak”? Retention of Wolof. In both languages ak means “and” or “with”. It is one of the rare occasions where a continental African word is also retained in form and not only in meaning and utilisation 021

Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 30/09/2026African americans do the same for they/their and, as taught by Dr. G., forms like “he book” and “she house” used to exist in the early formations of Ebonics. 100

Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 25/09/2026Deleted the post because I don't want to feed into the media avalanche against the author 000
Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 25/09/2026We've known what a.i. would be used for. To accuse us of using it and plagiarism. Random accounts on blogs or socials accuse Black authors and academics of stealing because they can't accept real A.I., i.e. African Intelligence. 022
Deby @farafinmuso.blacksky.app · 25/09/2026All authors should then have their work "analysed" by a.i. then. Besides, why don't we still understand that we don't write like a.i. a.i. writes like us. 000
