I can never get tired of our city or this view. Love Johannesburg and Joburg’s people, it’s a place with all the possibilities and potential. 🤩❤️🌳

The way that whole "coochie-coo" gene skipped me so hard I hold babies like suspicious Tupperware containers that might leak and I try to engage toddlers in meaningful dialogue about their post-preschool exit strategy and the stability of the juice box economy 😬😑

The older you get, the more you realise your meat sack requires constant maintenance, and frankly, it is incredibly bothersome. I didn’t sign up for this level of biological admin. 😒

Books are the only magic that lets us shed the cocoon of our own subjectivity, and for a few hundred pages, I am not myself. I am seeing the world through eyes I’ve never met, living a life I’ve never known. It’s the ultimate gift of empathy. 📚

If you’re seeing any friends today that you hold dear, skip the small talk about resolutions. Ask them this instead: "What version of yourself are you stepping into for 2026, and how can I best support that person?"

My therapist asked me to name three things I'm grateful for and I said "free next day delivery, noise cancelling headphones, and the sweet embrace of the void" and apparently that's concerning but two out of three aint bad

Nationality and nationalism always felt so silly to me tbh Its just invisible spaghetti lines humans drew on maps and decided were sacred 🙃 Nothing like pledging lifelong loyalty to a shape on a globe that might look totally different in the next few decades. Go team arbitrary land blob! 🎉 woohoo

Honestly I feel the same. That sweet sweet Google money completely corrupted Mozilla. It's sad yeah... But bye Firefox 👋 www.theregister.com/2025/06/17/o...

Firefox is dead to me

Opinion: Parent company Mozilla's not my fave either

In-office days: skip breakfast, forget lunch, live on coffee and jokes. Get home: devour the fridge, the cupboards, whatever is in that weird Tupperware I didn't know we own, oh and maybe the dog food if it's crunchy enough 🐶 But hey "work-life balance", right babe? ✨

People craving fame seem to forget it's a spotlight. Your every flaw is thrown into sharp relief, even the deeply human ones, especially the human ones. I'd rather enjoy my life in peace than audition for perfection each day. Anonymity might be quiet but it's blissfully human, messy bits and all.

An autumn Sunday well spent in the beautiful Gauteng countryside. Peaceful river flowing, trees and sunshine. Just what my soul needed. 😍🌊🍂🌲☀️

Most Americans have never seen a tea cosy in the wild, and that’s a tragedy I can no longer abide. 😤🫖 Behold: the fabulous knitted tea cosy. Not just a warm hug for your teapot, but a whole vibe. British ingenuity at its most delightful. Why just make tea when your teapot can cosplay as a snail?

Many decades ago, someone had the idea to plant rows of trident maples along my neighbourhood’s streets. Every autumn in Joburg, they put on a spectacular show. Right now, their kaleidoscope of colours are incredible. 😍🍁🍂📸

It’s honestly terrifying how many people online can’t read for comprehension. And these same people are out there making decisions that affect everyone, voting, influencing, shaping the future.

White South Africans love asking each other if they're planning to emigrate? Where to, when, how soon. But how does one emigrate their soul? It’s buried here, beneath a bushwillow. This land holds my breath, my memories, and my being. I could leave with my body, but my heart would not follow.

Sometimes I wonder if certain people realise just how abrasive they come across. Like, you’re not "straight-talking" you’re just… sandpaper

Some countries have smooth edges. Everything works. Everyone obeys the rules. Life is quiet, orderly, and if we’re honest, a little dead inside.

ARM(64) for PCs felt like a sprint. Turns out it's a three-legged race and one leg's asleep. Still not trading my ARM lappy for ye olde x86 clunker.💻

You ever wonder what it was like watching Rome collapse from, say, a peaceful little village hundreds of kilometres away? Just minding your business, tending your sheep, and occasionally hearing news like, "Oh, Rome’s on fire again, is it? Shame. Pass the bread, please."

Wanting to be buried is wild. You spend your whole life draining the planet, resources, energy, vibes, and then in death, you still want a little patch of land? No thanks. Cremate me and sprinkle me somewhere inconvenient 👌
