(Lot's of quotes for "Usurped Thrones and Relentless Fates" because unfortunately, I do have a favourite child.)
Aidah : Why would you do that?
Zarah: Because I feel guilty.
Reem : Guilt is a trick emotion. It’s put there by your parents to stop you from doing things that feel good.
Aidah : Sometimes I like to place my hands on someone’s cheeks, look into their eyes...
Aidah : ...And violently jerk their head until it snaps.
Zarah: ...That took an unexpected turn.
Reem : So did their neck.
Reem , to Zarah: If you see Aidah , give them this message *makes a neutral face*
Reem : They'll know what it means.
*later*
Zarah: oh, and Reem said to give you a message.
Zarah: *makes a neutral face*
Aidah : Oh no. The neutral face of displeasure.
Aidah : Hey, no, you stay out of this, this is between me and Reem !
Zarah: So Reem knows about this?
Aidah , walking away: No, this is between me and me!
Zarah: So what, now I’m just supposed to do everything that Reem does? What if they jump off a cliff?
Aidah : If Reem were to jump off a cliff, they would have done their due diligence regarding the height of the cliff, the depth of the water, and the angle of entry. So yes, if you see Reem jump off a cliff, by all means, jump off a cliff.
Zarah: You jump off a cliff.
Aidah : Gladly, provided Reem did first
Aidah : Oh Reem , we have a visitor!
Reem : Don't tell me it's Zarah.
Aidah : It's Zarah
Zarah: How high are you?
Aidah : Mm, I don’t know how to say it in feet.
Reem : No, they’re asking what drugs are you on.
Aidah : Oh, antidepressants, why?
From "Last Phase of a Sun"
Asura : Hopefully Yumi has learned a lesson about respecting other people's feelings.
Yumi: Oh, shut up and die Asura
Yumi: When you've been on the internet for as long as I have, you develop thick skin.
Asura : Navy blue isn't your color.
Yumi: Navy blue brings out my eyes you prick! *Chases after Asura *
Yumi: Wendy, we're hungry!
Marion: Wendy! What's for dinner?
Asura : We're hungry, Wendy!
Wendy, frying a bottle of ketchup over the stove: *screams*

Father: Everything’s fine, Hana.

Don’t Forget to Play in the Rain - Day 10 . . . . 26July2017
Today is a day to process, communicate and play! I started the day by sleeping in till 7, then had breakfast with Heather before she left for 2 days to escape to Harry Lemon Island, a small Island that takes all of 15 minutes to walk around. (I’m still waiting for pics from this place ; )
I then continued to process all I had seen and heard from the day before. David aka Wafu, always says, “Investigate before you Invest.” It was time for me to do just that. What could I do to help these two children? Was it appropriate for me to offer assistance? How would the parents feel about my offer of assistance? Would I be the only one helping or would others step forward? What kind of assistance would they need? What would the cost be? These and many more questions filled my mind, it was time to try to find some answers.
Once Heather left I was able to catch a ride to Java House, one of the best places to find decent Wifi so I could communicate. It had been a few days since I had messaged Ron or my parents. I was also able to post a couple quick FB updates, including posting the pictures of the two children who were still pulling at my heart.
All too soon my ride back to the Guest House came. As I entered the compound where the Wafula home and ROWAN Guest House are, I discovered the children had returned from school. While David and Aidah headed back out, I was able to remain with the children. We danced, we sang, we made frozen banana coins, we played . . . and then the rain began. The rule is, by 6 p.m. each evening the doors and windows are to be shut to keep the mosquitos out. I followed this rule, but I did not go back into the guest house. Instead the children and I embraced the rain! We continued to run and play outside in the rain! I can only imagine what Martha (a woman who helps around the house) was thinking as this white woman was running around in the rain with the children. In America I am used to people saying, “Get out of the rain, you will catch a cold!” But on this night I was in Uganda, so Martha said, “Get out of the rain before you catch malaria!” Yes, this was a reality check, I was definitely a world away, with very different risks and consequences!
So here I was, even in the midst of witnessing illness, injury and despair, still finding time to play, to dance in the rain. Yes there are people all around us who need our help. However, we need to find that balance between serving and reviving our souls. Don’t ever give up those things that bring you joy! Don’t forget to keep playing in the rain! Even in the midst of serving people : )
Cheers,
“The Mom”

The best memes from the hilarious Uganda vs Kenya social media war @Kilimani

The best memes from the hilarious Uganda vs Kenya social media war @Kilimani
Ugandan, fools with an ever incoming-Outgoing president.
“Ugandans are becoming the latest challengers to Kenyans on social media war,” Kenyas are proving reasons why they are champions in the game.
For a week now Kenyans and Ugandans are in a ‘bloody’ war enclosed in Kenyan Facebook group “Kilimani Mums and Dads Uncensored (Original)”
It is an extremely abusive, demeaning, somehow hilarious and somewhat unfortunate battle of words.
It is said this battle of words started when a Ugandan ‘slay queen’ abused a Kenyan lady on sex related matters. What started as an attack from an individual has since degenerated in to a Social Media war of two ‘friendly nations’.
The group (Kilimani Mums and Dads Uncensored (Original) is over 90 percent Kenyan) who never took this issue lightly as they quickly stood up to defend their own against external aggression.
When the few Ugandans in the group realized that they were under siege, they retreated home to Ugandan Facebook friends and ‘recruited forces’, renown especially for verbal artilary. (Unfortunately Stella Nyanzi was busy shifting)
Immediately, several Ugandans requested to join the group. The few Ugandans already on the group approved as many forces as possible. They jammed the group and temporarily shut down Kenyans
The Ugandans commander declared that they had taken over the group (first hand aggression), a humiliation that annoyed the Kenyans and came back full swing
It was now a matter of nationalism as both Ugandans and Kenyans dissed and belittled each other alike from sex to leadership, English competence, beauty, civilization and general development. As it got hotter inside there, it became so abusive. The battle expanded to Twitter.
On Twitter, it is trending under the hashtag #KenyavsUganda. The twitter war is being won by Kenyans simply because Ugandans are not so interested or diehards of tweeps.
Several Ugandans have already admitted defeat by their neighbors which many quietely blame on a rotten govt which can’t be defended
Nicholas Kalungi had this to say; “Final Verdict : Kenya 5 – 1 Uganda. It is a humbling defeat. But again, why would Ugandans on FB start a war of words in a purely Kenyan zon?
Kenyans on Social Media have in the past humbled Rwanda, South Africa, Ghana and Nigeria on FB and Twitter. They can diss, abuse but also have facts.”

I guess I should update about things that’ve happened to me since I left tumblr almost 4 years ago(?) :
Graduated with a bachelors with honours in fine arts after struggling even after taking a gap year prior so yay for pulling thru.
Got heavily into makeup and started to post semi regularly on ig (@/aidurh) my creative looks especially around Halloween. I occasionally get noticed by indie brands and brand owners and I’m like gasp thank you pls send me makeup pr pls. Jk jk if only I wasn’t lazy to film and upload to tiktok.
Got diagnosed with a form of thyroid cancer but thankfully it wasn’t anything too serious! It was a take out the tumour and bam I’m healed situation cause the cancer wasn’t aggressive and hadn’t spread to my lymph nodes. All this while I thought I was very fat with an ugly double chin but ahaha it was cancer. So pls check any weird lumps you have!!!
I became an aunt recent and now I’m almost full time baby sitting my baby nephew. I thought I wasn’t going to get along with babies cause even when my cousins had their kids, I showed zero interest. Suddenly my sis has a baby boy and I’m like omg precious baby I must protect.
I’m slowly doing stuff for my mental health after procrastinating for the longest time like getting on anti depressants and settling a proper sleep schedule which has helped me tremendously.
Oh got heavily into manhwas esp bl manhwas. If you stumble upon my twitter… honestly it’s just nothing but me talking about satosugu or bl. It’s embarrassing. Thanks to that I haven’t really kept up with animanga as much. I think the last anime I sat down and watched was jjk s1? I just stick to reading manga lol rip.
I bought my first anime fig not too long ago and it was a gojo nendroid.. and that began the start of my mini collection of figurines and gojo shrine. Yes I’m a gojo fucker. I love that little shit so much. If he dies at the end of jjk, I’m going to end gege myself.
