Sudan Solidarity Draw. What does that mean? 

Sudan means that it is essential to educate ourselves about Sudanese culture. Our Sudanese host will tell us about Sudan; a Sudanese poet will read her poetry; we will be immersed in Sudanese culture. 

Solidarity means that all the funds we will raise will go to Sudanese families, mutual aid campaigns ans community led initiatives in Sudan.

Draw means that those who want will draw from Sudanese pictures, and we will post their art on our account to raise awareness about Sudan.

President Ramaphosa Affirms LGBTQI+ Rights in SONA Delivering his SONA on Thursday, President Ramaphosa emphasised that South Africa must stay true to its values, including LGBTQI+ equality.

With the US regime now attacking South Africa for daring to try to reverse the legacy of apartheid, and the cynical pinkwashing of Israel's crimes in Gaza, it's great to see South Africa's Prez standing up explicitly for #LGBTQ rights, (thanks to the advocacy of South African activists like #Iranti)

The cover of the book Parable of the Sower.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
