Blogging Can Be Hard....even if You love Writing

Blogging Can Be Hard….even if You love Writing

I keep doing this. I don’t know how people get consistent with their blogging…actually, scrap that. I do know. They work at it….HARD. When you love writing as much as I do, there really should be no excuse for not being consistent. I get ideas I want to write about popping into my head a hundred times a day but I let stuff get in the way. I keep telling myself, if I could just get to that laptop,…

ok like i get why “not adhering to a standard of formality” is one of the most traditional ways to evaluate scams but it was really nutty seeing, for weeks perhaps months, a variety of very well-intended people making it absolutely clear that they specifically were not interacting with palestinian fundraisers because they didn’t meet a certain tumblr-normative standard of discourse, ie ‘please don’t scroll by or you’ll doom my family’ is engagement-bait or whatever you’d call it, people are explicitly begging for money, many of these bloggers have clearly only have tumblr accounts to solicit donations, and so on. i don’t think it’s hopelessly naive to be like well yes. duh. this is what it looks like to show up on a website you’ve never used before trying to raise money to spirit your family out of gaza. this is secondary to what appears to have been an explicit backlash against palestinian gofundmes over the last week or so, tho i think of a piece with it: i saw a couple of people making nigerian prince jokes about the whole thing. it’s interesting that obviously low fluency in english and clearly distinct customs of address and formality are taken as tokens of scams as opposed to the natural result of coming into contact with someone from a different country and culture. tho i guess it comes as no surprise that scam awareness takes the shape of xenophobia as opposed to any form of investigation. this doesn’t really matter it just has been pissing me off for as long as the watch out for scams stuff has been going on. of course watch out for scams. the first 2-3 people to message me fundraising were, as far as i know, scammers. but my god not with those particular blunt instruments!

Varying colours of Vespa Italian scooters including a red Vespa that could’ve given Pixar’s LUCA and Signor many more reasons to banter! You see, the destination for this pioneering bike exhibition was the Signature Beyond Art Gallery perched on 107 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos…
