History Will Judge Us By Our Social Media Timelines

Views When the story of Zimbabwe in these years is finally written, I suspect it will not be remembered for what we suffered, but for how lightly we took it. The record will not be one of famine, mismanagement, and squandered opportunities. It will be one of hashtags, punchlines, and endless forwarding. We will not be immortalised as a people crushed under unbearable hardship, but … Continue reading History Will Judge Us By Our Social Media Timelines

MIND, MYTH AND MADNESS

Pedophiles, Patreons, and the Price of Public Shame

Views I sit far from the stage where this drama plays out. I watch from a very tiny little town in Zimbabwe. The internet makes distance feel small. A camera, a stream, a hashtag, and a life is shredded. I do not pretend to be an expert. I know what I see. I know what it feels like when a crowd decides a man is … Continue reading Pedophiles, Patreons, and the Price of Public Shame

REALITY BITES, REFLECTION SUNDAY

Where the clock ends

Kumbirai Thierry Nhamo

Kumbirai Thierry Nhamo is a social justice activist, writer and blogger.

If no one ever died, the word “life” would be meaningless.
It would not even exist.
We only name something when there is also something it is not.
Light means nothing without darkness.
Heat means nothing without cold.
You only know a thing because you have known its opposite.

SYSTEMS ON TRIAL

The Myth Of Infinite Growth

The tide of optimism about technology has swelled to a roar in the past few years. Every month brings news of a faster chip, a smarter machine or a grand vision of AI solving our problems. The prevailing creed assumes innovation has no bounds, and that each breakthrough simply opens new frontiers. But this bright faith in endless growth collides with a more sober reality. … Continue reading The Myth Of Infinite Growth

MIND, MYTH AND MADNESS

Piece of Shit

Some days I wake up and think,“Damn, I might be the problem.” Not in a villain arc kind of way, no. Just in that quiet, disappointing way you forget to reply to someone who loves you.Or you said you’d change, and didn’t.Or you left your undried laundry in the wardrobe for three days and now it smells like betrayal. I’m not evil. Just… inconsistent.A decent … Continue reading Piece of Shit

REFLECTION SUNDAY

How Much Of My Life Is Truly Mine?

Kumbirai Thierry Nhamo

I ask myself this a lot. Some days, I feel like I’m just watching my life happen. Like I’m a passenger, not the one driving.

I wake up each morning to the same routine. Not because I want to, but because I have to. Wake up, work, worry. There’s always something. Many bills, food, family problems. Everything needs attention. Everything costs money.

REALITY BITES

Underpaid

I send invoices like prayers.
Gentle. Hopeful. Read at 3:14am and never replied to.

They say freelancing is freedom.
Yeah the kind of freedom where you’re free to starve creatively.
Free to chase clients like you’re the debt collector and the therapist.
Free to do five people’s jobs for the price of exposure and a thank-you emoji.

Reflection

Blank Page

The page isn’t really blank.
It’s just staring at me.
Judging me.
Waiting for brilliance I swore I had at 2am but can’t find now that the sun’s up and my coffee’s gone cold.

Travel Plans

What are your future travel plans? I hadn’t really thought about it, to be honest.Travel felt like something other people planned. I was just surviving deadlines. Then one night, I found this Czech YouTuber. No fake influencer energy. Just raw clips of daily life in Prague—trams, moody streets, bread that looks like it means something.Now I want to go. Not for tourist spots. I just … Continue reading Travel Plans
