Hi! I’m Moya (it means Shea Butter in Acoli) and this seems like a cool place to meet people. A few major interests are in Cybersecurity, Non European History, Postcolonial Literature, Anthropology, Leather-craft and Open Source DIY movements. #blacksky #transsky #lgbt #booksky #techsky

It’s hard to say. There are quite a few models on my mother’s side of the family, some high-fashion. I’m decent-looking but outmugged by a mile.

Who is objectively the most beautiful person in your family? Be honest if someone is outmugging you!

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Making an unnecessary journey, taking risks on treacherous roads because I want to buy a voluptuous bottle of wine tonight

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

Brasil, Serbia and Bulgaria having elections today, Israeli elections on tuesday and then US midterms a week after that… Lord.

I tried to use google translate (I know, i’m sorry!) to get an english version of the Nirayāvaliyā Sutta (Jain canon) after finding a Hindi version (original is Ardhamagadhi) to see if it’s truly the source of the Jainist belief that Seniya (Bimbisãra), king of Magadha’s Haryanka Dynasty

All just so I can cite a proper source for notes on the subject that will likely never be shared with a soul. Taking on South Asian dynastic history as a hobby/hyperfixation when I am neither South Asian nor understand any South Asian languages was definitely… something. Lmao.

Digging through countless texts (including linked book), some of which mention this as Jain canon but never send me straight to the source, has been fun to look through but incredibly frustrating at the same time. Whatever, moan complete. bsky.app/profile/luga...

- committed suicide rather than being murdered by his son Kūniya (Ajatasattu) as is stated in the Buddhist Mahāvamsa. Came back with nothing, only for me to find an English translation of a Dutch translation of a Hindi translation of an Ardhamagadhi original.

Cleaning the house tonight like I have a guest coming over but it’s a professional cleaner. Why am I paying someone just to come to a spotless house? 😭

Discussed the Ash Dykes expedition with a white guy who told me I was naïve for believing he could call for help if needed. People think Africans can’t do anything, lord.

Also, the amount of people who know neither the difference between The Republic of Congo and The Democratic Republic of Congo nor the difference between Eastern and Western DRC and think militias will catch him like he’s in the Kivu regions… lmao

Requesting copies of my documents from three different countries and they’re all pissing me off in unique ways

C'est certainement un honneur d'être condamné par un antisémite

Mobilisation du 17 octobre : le président du Rassemblement national, Jordan Bardella, a estimé que "seuls les professionnels du chaos" étaient dans les rues samedi et pas "la France du travail", alors que de vives tensions ont éclaté en marge de plusieurs cortèges.

A famous pastor and his fam in Uganda are getting grilled. I have memories from being their neighbour that could add to the fire but I love peace

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Planning a snorkelling experience with sharks next year (out in the sea) and remembering how terrifying it was just to watch them with the protection of a metal cage. If I die I die ✌🏽

Not happy about how exhausted i’ve been feeling lately, especially with a blood donation scheduled tomorrow.
