I find it so hypocritical when people are quick to correct grammar but never correct ngeli. I say “wababas” and “kale katoto” all the time and nobody ever corrects me, but the second I forget the apostrophe in “I’m,” suddenly all the grammar police wamefika.

I find you guys very annoying.

I know I could just ask Google, but no, I’m asking Reddit.

I don’t really like music. I’ve never intentionally put on music, and I don’t even have any music apps. I mostly listen to audiobooks and podcasts.

But since Drake has released 3 albums and everyone keeps talking about it, does that mean he released like 20 new songs?

lost a friend to suicide this week , and I honestly don’t know how I feel. I usually call people while walking, and this is someone I talked to weekly. I haven’t seen the body yet. I’m avoidant, and I feel like I’m just avoiding it. Part of me is still in disbelief. It feels like he’s just away somewhere and will call me later.

At the same time, I think what he did was selfish. According to the police, it was because of financial strain. On the day of his death, he had been arrested because of debts at work and was fired because the police came to his place of work. I’m very angry because I feel like that was not a good enough reason to do it. You could have gotten another job. You had skills.

I’m also in charge of the funeral finances from friends and workmates, and the mum is making me even more angry. Ni Waluhya, and ooh those people have some stupid traditions. I’m so frustrated. According to them, someone who committed suicide is buried at night. He was supposed to be buried today, but they postponed it, and now he can’t be buried in their kakamega. He’ll be buried at Lang’ata Cemetery instead.

I know we shouldn’t talk badly about the dead, but I’m so disappointed in him. It was not even that much money. We could have figured it out. He was 24, had no kids, and I feel like a 200k debt was payable.

I also feel like I should not be angry Idk what he was going through.

If this comes off as transphobic, I’m really sorry ,that’s not my intention. I was watching the Met Gala and noticed the actress who plays Jules in Euphoria (Idk her name), as well as Alex Consani, both have very long hair. I’m not sure if it’s extensions or natural, so I was wondering ,do people take any medication to grow their hair that long, or does it just happen naturally if you don’t cut it?

Also, I’m not white, so I’m not sure if hair type plays a role in how long it can grow.

I need to rant, but I’m not about to tell my friends that my relative is a witch, so I’m taking this to Reddit. It’s a long post, bear with me.

So my aunt (of course from my dad’s side) has been found with snakes under her bed. My dad has 11 siblings. Most of them have bought their own land or moved to the city, so when my grandma died, my aunt from Mombasa moved into her house. Kulikuwa na ka mvurugano because traditionally, the homestead belongs to the last born son. Daughters aren’t supposed to stay in their mother’s house.

My dad is the firstborn, so he went to talk to her and ask if she could move out. Wueh ,he was chased away na panga, shouting and crying that they want to kill her. My mum told him to leave that shamba issue alone ,people die over those things. That was like five years ago.

Fast forward to this year. My uncle (the lastborn) wants to build his house, but my aunt amekatilia that spot. She’s telling him to build near the river, yet he’s supposed to build in the homestead.

Apparently, my uncle went to one of those churches with drums, and he was told he’s stagnating in life because his sister has put his money in a pot under the bed. So he goes home and tells my aunt he wants to “clean” his mother’s house.

Yoh.

Under the bed there’s a python and a cobra. One inside a pot, the other wrapped in bedding. There’s also a dog’s skull, some money, and papers in the pot. He takes everything and burns it.Mind you my aunt ni mama kanisa ,she goes to church twice a week.

Next thing, my aunt is calling my dad saying they’ve stolen her money. Kidogo, the family group chat is full of videos of the whole thing. Then we’re removed from the group ati “watu wakubwa tu handle it.”

I’m atheist, so I don’t even know how to process this. My aunt isn’t rich—she’s struggling financially. She has one kid who dropped out of school. I'm wondering how was she benefiting if it worked.

Now my dad is being told, as the firstborn, he’s the one who should go evict her. My mum is completely against it.

Sahii, all I know is if my dad makes one small mistake, it’s “familia yenu ni wachawi.”I can already hear my mum.

And two years ago, I stayed with this same aunt when she was sick. Now I’m just there thinking ,those snakes were in that house.what if they walked on mi😭

I’m one minute away from cutting everyone off.

I’m listening to this guy who’s even ready to fight over it , he claims William Ruto will be re-elected by tea and coffee farmers because a kilo that used to sell for KSh 50 is now going for KSh 160, and he says tomato farmers are doing better too.I though it was due to inflation.Are you making more profit this year compared to previous years?
