So I went to Cuba

Friends and countrymen, I come to you deep within the throes, nay, the recesses, of a holiday hangover. I mean, I’m really going through it. Never have I ever been on a holiday so divine that even when I came back, the ghosts of good times past still haunted me. Sure, Greece was amazing – […]

on disappointment

I feel far too tired to comment on Black Panther today, but hopefully during the week, Emmanuel, I’ll have the energy to write a thesis about it. Because that’s what it must be, really. A thesis.

Big Little Lies poster - Akello

Series Review: Big Little Lies

If there is a series you should watch next if you haven’t already, it’s Big Little Lies. Basically Reese Witherspoon was tired of women always looking like they don’t have the solutions every time they ask what the solution should be (even though they know what it is, because, in her words, have you ever […]
