""We danced otenga, dance of the shoulders
for our women are winnowed like fine millet,
when they dance dodo, the feminine dance,
we count our cows to the last village of Yimbo!"" — Jan 19, 2019 09:14PM

""Many word-processing applications automatically make superscripts of -nd, -rd, -st, or -th after a number. But the convention in legal writing is to leave these suffixes on the baseline. So change the settings to avoid all superscripts with ordinals."

“Countries rush to war thinking it is the quickest, easiest solution to conflict, only to find themselves still entrenched years later, suffering more losses than they expected and asking themselves, bewildered, "How did we get here?" There is no "winning" a war.”

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

“I did not fully understand the havoc that war wreaks on communities. Yes war kills-I knew that-but that is only part of its destructive path. War makes widows and orphans. War cuts off arms and legs and rips emotional wounds that never fully heal. War drives people from their homes-in this case, hundreds of thousands-and dooms them to lives of poverty and displacement. ”
