A labour of love. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I read, watched, listened widely just so I could articulate some of the things I’ve been pondering for months! ❤️ substack.com/@hellobukola/no…

Trying to get this sub out by the feast of St Joseph the Worker. It’s my first long form essay that references him extensively as husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus and his role as model of faith. Still feeling very hopeful about my ETA, thank you for all your prayers🥺❤️

Everyone is so rich rich that an extra £30 off from Asda is not good enough for them. Wow England, land of the rich. What is cost of living crisis

Forcing myself to read things in French when I can read them in English is really doing wonders to my brain.

On a literary level it is simply brilliant. The metaphors are rigorous and striking. The arguments are solid. But gosh, the feeling? SO SO SO much feeling. It was Pamilerin Jacob who asked me to read The Mystics and he lowekey changed the game for me.

📌 A very essential read! It teaches discipline and how that discipline shapes how one loves. It teaches one the ability to exercise restraint in both sexual desires & material pursuits. The persistent prayers of his mother, Saint Monica, played a profound role in his life.

If you're a h*rny Christian girl (will not be explaining further but amorawatabarirawa), you should read St Augustine's Confessions. It is remarkably rich and it is so humbling to see how someone who loved God so deeply was able to navigate the tensions of sensual desire.

This is how Brazilians overcame barriers to vote President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to victory.

As someone who works in Oxford street, I hate this idea! Terrible for people who need accessibility and cannot walk long distances. Also Christmas time is going to be HELL!

🚨 NEW: Oxford Street is now officially pedestrianised and this was the LAST bus to travel down the street. History has been made 🚌 🇬🇧

as a student of literature, i find no attraction to the insistence on a singular interpretation of romeo & juliet. sontag warned us against this philitinism, even so to allow a functional mode of understanding. tragedy can be subverted, including its ugliness.

« Coupure d'électricité, c'est supportable. » Va dire ça en face aux gens qui ont perdu un membre de leur famille faute d'électricité dans les hôpitaux.

J’ai été en Afrique et j’ai jamais dû aller chercher l’eau. Coupure d’électricité c’est supportable. De toute manières ça va également arriver en Europe et ça va être terrible !

may we never be too big to self analyze because so much would be avoided if you thought about your own ideas critically as much as you thought about the ideas of others

Nothing is quite as empowering as profoundly rejecting anything that might insidiously convince you that you are a perpetual victim and a passive participant in your own life. Reject that narrative with vehemence. I tell my 20 girls this all the time.

I know language evolves, but the historical context of the term “maxxing” will never stop me from cringing when I see people casually using it in everyday lingo.

The same thing people did to that poster who commented on Jane Austen’s work. You guys are just too mean! Let’s learn to encourage dialogue and different interpretations. Even if you think someone is wrong, there’s a way to say it without calling them out of their name.

I keep saying that you people have become way too comfortable being cruel to women. Doesn’t matter how you dress it up, you’re simply cruel and that it’s ALWAYS directed at women is a real problem. You should unpack that.
