Imagine leaving an imperialist military alliance you created because you’re being told you can’t spread your rancid fascist propaganda on your stupid social media app
Computer game where you’re building a tower level by level and the closer you get to heaven the harder it becomes to fight off God.
The health mechanic is “coherence” as he works to confuse the tongues of your workers and you regenerate it by employing linguists to reincorporate the language changes as quickly as possible. If coherence reaches zero then your workers start wars with each other and leave and your tower collapses.
This sign was right below this post just thought you should know
i love to read a character’s stoicism as awkwardness. yeah your posture is great and you’re mysteriously surveying the scene but it’s because you’re stiff af and don’t know how to approach anyone, right?
Her name is Theresa Kachindamoto, and she is a senior chief - political leader of a region with a population of about 900,000 people.
She didn’t run for election; she was appointed, without her knowledge, while she was living and working in a completely different part of the country. She just received a call one day telling her to come back to her childhood home, because she was in charge now.
So she did; and when she arrived, she discovered widespread sexual abuse of children. She browbeat 50 uncooperative local leaders into accepting her decision to annul all the marriages. She then fired four of them when they continued to allow children to be married off in their areas. She still faces widespread opposition from parents who consider it their right to sexually abuse their daughters if they want to; but Kachindamoto very evidently does not give a fuck, and is continuing to use political and legal means to protect children in the region.
She’s not just an anonymous do-gooder; she’s an effective political leader despite incredibly difficult circumstances. Theresa Kachindamoto.

Below the text is a picture of Theresa Kachindamoto. She is a dark skinned woman with short hair. She is outside and smiling. End ID]
got worried checking the dates on this post and seeing 2016, knowing how risky this kind of political activism is
good news: Kachindamoto is still in office, and last year (2024) she received honorary doctorates from 2 universities and was given the African Genius Award 🙏
