At the park

A hero without a cape

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.

Years ago I once mentioned to a coworker at a theatre where I was interning that my boss was bi (he was out, I wasn’t doing anything I shouldn’t) and she said “Oh! He sometimes shops at the other market!”

I almost fell over laughing at the expression, and I reported the conversation to my mum later. She picked it up and would joke about it for like, YEARS after. It became a running joke in our family, the expression “He shops at the other market.”

This ended up being REALLY funny about five years later when we were trying to find a grocery store on a family road trip and ended up buying what we needed from a grocery store with a big sign out front reading BI-MART. We pulled into the parking lot and I leaned over to my mother and said, “This is the other market he shops at.”

My boyfriend’s mum once said of him “He’s not gay, he just helps out sometimes when there’s a rush.”

Scene from my much better movie

Bus Driver: Sorry, everyone. Looks like there's a bomb on the bus that will explode if the bus goes over 100 MPH.

Passengers: (Gasp in shock)

Bus Driver: It's okay, though. I'll let you off at the next sto-

Chad, the douchebag Bus Driver from the rival bus company: (Drives up in his cool new hyper fast bus)

Bus Driver: (Internally) Boy, I hate that gosh darn chad!

Chad: Oh look, it's the biggest gaybo in town. I see you're still riding around in that old clunker.

Bus Driver: Buzz off, Chad. Nobody has time for your mess.

Chad: I think they'll have plenty of time if they ride with me. My new bus is so fast that I can get everyone to their stops by hitting a constant speed of 100 MPH.

Passengers: (Oooh and aaah and leave the bus to ride on Chad's better bus)

Bus Driver: No, don't go! Gosh dang it, Chad! I know these streets better than you ever could. I bet I could beat your stinky new bus to every stop without a sweat.

Chad: Oh, really? Then I challenge you to a race. And if you lose... (Dramatic music plays) YOUR GAY!

Bomb Technician: (Over the Radio) No, don't do it. It's impossible!

Bus Driver: It's fine. I know all of the shortcuts through the city. I can beat him by just going 99 MPH.

Bomb Technician: No! I refuse to let you do it. It's too risky. Disengage now!

Captain of the Bus Company: Let him go, Dave.

Bomb Technician: But!

Captain: I said let him go. He knows these streets better than anyone else, he can do it

Bus Driver: Thanks for having faith in me, captain... I mean, father.

Captain: It's been 20 years since you last called me father. Godspeed, Son.

Bomb Technician: This is insane.

Captain: Maybe to you who has never driven a bus, but we bus drivers have a great sense of pride. And well, if it's crushed, we might as well be dead. Besides, I can never disparage a man for not wanting to look like a big gaybo.

(Bus doors close dramatically)

Bus Driver: I gonna make the wheels on this bus go round and round.

(Diplo remix of Smack My Bitch Up begins to play as both busses race off)
