"This ruling encourages diverse, bold and authentic filmmaking. Rafiki walked so many stories could run.”

Kenya’s Court of Appeal has overturned its decision to ban Rafiki, the groundbreaking 2018 drama that depicts a lesbian romance between two Kenyan women.

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) banned the film in April 2018 due to its “homosexual theme and clear intent to promote lesbianism in Kenya contrary to the law”. The decision came after director Wanuri Kahiu declined to give in to demands to change the ending, which the board deemed too positive.

While reading the Vulgate Cycle, the author kept measuring distances with vague and unclear units of measurement like ‘a Welsh league’ ‘a French league’ and ‘a Roman league’ and I wondered what the difference between these units of measurement was. It turns out that during that period in history, a league was the approximate distance a human could walk in an hour. 1.5 to 5 miles. Vaguest most useless form of measurement imaginable. And now you have to wonder what the average walking speed difference is between Welsh and French people. I feel like the French are slower.

you cannot make a post about how men put women in certain boxes without someone going "but what if i love the box? what if i've decided that it's comfortable in the box? are you gonna tell me i'm not ALLOWED to like the box? not very feminist of you to police a woman's decisions... maybe you'd be less ugly and miserable if you stopped talking about the box LMFAO #Girlboss #MyBox<3"

#and its like. 'what if ive decided its comfortable to be in the box' it is always going to be more comfortable to be in the box #they will reward you for staying in the box and punish you for trying to leave it #that doesnt mean the box is like. a good place to be — @butchfaith

We've upgraded from weather *watches* to weather *warnings* for most of the North Island, for both rain and wind. Some areas have an orange warning and some areas have a red warning.

It is far better to be prepared than to be dismissive, storms like this are no joke.

Red and orange warnings have been issued across the North Island, and the Harbour Bridge may close, as the path of Cyclone Vaianu becomes cl

my family wasn't this strict, but in some sects of buddhism you're not allowed to eat the "five pungent vegetables", onions garlic shallots leeks and umm chives i think, really any of those kind of vegetables. probably some monk ages ago was tired of onion farts stinking up the temple. anyways, one time my brother made a soup using all five of them. he said, "one sip of this, and you'll be reincarnated as a flea."

Stop roleplaying colonialism with a leftist coat of paint and give land back to its fucking Natives.

Fighting someone in lighter armor than you fucking sucks because they're always like "Ohhh chase me! Chase me!" Like fuck you man you wanna fight come here and fight I'm not running a marathon just to get to you I thought you were here to show off how cool and good at fighting you are, right now you're just trying to weaponize Being Annoying

the-punforgiven

To put this another way: I am fully aware that in heavy armor I will run out of stamina before you do in a chase, and I'm not going to tire myself out before the fight even begins like I wasn't born yesterday buddy this strat isn't gonna work
