You never fully recover from CoVid19. I have now been on some form of physical and psychological pain since December 2020. I regularly feel like far less than the man I was when I went into hospital. The cold has totally added new layers of suffering I wasn’t expecting. 🙏🏾

I have now been on blood thinners for 6 months. I can’t afford to keep having CT scans at $300 a pop. Financially the pressure on my family and business has been huge. It has affected my kids in a very bad way. My mind isn’t what it used to be etc etc. this is just the truth.

I stopped paying medical aid in 2019 when the RTGS UsD ban happened and it stopped making sense. Shortfalls etc. I was healthy then and rather use my money to buy fertilizers and stock. 😂. I wasn’t wise. I didn’t see Covid comin, when it did I didn’t think it would get me. 😢

When you come off the ventilator after a near death experience with Covid some serious issues then arise:
1) chunks of memories are temporarily lost. (Kids names. Experiences. Where you live)
2) your muscles wasted away. I was under for 2 weeks. I left hospital unable to walk

3) the indignity of being unable to use the toilet 🚽 or cleaning oneself.
4) your brain 🧠 is totally disconnected from your body. Eg: I often feel like I can lift my baby daughter but I can barely lift 5kgs. She 25kgs.
5) I came out on over 20 tablets and now have diabetes

(The diabetes brought on coz of a anti auto immune steroid called Dexthamethazone that basically stops your body immune system from turning on your lungs .)

6) my throat has not recovered from ventilator. I can barely talk and when I do it’s painful beyond measure.

If you boss is paying for $2000 per month billboard on Borrowdale road to advertise you ONLINE store, (despite google ads, Facebook pixels etc) that company has lost already. #StayWoke $2000 on FB is serious conversion power from real customers. Billboards are a waste of money.

Then if you just press “Boost” on FB and think you are advertising you are also foolish and flushing your money down the drain. If you are not using the business ad manager with pixel information and offline conversation you are flushing money down the toilet. #staywoke

Getting likes on your page is useless. Don’t pay for it. Let FB find you loom alike audiences from real customers. Boosting you post will get you every kid in Budaz and ChiTown liking your post for expensive suits when you need to be talking to their brother’s wife in town kubasa

the problem with using Machines to generate ads is this:
1) If regularly search for things like "treatment for damaged hair" which a lot of women of colour do... the algorithms AI start to profile YOU! "Smart" ads will then look for images to serve YOU with possible solutions...

So the agency that does buying for Uniliver will have space on sites like Clicks to serve "smart ads" that are automatically generated to be personalised for a shopper. This is why we generally have the same screenshot of the racist ad coz it was served to a particular person...

You can sort of tell with the White text on Black on a zoomed-in hair picture which I am almost 100% sure will be a picture VERY VERY similar to the person who viewed this particular combination. The problem is AI is currently VERY VERY racist as it's trained on predominately...

In the last week I have received 5 different messages, at different times, from different international numbers from 5 different organizations claiming to be the OFFICIAL #ZimbabweanLivesMatter “Team”. Each time it’s to be invited to contribute to various zoom meetings etc...😖

This reminded me of the #ThisFlag moment when we started getting invited to Jozi to attend meetings for a “Hashtag “ I had helped create, answering to a “team” of elders who had appropriated it as their own. This led to the huge disaster that even led to a failed presidential bid

I totally understand the need for “whats next” and “way forward” etc etc but i strongly believe we don’t need online “hashtags” to gain unauthorized, not-voted-for secretariats and gate keepers who patent the struggle and take themselves too seriously.
