A few weeks ago I happened upon Dorling Kindersley's Great Sex Games in a charity shop.

Best 50p I've ever spent.
That's right - BELOVED PUBLISHERS OF CHILDHOOD REFERENCE BOOKS, DORLING KINDERSLEY are here to talk us through their favourite sex games.

"Hanky-panky picnics" and all.
Crucial to ensure that, for erotic purposes, all chair legs are completely intact.
Really?
I anticipate a fierce bidding war for the film adaptation rights.
Everybody Loves Raymond.
The references in this book are BLOWING MY MIND.
This section is called 'Fun With Feathers'.
I don't know about you, but I've been calling consensual sex "accidentally knocking the genitals as you reach them" for years.
Here we go.
"Don't mind the recorder, it's just a sexy prop."
There's something so Mark Corrigan about this game.
N.B. You'll need to ask an elderly/ancient relative if you can borrow their cassette recorder.
This next game, 'Listen To My Tape', is yet another administrative nightmare.
FORTY FIVE MINUTES?
Oh god, the admin. The endless, endless admin.
Just IMAGINE playing Frank Sinatra while you're trying to have sex. Could there be ANYTHING less erotic?
Oh wait, they've got it covered.
Really A+ section on writing 'Love Notes'.
*dial-up modem sounds*
The Four Stages Of Friendship.
*bleep-bloop R2D2 noises*
Just some great life advice.
Accidental Partridge.
Can't believe they didn't title this book 'Catalogue Of Sex Tales'.
Oh bless.
Genuinely heartwarming!
It's all been building to this.
WHAT IS HAPPENING
A bit of fun!
*Michael Buerk in 999 voice*
SO PARTRIDGE I CAN'T EVEN COPE ANYMORE.
"Draw me like one of your French girls."
Sensual asparagus gloss.
Little potatoes. LITTLE POTATOES.
Literally a recipe for disaster.
Every shopping list I've ever written ends with "papaya, champagne, lollipops, condoms"
Finally, we understand the true purpose of bagels.
Why not try humming the solo from All Along The Watchtower?"
"...lightly grasp the head of the penis with this 'spider'" is not a sentence I ever thought I'd read.
We've reached two new sections now. One called 'Duck's Bill', and the other 'Wibbling'. Maybe... maybe we deserve brexit?
If your kink is "sentences that, in or out of context, make no sense whatsoever" then this book is for you.
DO THE OTHER REASONS INVOLVE SEX? YES PROBABLY.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
🦃
OH FOR GOD'S SAKE, EVERYONE HOPEFULLY.
This book. It has broken me.
A thrilling development.

Few weeks ago, I had an informal meeting with an Indian lady while waiting for a client. They came into the country to invest in a particular product and they stumbled on the plantain chips market while in traffic in Lagos.
The plantain chips sold in traffic..

Thread..👇
They were shocked at the huge potential in the plantain chips market and they had to quickly shift their attention from the main product they were here to launch.
They began their research, drove round the city of Lagos, speaking to the sellers and buying samples of "chips"
From the little study, they estimated the amount consumed daily to be around 1m sachet during peak periods.

Early morning traffic hours, midday, rush hour traffic and late night on major roads.

Shop keeper I spoke to from Afrin. "I fled from Aleppo to Afrin. Then (after Turkey took #Afrin) everything was stolen and I lost everything and had to flee again. I want to go to Holland. Help me. There is no future in Syria"
Another civilian from Afrin claimed Turkish army is not doing anything to stop looting and stealing by groups. They just want Kurds to leave. Moreover regime dont allow Kurds from Afrin to go Aleppo. So if they want to go Aleppo they have to pay FSA groups to bring them Manbij
Than from Manbij to Qamishli. Than fly from Qamishli to Damascus and then go Aleppo. Only rich people can afford this.

Few weeks ago, a very close colleague of mine passed an information to me. This person is not flippant. He is a serious person not given to sensationalism. The message? There is a grand plot not to handover in the event the ruling party loses the elections. He mentioned names.
He told me his source. An insider in the govt that ought to know . I was shocked. I didn’t know what to make of the messsge. I told him that we should remain calm and watch as events unfold. My response was based on my experience that in plots like these, the plotters will always
Show their hands somehow, someway. They will want to test the waters. For those of us that are adept in deciphering codes and test runs of evil plots, the art of picking up these signals no matter how subtle is a craft. They just made their first move. PMB told a gathering of

So a few weeks ago something happened to friends of mine that made a tough situation that they were going through even worse. They'd gone through the tragedy of getting a fatal foetal anomaly diagnosis only last year.
The campaign was kicking off, and they went away to take a break over Easter, coming home to find one of the "Licence to Kill" Embryo posters staring in the window at them. As parents who were grieving, and also caring for a 2 year old, and working, this was just too fucking much
Thankfully the wind removed the poster from outside their door and their world was a little lighter for it. But the added stress of it forced them to make their suffering public. Not able to grieve privately the cruel campaign of the NOs forced them to make their pain public

Personally, it’s been most disheartening to watch education institutions-schools, districts, colleges, non profits, schools of ed-defend student’s right to protest now and not when campus protests were mostly Black the last few years.
Parkland students are *rightfully* being met w support, protection and resources.

Black and anti-white supremacist student protestors were met with suspensions, “free speech” fallacies and new punishments.

Because I work in, among other things, education, the media bias is actually less upsetting than the educational one.

This is one example of what it means to learn in a hostile environment. This is why students of color have to work twice as hard. Double standards cause harm.
