THREAD: Oh what pain our ancestors went through. “The father of modern gynecology”, James Marion Sims used African women forced into slavery for his experiments and surgeries which were performed without anesthesia.
@HistoryVille @AfricaFactsZone @FemnetProg @rhnkorg He argued that the subjects of his operations weren’t in pain enough to warrant any form of anesthesia/therapeutic treatment. His reasoning was that black people didn’t feel as much pain as whites and therefore didn’t require anesthesia during surgery. #HumanRightsViolations

THREAD @MarigaThoithi @WandiaNjoya @SadearH @johnnjenga @JKNjenga In the queue to audition, I overheard a guy in front of me tell a lady that if she didn't have a western accent chances of her being a presenter was slim. Turned out the same applied for the adverts section. Apparently I couldn't nose a last minute accent to clinch the gig.

I am in touch with the Wuhan student who exposed the 10M cash that wasn't payed to students there. Here's the feedback on what's happening there. Thread @MarigaThoithi @johnnjenga @JKNjenga @potentash @_fels1 @Olez @Waambui @C_SOI @JerotichSeii @BravinYuri
