"This is where mass surveillance comes in. While it is unreasonable to assume that everything you do in public will be kept private from prying eyes, there is a real expectation that when you travel throughout town over the course of a day—running errands, seeing a doctor, going to or from work, attending a protest—that the entirety of your movements is not being precisely tracked, stored by a single entity, and freely shared with the government." #MassSurveillance #VumaCam #Vumatel #SouthAfrica

The art room at the school where I teach. It's not normally so dark - I switched off the lights to get the full effect of the window.

A float portrays Semitic people as black dogs labeled with the word "HASS" (hate), and as a woman in keffiyeh with a cartoonishly large nose on a float at this year's #Carnevale parade in #Cologne.

#Germans feel emboldened to parade the streets wearing #RedFace.

#Germany has attacked #SouthAfrica's genocide case against #Israel at the #ICJ more severely than any other nation. To show the world that they wont budge from their commitment to #genocide in #Palestine, they publicly celebrate the genocide of #indigenous nations.

South Africa asks Taiwan to move embassy out of capital

> South Africa asked Taiwan to move its liaison office out of the administrative capital, Pretoria, in order to emphasize the countries' "non-diplomatic" ties.

We had some bad weather this past weekend in South Africa.
It’s supposed to be spring.

Only in South Africa!
Spar is a major supermarket chain in South Africa, Stilbaai is a small town.
Bunny chow is a fast food dish consisting of a hollowed-out loaf of white bread filled with curry.
Holontplof loosely translated means “Arse Explosion”
I doubt if anywhere else in the world a supermarket would sell fast food described “Arse Explosion”

South Africa is having European winter conditions in spring at the moment.
The situation is not helped by it being a 4 day weekend for many. 24 September is a public holiday.
Many people are stuck on the roads on the way to the coast. This is becoming a real emergency.
This is a photo taken on Van Reenens Pass about halfway between Johannesburg and Durban. We are not geared for this.

The discovery of the world’s oldest human footprint in South Africa profoundly connects us to our ancient past. Over 150,000 years ago, someone walked across the Earth, leaving a trace that has survived millennia. It’s a reminder of our shared journey as a species—how we’ve adapted, endured, and thrived. These footprints echo not just history but the resilience and continuity of human life.
