Oliver Tambo, born on this day in 1917, was a South African anti-apartheid politician and revolutionary who served as President of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1967 to 1991.

In 1943, Tambo, along with Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu, founded the ANC Youth League, with Tambo becoming its first National Secretary and a member of the National Executive in 1948. The Youth League proposed a change in the tactics of the anti-apartheid movement, advocating boycotts, civil disobedience, strikes, and non-collaboration.

In 1960, Tambo fled South Africa due to political persecution, living in exile in north London for thirty years. From London, he supported and helped organize the ANC in the fight against apartheid from a distance. On December 13th, 1990, Tambo returned to South Africa and was elected National Chairperson of the ANC.

Even if Christianity is correct and there is a hell, I find eternal hellfire more appealing than a lifetime of subjugation to the American fundamentalist crowd and their ilk.

Woke up at around 1 am, tried to fall back asleep but ended up waking up a second time at around 3 am. agony-wholesome

I can not remember a night in the recent past where I didn't wake up at least once in the middle of the night, I wish I could just sleep a full 8 hours straight but I never can.

lol the manager from my old studio finally saw one of my clients posting about my new place and hit me up being salty af about it. I don't have any contract with them, i dont have a noncompete, all of my clients were my own, the only time they provided clients to me was to call me in to produce something which they usually passed the expense on to the client and I was providing a service. Idk why tf they think they own me as an engineer but I knew they were gonna be like this about it.

how did it take me until now to realize how obvious it is that nanami is in love with utena? this is like the 6th time i've watched the egg episode, it's so immediately obvious

like, in the episode where she says she prefers girls she starts blushing when utena touches her and utena gets a rose frame shoujo runup from nanami's pov. it's not subtle

It's almost as if the Israel-Hamas conflict is military industrial complex, and I, unlike other users on this site it appears, appreciate that there is more military industrial nuance to the situation.

Hexbear went down for 5 minutes, preventing me from posting about cute boys, but in the meantime I saw one on the frontpage of Twitch, so we're good

He was trying on different costumes for Halloween, and one of them was an American cop, he pretented to blackmail the audience for subs.

Then this next outfit was prefaced with "what does this have to do with Halloween? Absolutely nothing"

I started a new run on FTL with the zoltan b since if i beat the flagship i would get the mantis ship.

Zoltan b is more fun than zoltan a, the double ion weapons are way better at dealing with 1 shield ships than the leto from A and it can actually deal with 2 shield ships.

I got a rockmen from a dlaver and made him the captain, it took me until the end of sector 2 to get 1 shield because i thought it was like the stealth ship where you have to buy it from a store.

I had a lot of scrap in sector 3 so i got a slug and i saved a mantis so i decided to get both a transporter and a mind control to board ships, its pretty strong so far. If i win i unlock 2 ships (mantis a and zoltan c) so im going to try to play smart and dont try to suicide trying to get another ship(unless its crystal maybe)

live-tucker-reaction The 90s were the best decade, South Africa 1990-1994 might be the only black spot
