In Kenya they are called the ”clothes of dead white people”. If only it were so. Instead it is the ”clothes of white people who get tired of their clothes, buy new, and in a misguided attempt to feel better donate their old clothes to African nations”. Devastating for countries trying to manufacture their own clothes.
”Here in East Africa, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan and Burundi have been trying to phase out imports of secondhand clothing and shoes over the last year, saying the influx of old items undermines their efforts to build domestic textile industries. The countries want to impose an outright ban by 2019.”

Morgonfundering. Låt säga att man vill bli krönikör för en tidning. Tips om hur man bör angripa detta? Ska man skicka en ”ansökan”; ska man flirta på Twitter; eller ska man räkna med att det bara är personer som blir tillfrågade som blir krönikörer? Olika för olika tidskrifter? Jag har inte ens en specifik tidskrift i åtanke, bara tänker ”högt”.
Uhm. Creating surveys 101: How you phrase the question will influence the response...

@grishund Asjobbigt. Mitt trick har varit att ha ett Bank-ID på iPhone och ett på iPad, så att jag alltid kan logga in via ett av dem.

@Slacktivisten Tydligen vanlig benämning på fransk bulldog i vissa delar av USA. Ser ut som en fladdermus i ansiktet, låter som en gris.

Just as trauma and depression can physically change your brain, so can being in a position of power.

@UIE Thankfully this was mentioned: ”It’s also important to understand that in some cases, friction can actually be a good thing.” 👏
Blev just intervjuad av BBC om DickPicLocator. Än är det lite vågor. På måndag är jag dessutom på scen av samma anledning. För övrigt, BBC imponerar genom att vara pålästa, genuint nyfikna och ha relevanta frågor. Tänka sig =)
