#Tyla may have scooped her first #Grammy for Best African Music Performance this year, but wherever her career may take her, the Johannesburg native isn’t forgetting her roots. Stashed inside her handbag? A hefty bag of Super Maize Meal for making pap. trib.al/NYTxhUD

It is one of the top 3 things I miss most about Johannesburg.
It can be enlightening to see your city through other people's eyes. The Lonely Planet City Guide to Johannesburg lists thunderstorms as one of our "weaknesses". That's like telling Thor he has a weak hammer. Summer thunderstorms are a Joburg superpower!

@cindygallop reading the #septemberissue is the thread I didn’t know I needed.
OK folks, hold onto your hats. Here we go. Starting my annual ritual of live-tweeting my reading of the @voguemagazine #septemberissue. Fyi: this will be happening on and off through today, because a) there's a LOT of the September issue, and b) I also have Saturday chores 🙂

Neil Gaiman to writers “the only thing you cannot make better is a blank page”.
I love that Neil Gaiman writes his first draft with a fountain pen.
When the angry male driver wildly gesticulates for you to go before him in traffic. And for a split second you think that he’s going to get out and moer you because you did not take the gap fast enough.
EU reaction: “Like the Titanic voting for the iceberg to move.” Sounds about right.

I'm not sure how to walk like a taco but @chancetherapper makes it sound possible.
This morning I was trying to read an article on a desktop and almost got an epileptic seisure from all the retargeting banners frantically flashing stuff at me. No man. We can do better than this.
