“I know this is unfair because I know you did your best//
I mean knowing what I know about all you’ve been through, I’m just grateful that it wasn’t much worse//
But all the knowledge in the would couldn’t help feel better when I think about all of my hurt…”

In Franz Kafka’s letter to his father, he wrote “I know it is my father's first time on this Earth, too. And I know He had it worse when he was little. But I was little too”
Community note
While this quote is commonly attributed to Franz Kafka's letter to his father, it actually originates from internet writer veniennes, who had initially posted it to TikTok in 2023.

‘uMhlangano is a queer-led gathering born from our shared longing for connection, belonging & meaning beyond commercialised, exclusionary spaces.
We’re co-creating space for reflection, music & conversation, honouring agnostic spiritual expression.

The big one thing I took out of Bev Ditsie’s call to gather at Zoo Lake yesterday was that you really do get to pick who forms part of your community and who does not. This notion of an umbrella “queer community” is s myth we’ve believed and perpetuated for far too long

I’ve no interest in investing my time, effort, resources, talents, care, labour, thoughts to/around/with those that are in service of only their personal interests over the very clear and destructive forces of malice and greed we’re currently confronted by, “queer” or not!

My door, with whatever lies behind it, and the doors that were open amongst those who gathered at Bev Ditsie’s call I believe are now reserved only for a select few. Those of you who live and thrive in self-serving interest, such good luck! Where to now that the party is over?
