Lol, thanks I guess! And no true beef from me against @PugJesus@piefed.social at all. But that meme might as well have been about how Thomas Sankara invented the phone book and was secretly the Tooth Fairy.

Burkina Faso is a really interesting place, and just always feelt offwhenever I was there. Like, there's tons of vultures. Everywhere else in the whole Sahel region you'll see doves and crows and eagrets. Burkina is just overloaded with vultures. In the city, out in the county, so weird. Tragic what has happened there over the last decade.
