South African lawyer and bioethicist Kwanele Asante spoke in New York, United States, at the UN General Assembly in September 2025 about the experience of living with noncommunicable diseases and mental health conditions. She was selected to address the global meeting on noncommunicable diseases and mental health on behalf of people with such experience.
What happens when your leg won’t leg, your gob won’t gob, and a fuzzy little git called Inconsistence decides to move in?
Meet Lefty.
Meet the pup.
Meet Inconsistence.
And meet one increasingly frustrated bloke trying to work out what the bloody hell is going on.
FLIBBERTY GIBBET is a rhythmic illustrated story about unpredictability, fear, frustration, limited energy, friendship, acceptance — and learning that sometimes managing IT means learning how to manage yourself.
IT doesn’t magically disappear.
There is no triumphant cure.
There is no perfect set of rules.
Eventually, our hero discovers something much more useful:
IT can still be IT.
He can still be ME.
And that’s more than enough.

ABOUT THE STORY
FLIBBERTY GIBBET uses humour, rhyme and absurdity to explore the experience of living in a body that sometimes does things you didn’t bloody ask it to do.
It is a creative work, not medical advice.
If parts of it feel familiar, you’re welcome to laugh along.
