The way some of you are donating your money to protein bars when Donkwa is right there is actually fascinating.
Same protein, better taste, and less spending on your bank account. We really need to start respecting our local gains."

There’s that bath set, grey and white like this.
Don’t buy it, when you’re buying baby things.
I’m about to use mine for gardening.

I need people to know this.
Mills and Boons had a subset called Silhouette 😭😭
'Just keep swimming'🐠@Abigailisloved
"Silhouette" and "gauche" are words you would be conversant with if you read romance novels 😩

@tayobeats_ Cleaning it was a bitch, and the way it slides off it is not properly installed?

the louvres were not perfect.
Ayo-Elesho@Ayoelesho
Nigerians switched from using louvres, which provided full ventilation, to sliding windows, which provide only partial ventilation. Now, everyone is complaining of heat after blocking air from entering their rooms. Why are we so backward in everything we do?

If you’ve downloaded ‘Before You Say That,’ and you’ve started reading it, I’d love to have you join me for an X Space conversation.
We’ll be talking about disability inclusion, the words and phrases in the book that you’ve already started unlearning, what’s been eye-opening for you, and how we can all communicate better going forward.
I’m putting together a virtual conversation series where I bring together disability inclusion advocates and people who genuinely care about this work to create awareness, share perspectives, and explore practical ways to make inclusion the norm.
If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, please send me a DM 💜

💜 MAY IS LUPUS AWARENESS MONTH 💜@misty_abisola
To the non-disabled people who want to do better. The ones who are passionate about disability inclusion but do not know how to start. The ones who care, but sometimes pause mid-sentence and think, “is this the right way to say this to a disabled person?” I wrote this guide for YOU. Because I’ve been there. I stepped into disability inclusion work with good intentions, but without a clear guide on how to communicate with care. I had to learn, unlearn, and relearn many words I assumed were harmless. Before You Say That is the guide I wish I had. It’s simple, clear, and straight to the point. A practical dictionary of disability-inclusive language that helps you navigate everyday conversations without overthinking it, with better understanding, better wording, and more awareness. This book is available for free download, and it has been tested across disability communities to make sure it reflects real experiences, not assumptions. If you read this Volume 1 and have thoughts on how it can be improved for future editions, I’d genuinely love to hear from you. You can reach me via misturah@mistyglamcompany.com with your feedback and thoughts. I hope this book does what I intended it to do which is to help more of us communicate with clarity, respect, and care. Download Before You Say That here 👇🏽 selar.com/5r9z11ka8n Sincerely, Misty 💜

Sometimes Twitter can be depressing.
If the nasty comments about TTC were coming from men, I would have said “na their way.” But seeing stupid women who found it easy to get pregnant now thinking they can piss on other women’s struggles is nasty.
Who is seeking your pity?
When I had my first baby, I was a TTC mum. It took me one year. I joined forums, read people’s stories, researched what to do, used hormonal regulators, tracked my ovulation, visited doctors who refused to take me seriously because I was young , and I still cried at every negative test because I was anxious and tired.
For my second, I was still a TTC mum, even though it took 5–6 months. My period stopped, and that alone caused me serious anxiety, still joined those forums online looking for who was exactly in my shoes
So no, TTC is not some pity party acronym. It is a community, a language, and a way women find support while going through their journey

The day someone decided she wants to get pregnant and she started preparing her body for it is the day she’s a TTC mum!
Juliet🥀@Champagne_girl_
I saw a tweet where someone referred to Veekee James as a TTC mum. Hello? She got married in 2024 and took in this year. Veekee James is not a TTC mum!

The things I’m seeing in these quotes are so annoying especially from women. “It’s the food, shawarma, skincare”. These are the things we fought banger boys about the whole of last year on spreading misinformation and harmful rhetorics about women’s health.
Shawarma is not the cause of PCOS. Skincare is not the cause of PCOS. The older generation of women had it but were undiagnosed. Some of us have had it before we even knew what shawarma was. It is very insensitive and distasteful
Anita Vams@a__vanita
I just opened TikTok and saw a 20yr old girl say, ‘Only me PCOS, fatty liver, kidney problems.’ I checked the comments and it was full of girls aged 17–20 saying the same thing. Then I saw another: ‘Only me PCOS, ovarian cysts, enlarged ovaries, fatty liver, 2 years without menstruation… and I just turned 20.’ My goodness

if you want to piss men on twitter off, just tell them to be a present father in their children's life. funny lot.
even the jobless ones will create scenarios where they work under the sea & are inaccessible to the world every 6 months. psst

They’re in the replies calling her all kinds of names because she said big dicks can be in any race. This shit is starting to get ridiculous.
sweetest@BeyondBeautiful
All races got big dicks. Ngl theres such a big misconception that only black men are hung. 😭

Many of them have time for side chicks by the way. But to spend time with their children, something something I bring money home provider rubbish.
Reji@RejiYates
You guys actually make excuses a lot you know. No can convince me that a parent will be too busy to bond with their children. Growing up my dad was the sole financial provider but I have way too many memories of movie nights with him, doing riddles, discussions , family outings to Cosmo or Wing Wah Buffet, Pizza nights, playing the Wii or Just Dance. Even now, he bonds with us so much, he would call us to invite us over for some Wine and Chinese which leads to funny / almost heated family debates. Made time to go shopping with us and get us ice cream after (4 girls so it got hectic) Even if he wasn’t able to attend school plays etc…I just never felt a way about it growing up because the bonding was always solidified. Yet he worked and was even studying at the same time. Can’t deal with excuses man. If your dad wanted to…he would.

I’ve been quiet… not absent.
I was building, protecting, and embracing the greatest blessing of my life.
God gave me more than I prayed for
a woman who became a mother of three, and three kings to call my own 👑👑👑
My world. My responsibility. My legacy.
Alhamdulilah! ✨

@Phatbabeluuu They will almost drag your necklace from your neck, Hausa traders no dey drag una
English
The ones in Yaba are from Sweden
Annie❤️@annie_talker
Unrelated, but Hausa traders don’t touch/harass women in the market too. I’ve noticed how they even avoid contact when I pass by. As someone who has lived in the north/middle belt, I can confidently tell you they are the most honest ethnic group in Nigeria (both in words and character).

@notyourboyizzy @OyinLadun0 You are a dunce. So quick to victim-blame.
You missed the part where the victim grew up in the same area and went to the same school with the associate.

Mind the information you give out. Say your papa na big man no mean say you go dey tell everybody.
Always stay discreet and humble it helps. Look at his mother’s house when Harrison visited. Does that look like a house of someone that has 200 million laying somewhere?
I hope that the law throw the book at these boys, but unfortunately the boy that lost his life literally kpai himself.

17-year old boy k! lled by ex-classmates after being k!d napped for ransom.
