This series is not only educational and informative, but it is also filled with beautiful and seldom seen images of women from the gulf region. Well worth reading and sharing. lnkd.in/fz-afPG

@marleejaneward You’re doing it the right way. You will be a master soon

@GuerillaMemoir Seems like life only start once you are a divorced woman of a certain age...

WRITERS: this is what pitches look like. Read this thread! You will FEEL it in your body when you hit a good one. Pitching your book should make agents feel like that! #WritingCommnunity #writingtip #howtoquery

@adamliaw Are you saying you know what other people have/have not experienced but they can’t possibly know what you have/have not experienced?

I think racism would be easier to understand if people who have never experienced racism didn't keep insisting they know more about racism than people who have experienced it constantly over their entire lives.

NO CHEATING (unless it is a personal image you can’t share) brighten up or worsen my week with the 3rd most recent pic in your camera roll. don’t explain unless i ask you to, then repost this on your timeline replacing “3rd” with the number I give you.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of @Springboks legend James Small, a member of their historic #RWC1995 winning side. Rest in peace 🙏

@JamesClear Use apps like Strava to set exercise goals and track progress

What are the best ways to use technology to break bad habits? -use website blockers -use parental controls to cut TV channels on certain days -ask internet provider to pause wifi at a certain time each night -use Kitchen Safe containers to lock away late night snacks What else?

@trisgilla Adelaide @agsa_adelaide by far

@SBalaghi @artspress Where was Ivanka? It was the ideal platform for her Woman’s empowerment campaigns. #workingwomen #EqualPay all that stuff she talks about all the time

@MaxduPreez Guess who’s losing out? Not her.

Sad to see this kind of backwardness from a country like Canada

@saline Really? I’m in Dubai and watch tennis with sound off bc its in Arabic and I don’t understand, so no purpose. But I miss all the on court sounds. Very bland w/o all the uhhs & ahhs!

Tennis screamers should be disqualified. And whoever started this unsporting fad should be internationally shamed. #tennis #Riske #Wimbledon #JustSayin

@ilsesalzwedel @Zafferology I use to feel the same, then became an expat and lived in Uganda and UAE for 10 years, travelled a lot and changed my mind. Africa is still in my blood but I can live anywhere. Now an Aus citizen living in UAE again. Who knows where next?

@Zafferology I can emigrate, I suppose. But I don't want. Andf I HAVE to, I'll go to Namibia. Grew up there. Africa is in my blood. Can't imagine life on a different continent.

@HelloNikDesign Yes. On your terms. I will work for free for clients who won’t make money off my work. NGO’s, charities, etc. And - not all payment is monetary - there are other ways to be rewarded. On your terms.
