ALL #CHILDREN ARE INTELLIGENT AND SPECIAL. It is the system which is not intelligent

@Ambar_SIFF_MRA He won't sleep with you.

Henry Cavill and his longtime partner, Natalie Viscuso. They aren't particularly looks-matched. Most would agree he is noticeably better looking than her. Yet examples like this are quite common. It highlights how men frequently prioritize loyalty, honesty, and compatibility over purely superficial looks.

58,000 Americans died in Vietnam. Over 3,000,000 Vietnamese died. And for fifty years, American culture has centered the grief of the 58,000 while treating the 3,000,000 as a backdrop. As scenery. As context. As "the Vietnam War experience." They built a wall in Washington with American names on it. A beautiful wall. A solemn wall. Good. Mourn your dead. But understand what that wall does not say. It does not say why they died. It does not say what they were doing there. It does not say what was done in their name to the people whose country it actually was. It does not mention My Lai, where American soldiers massacred an entire village, old men, women, children, babies, and the officer who ordered it served three years of house arrest before being pardoned. Three years. House arrest. Pardoned. For five hundred people murdered in a ditch. It does not mention the 2.7 million acres of Vietnamese forest doused in Agent Orange, a chemical weapon disguised as herbicide, that is still deforming Vietnamese children today. Not in 1970. Not in 1985. Today. Children born in 2020 with bodies twisted by a war their grandparents fought. And the chemical companies that made it are still in business. Still profitable. Still un-prosecuted. And yet they send us human rights reports. They grade our democracy. They warn us about our behavior. The audacity is so enormous it becomes almost impressive. Almost.

Without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression?

@theadeszn We hope our sister never moves that heel on your damn neck

I’m not busy tomorrow, maybe we go open UK Nigerian Nurses files. They’re the most dangerous and useless set of individuals you can have as a wife.

General William Westmoreland, the American commander in Vietnam, said that Asians do not value human life the way Westerners do. He said this to explain why Vietnamese soldiers kept fighting despite losses that would have broken Western armies. He did not say: perhaps they are fighting for something worth dying for. He did not say: perhaps our intelligence about their will to fight was wrong. He did not say: perhaps we have fundamentally misunderstood this enemy. He said: they don't value life. This is what happens when an army built on the premise of its own civilizational superiority meets a people who simply refuse to accept that premise. The army cannot update its model. It cannot say "we were wrong about who these people are." So it invents a theory where the enemy's resistance is not a sign of strength but a sign of deficiency. They keep fighting because life is cheap to them. Not because their cause is just. Not because they are brave. Because they are less than us. Westmoreland ran the war for years on this theory. He lost. The Vietnamese people, who apparently did not value life, built a country that is alive and growing and free. Westmoreland died in 2005. The people he could not understand are still here. So is the theory.

@fvckerysprinkle Homework is for your daughter's academic improvement, they are not for the teacher. You are ridiculous.

So my daughter had a test and asked her teacher if she was going to grade them over the weekend so she could know her grade on Monday. Her teachers reply “I’m not spending my weekend grading papers.” Okay then.. moving forward my children will not spending their after school hours doing hours of homework. They will not spending their weekend working on projects. They can do that during school time then.

@hy_wemmy Mine too

Mine is sitting on a toilet and a hidden snake attacks my v@gina but okay.

I’m in love with this sentence: “The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

@SheaButtaBaddie @smoke_nd_pearlz YOU ARE, IN FACT, VICTIM BLAMING!

@smoke_nd_pearlz I’m not victim blaming AT ALL, but how do you not sense that a mf hates you that much?!

There’s this doctor in Hawaii who is on trial for trying to kill his wife. Via “alpine divorce”. He took her hiking, got her close to the edge of a cliff and tried to shove her off. That didn’t work so he started beating her with a rock then pulled out 2 syringes (sedatives?). Two women hiking saw him and rushed over to help. They are currently testifying against him. This is so fucked up. He’s a whole doctor which means he probably stole drugs from work to paralyze and sedate her. I bet my bottom dollar something like propofol (sedative) and succinylcholine (paralytic) were in those 2 syringes!

@smoke_nd_pearlz I'm still loading that: he thought of doing it,he thought of how to do it, he thought of what to do if it doesn't work - the details.

Before you confront a toxic bully at your workplace, ask yourself... he has been there 11 years... who keeps renewing his contract!

I've tasted being the bigger person and i've tasted matching energy. i highly recommend choosing people who never make you act out of character. there's wisdom in remaining grounded.

Y’all ask women to expose their abusers, but when it turns out to be your friend, boyfriend, or family member, suddenly she’s lying

Mama Chidi’s husband died in January. By February, the condolence visits had stopped. By March, people had moved on. New gist, new problems, new things to talk about. But Mama Chidi was still in that house. Still waking up every morning to a silence that used to have a voice in it. Still cooking for two out of habit before remembering. Her children were in the east. They called often. Often is good, but what about Tuesday at 2pm when the grief sits on her chest like something heavy and there is nobody to just sit with her? Her neighbor’s daughter, a young girl called Adaeze, maybe twenty-four years old noticed and she just started coming. Every other evening, she would knock and say Mama I just came to sit with you small. Sometimes they talked, and sometimes they watched television together in silence. Sometimes Adaeze would help her sort through things she was not ready to sort through alone. She kept coming consistently Three months later, Mama Chidi told someone, that girl saved my life and she doesn’t even know it. Grief does not need a speech. It just needs a knock on the door. Humanity is standing beside the grieving.

A SOCIETY THAT TEACHES GIRLS HOW TO AVOID RAPĒ INSTEAD OF TEACHING BOYS NOT TO RAPĒ HAS ALREADY FAILED

@ABmrJutt What?

I can’t believe the myth that women can get STDs from toilet seats started because wealthy, white girls were testing positive for syphilis and doctors simply couldn’t fathom that they were being sexually abused by their wealthy, white fathers

Btw, a group of women would never gather like that to harm men. Never. And even if a few tried, other women would step in, and try to shut it down. Even online, women will be talking about harm done to them and you’ll still find other women rushing in to say “but some men are good,” to balance the conversation. Even a movement that was formed to fight for women’s right, most women still distance themselves from it! But look at that video, hundreds of men, together, in broad daylight laughing, shouting, chasing, trying to participate. No one stopping it or pulling the others back. It’s always “not all men,” but when things like this happen, it is always men. And more importantly, it is too many men at once for us to keep pretending this is rare or isolated. At some point, we have to stop dancing around it and say the truth plainly! So irritated!

Poverty is expensive in a way that people don’t understand. If you can’t afford a dentist you have long term teeth damage. Not affording healthy food means poor health. Not affording ‘good schools’ means missed opportunities. It is a compounding cycle.

The world's food security is under serious attacks by billionaires who are hiding under the guise of scientific researches.
