I don’t think people realize how much abuse thrives in environments where appearances matter more than truth.

I support black women’s rage And black women’s revenge

A worker's strike actually moving the needle will be so poetic.

You can't outgrind a failing economy. Inflation will eat away your savings faster than you can build them. The taxes will keep rising, and in return, you'll get crumbling roads, underfunded hospitals, and an education system that barely functions.

There’s something consistently unsettling about the way femicide is reported in the media. The victim is everywhere. Their name, face, photos shared and reshared, sometimes even in moments that strip away dignity. Meanwhile, the perpetrator is often blurred, unnamed or

my inner world is becoming my safe place and it’s taken a lot of effort to make it that way. the mind is not a prison but an oasis.

Keep expanding your capacity to receive all the greatness making its way to you.

More broadly it is not a coincidence that this increase occurs at a time of decreased accessibility to social provisioning and tougher economic conditions. More policing on its own, will not cut it. Anti-social activities and cultures are incentivised by shitty conditions.

The person most likely to harm you as a woman is your boyfriend or husband. Then followed closely by male relatives including your father, brother or son. Those are the global statistics. So this hand-wringing over strangers is deceitful. Abuse is mostly intimate/domestic.

The killings and disappearances of young women in this country aren't separate from how we treat sex workers. As a society, we have chosen to moralize sex work rather than decriminalize it and recognize it as labor deserving of the same rights and protections as other occupations

My heart goes out to all Kenyan women. For the fear, the grief of losing sisters and friends and the resilience you are forced to carry. For having to live with this constant negotiation of safety and for the anger of knowing it does not have to be this way.

All the extra extra shock and moral panic whenever women do something even slightly morally reprehensible exist because you have been conditioned to see us as obligatory saints when we’re not. My feminism recognises women as morally complex human beings capable of good and bad, and socialisation is why the consequences are disproportionately harsher for us. If we were truly morally superior, you would cede leadership positions to us — domestically and professionally — but you won’t because you know it’s all just a mechanism of control. No true equality until we undo this dehumanising construct so men can stop using ‘nature’ as an excuse to do all sorts of evil while punishing women more harshly for the same shit they feel entitled to do. There is nothing special about men that makes their pain a global emergency while ours is treated as an afterthought. Claiming not to be emotional beings but stinking up the place with tears and bullets when they get their feelings hurt, even when they drew first blood? Cry me a fucking river.

The ability to ignore your mood and stick to the plan WILL change your life
