Be with someone who gives you joy and security. Security without joy is a prison and joy without security is anxiety.

@SelimaTate @3kingvisions Yes to this especially big or bulky or rarely used tools, electric mowers, shovels. I know places where you can borrow framed art. I would borrow knitting needles, crochet hooks or a sewing machine if I could.

@jiggyjayy2 I think having children at this age is selfish. You'll be close to 80 when they graduate highschool 😩 You are almost guaranteed not to meet any grandchildren or view other significant life events 😔

A man's money is never your money. i can't buy into this idea of marry rich or only date high value men cause there is zero security in any of that. As a woman the only financial security you have is to make your own money and ensure you always have a way to make more!

I truly want to encourage parents to set aside 15-20 mins a day to read with their children. Especially reading children’s books the kids need to see that you enjoy reading as well. This also translates to school age and teens! Reading can be a fun family experience. Throw on an instrumental of you or child’s favorite music and vibe out READING books!

bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”. This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group. What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact. Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility. This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.
