MOST female rappers of today are not even close to what true sisterhood actually IS. For Missy Elliott to be in tears & immediately Lil Kim & Da Brat console her is what SISTERHOOD IS.

This particular shark is believed to predate the existence of the United States of America. A team of scientists discovered a cluster of Greenland sharks and concluded that some of them are the oldest known vertebrates alive today. These sharks inhabit the frigid waters of Greenland and were the subject of a study conducted in 2017, which examined 28 individuals. The eldest shark in the study measured 16.5 feet (five meters) in length and was estimated to be approximately 392 years old. The researchers established, with a "95 percent certainty," that the shark's age fell within the range of 272 to 512 years, with a most probable age of around 390. While the exact reasons behind their exceptional lifespan remain unclear, it is believed that the arctic temperatures they inhabit (plunging below 29 degrees Fahrenheit) contribute to their longevity. These low temperatures result in reduced body temperatures and slower metabolisms, thereby minimizing damage to the sharks' tissues. Additionally, their growth rate is exceptionally slow, with less than half an inch (a centimeter) gained per year, suggesting a significantly longer lifespan compared to other vertebrates. Furthermore, the females of this species exhibit delayed sexual maturity, only beginning to mate at the age of 156.

Will Poulter on how no African restaurant holds a Michelin star

Record-breaking heat wave in Texas. NYC & Chicago recording the worst air quality of major cities in the world due to wildfire smoke. First US cases of malaria in decades. Climate change is the biggest public health threat humanity faces, and it's happening now.

You know what. . . I'm so sorry to Black people from Texas. It was one thing when other Black Americans were learning about and celebrating Juneteenth, having the shared history of our ancestors being enslaved on this land.

There are definitely Pride events that are not kid appropriate. There are Purim events that aren't kid appropriate. Christmas parties that aren't kid appropriate. But Pride is not inherently dirty and inappropriate. Gay familes are not inherently inappropriate. That's bigoted.

That's why it's good to talk about pride in age appropriate ways from the very beginning. So our kids know that they will be okay, they will be loved. It's not about sex, or politics, or adultification - its about unconditional love.

My baby girl is 6 month old today. Everyday, I get notifications from daycare on what she is doing, how much she ate and napped, etc. Today, I got sent a photo of her in the park, holding a LGBTQ pride flag while being read a book celebrating Pride. As a parent, I was thrilled.

This entire thread. Knowing you’re “different” happens early. Before sex ed, before sex talk, before we even really understand crushes. Parents like this, showing unconditional love towards strangers will make all the difference for their kid and others

He put his bag down to go throw something in the trash and was accused of stealing his own bag when he returned to it. It wasn’t until a white woman stepped in that the police believed him.

Nope. This ain’t it.

We really need to talk about this. Because. The whole fucking SCENE WAS CHAOTIC!
