@edgaralandough God bless you and God bless your wife.

I'm a guy who was raped at 6 years old by a male teacher. My parents didn't know until I was an adult. Because I was terrified of anyone ever finding out about it. That's what the guilt of a survivor looks like. One day I told the mother of my children.. She said you know that's not your fault right? That was the first time I had heard that. I know it sounds strange to most people. Fast forward to today, I’m 32 and have built an incredible community on this app. I just got my 4th plus 3,000+ pay out, which went to an incredible organization that stops child abuse. This ability to give back to children that I know are lost, confused, and changed in ways you only know if you have experienced it …means the world. I can’t thank you all enough, S/O to X too.

The joker once said “Not a single scar on my heart came from one of my enemies. They came from people I thought loved me.” I felt that.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

Jackie had no weapons. Her aircraft was in transit—unarmed, unready. But fighter pilots had discovered a trick: if you could slide your wingtip under the V-1's wing and nudge it slightly, you'd disrupt its primitive guidance system. The bomb would veer off target and crash harmlessly in the countryside. The maneuver required insane precision. One mistake meant mid-air explosion. Jackie banked hard and gave chase. She pushed the Tempest to maximum speed, trying to close the distance. The V-1 was faster. It disappeared toward London before she could reach it. But she had tried—alone, unarmed, willing to risk everything on the chance she might save strangers she'd never meet. When the war ended in 1945, the government disbanded the ATA overnight. Thanks for your service. You're dismissed. Go home. Most of the women never flew again. Society expected them to become housewives, to forget they'd ever commanded bombers and fighters. Jackie refused. She earned her commercial license and spent the 1950s ferrying Spitfires from Cyprus to Burma. In 1957, she flew refrigerators 15,000 miles to South Africa for a company demonstration tour. In 1958, Channel Airways advertised for a pilot. Jackie applied without mentioning her gender—just her qualifications: 1,500 wartime deliveries, thousands of flight hours, 83 aircraft types mastered. They hired her immediately. Jackie Moggridge became Britain's first female airline captain flying scheduled passenger routes. Male pilots still didn't believe it. Airport authorities in Burma once held her for three hours because they were convinced a woman couldn't possibly have flown a Spitfire solo across continents. In 1959, the British Women Pilots' Association gave Jackie the Jean Lennox Bird Trophy for advancing women in aviation. She accepted with a wish: "I long for a time when being a woman Captain would be commonplace." She created a flying scholarship in her name to help the next generation of women pilots—the ones who wouldn't have to fight as hard as she did. January 7, 2004. Jackie died at age 81. Her family scattered her ashes from a Spitfire so she could fly one last time. Her daughter still visits schools, telling students about the South African girl who refused to stay grounded—who broke her leg parachuting, flew more wartime aircraft than any pilot alive, and became Britain's first female airline captain despite a world insisting women belonged anywhere but the cockpit. She broke her leg parachuting at 17. At 18, she refused to bail out over the ocean and saved her plane on fumes. By war's end, she'd flown more aircraft than any pilot alive. Jackie Moggridge didn't wait for permission to fly. She just took off.

He explains why you should never trust someone who gets mad at your reaction to their behaviour.

My neighbor knocked on my door at 12 midnight to complain that my generator was disturbing her sleep. I apologized and turned it off immediately. Not once. Not twice. Multiple times. Each time, I kept apologizing. Then last Saturday, her son played music from his new purchase JBL speaker so loud my walls were vibrating. So I went over and knocked. She opened the door smiling, like we were friends. I said, The music is too loud. Can you reduce it? Her face and mood changed instantly. She said I was being hostile. She said she's always been a good neighbor to me. I didn't argue. I just said, Okay and walked back inside. Since that day, she stopped greeting me. Four years of daily greetings. Gone. All because I asked for the same respect I gave her. That’s when it hit me: Some people only like you when you’re easy to control. The moment you set a boundary, you become the problem. And if asking for basic respect ruins the relationship, maybe it was never respect to begin with. Have you ever lost someone just because you stopped accepting the bare minimum?

When asked about the blessing of same-sex couples after a decision by German Cardinal Reinhard Marx in Munich and Freising, Pope Leo XIV said Church unity should not be reduced to sexual ethics. “First of all, I think it’s very important to understand that the unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters,” he said. “We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual, and in reality, I believe there are much greater and more important issues, such as justice, the equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.” Leo said the Holy See had already made clear to the German bishops that it does not agree with the “formalized blessing of couples,” including homosexual couples or couples in irregular situations, beyond what Pope Francis had permitted. Invoking Francis’ well-known statement of “Tutti, tutti, tutti,” Leo said: “All are welcome, all are invited. All are invited to follow Jesus, and all are invited to look for conversion in their lives.” “To go beyond that today, I think that the topic can cause more disunity than unity,” he added, “and that we should look for ways to build our unity upon Jesus Christ and what Jesus Christ teaches.”

@drveekativhu Keep excelling. You are enough.

Unsurprisingly, last night, I was reminded (yet again) that being a Young, Black and Educated woman is seen as somewhat of a crime or a revolutionary act. For context… I posted this little video online two days ago sharing how excited I am to walk the stage and collect my doctorate degree. According to these replies how dare I want to have multiple degree without having a husband?? How dare I think I can take up space at places like Oxford and Harvard? Or God forbid I earn a PhD degree?? What’s so wrong about me doing that?😭🙆🏾‍♀️ These reactions are still the very reason why I’m sooooo vocal about loving studying and education advocacy as a Black girl - because the world STILLLLLL struggles to accept our capabilities & brilliance. Representation truly MATTERS, and I hope my graduation pictures and videos keep inspiring young girls, especially young Black girls, to own their abilities, passions, and intelligence. I hope there a THOUSAND more Dr’s waiting to walk the stage in the next few years !! I’ll certainly be cheering them on💛✨

@luvettafair Stunning wow

Try flower haircut for your hair 👇🏼

DIE ALONE BUT NEVER DATE SOMEONE WHO THINKS THESE 7 THINGS ARE NORMAL: THREAD

Like it doesn't deserve to be spoken about .womens pain always get sidelined. like its normal even though it's a suffering that was never,and will never be normal . Because women's pain always get minimized and forgotten.

Peter Ndlovu is one of the all-time greats. Beyond just Coventry, he introduced Africans as a whole to the Premier League. He paved the way for everyone on the continent. A true pioneer

@chikwadodavid60 @Dinnydavinci @safonyameherbal Wow 😮. In this day and age.

@jackie_hussein @Dinnydavinci @safonyameherbal Definitely a woman

Friends don’t out grow each other. I don’t understand the logic behind people saying “ I leveled up” or “I outgrew my friends” . It will never make sense to me ..

@Dinnydavinci @safonyameherbal You were friends except that you decide a new flock is what you need. Good or bad. You don't flock together when you are no longer aligned.

@jackie_hussein @safonyameherbal Friends don’t outgrow friends. I’m not talking about “folks” here. If that ever happens, then y’all were never friends in the first place. Maybe you need to understand what friendship means.

@kofiwest_gh @thefarmerZW Amen

May we never be a victim of CANCER, LIVER or KIDNEY Failure... Say Amen

@begottensun This is something close to my heart. I have told my mum her mealie meal and peanut butter are more expensive than the supermarket because maricho with breakfast, lunch, HRanagement and sweat equity. The math isn't mathing.

So we managed to get 3 tons average per HA. We had 4 guys on salary. 3 vemaricho, Expensive inputs and erratic rain. I just agreed with my wife : next year we just buy the maize we need for our animals. 🫵🤣. In SA we will get it under $300 per ton.
