This is actually hysterical. I can’t remember the last time we had to market a genocide to the people being genocided.

@FinancialMailOct 25
The US government is spending millions to market an alleged genocide to Afrikaners who don't even know they're victims. More from @ChrisRoper here: fm.co.za/art_01a14492ef6c77b…

I’m sharing this because I feel like I’ve seen people in relationships like this and I just want them to know they’re not crazy. This is SICKENING. I haven’t been watching this season but this should be stopped and seen to.

You can't give someone a perspective they don't yet have the capacity, bandwidth, or experience to understand/hold. Sometimes, it's not that they disagree with you. They simply haven't evolved in that direction enough to see what you see.

Regarding this “maintenance” culture, I stood firm against it this year I only do “the big 3/4” when I have an occasion coming up. Travel, birthdays, etc Stopped the monthly thing because it stopped making sense lol. Why am I “unkempt” because I didn’t fix nails and lashes?

Most people in France can't afford housing. They didn't blame immigrants, or transgender people, or video games, or avocado toast. They blame the government. Because that's who's responsible. That's always who's responsible.

I just refuse to lay down and die like the world wants us to. If something awful can happen, so can something amazing. The pendulum always swings.

I wish positivity was more recognized as a quality of resilience. People always think I am naive, sheltered or just naturally optimistic, but it does take much more strength to be positive than it does to wallow

i cannot recommend highly enough adopting the habits of seeing the best in people, looking for the good, finding same-sidedness, holding goodwill towards all, choosing kindness in all circumstances, inclining towards the high road, living with love moment by moment, day by day

My timeline is trash. Either “for you” which is filled with BluSean and co, but my following tab is worse because all the people I followed, hardly tweet any more so it’s just official coms accounts.

Women are expected to prevent male violence, anticipate male violence, survive male violence, explain male violence, and then comfort men about male violence.
