That cover captures the silent suffering of so many of Indonesian and Filipino domestic helpers. They give their love to the children they care for abroad, while their own kids grow up without them. It’s a sacrifice they make for their children’s future.

What are the odds that two Year 6 girls, both named Keisya/Qisya would also have mothers named Nurul Hidayah? In a world full of randomness, sometimes the universe still manages to sync.

Al-fatihah untuk ibu-bapa dan adik-beradik Adik Qisya.

Malaysia, like most countries, isn’t immune to alcohol-related issues. But thanks to controlled sales, time restrictions, and even local vigilantes keeping booze out of public parks, many spaces remain clean, safe, and family-friendly.

God forbid they ever remake this Franco-Italian classic and cast some out-of-place Sub-Saharan actors in place of Alain Delon, Romy Schneider, and Jane Birkin as if brooding Mediterranean ennui can be swapped for random intensity. Not everything needs a globalised remake.

The 1969 film “La Piscine,” which follows a couple vacationing at the home of friends in France, is a story of bourgeois emptiness, Richard Brody writes—“a story of literary ambition and effort which remains entirely without substance.”https://t.co/VZ1Gp1nQlT

If your relationship costs you every friend who ever cheered for you and every family member who truly knows you, is it a spouse worth keeping?

3.7 million French citizens have embraced nudism. When we say “my body, my choice,” do we really mean it? Or does that freedom only apply when a body is naked? Because the moment someone chooses to cover up, people get uncomfortable.

Maybe it’s not the skin.
It’s the control.

Apparently if your shower doesn’t last 45 minutes, involve three cleansers, two scrubs, a loofah blessed by moonlight and a £90 body oil, you’re not “clean.”

You’re not bathing.
You’re marinating.

Ah yes, nothing says “hope for Syria” like pastel gowns on a Paris runway while the country is still in ruins and millions are displaced. But sure, let the embroidery do the healing.

There’s a reason cosmetic procedures are expensive. Beyond a licensed, professional setup, clinics need trained staff. That costs money. Take all that away and operate out of a shed, and when clients end up harmed, who’s really to blame… if not the ones who walked in willingly?

She undresses in private so the male doctor won’t see her naked. Then calmly lies back and lets him swab her cervix. She’s not confused. She just knows the difference between sexual exposure and medical necessity.

It’s ironic that while western people are busy celebrating morbidly larger bodies, those with skin conditions or disfigurements are still pushed aside. If only true body positivity included everyone—instead of just picking and choosing who gets the spotlight.

A bitter delivery person dropped off the food and got upset because the black customer didn’t tip her upfront through the app. She left a nasty handwritten note—but by the time she realised she’d actually get a cash tip, it was too late. That petty note really did her in.

Isn’t it fascinating how occidentals can be hesitant about something as simple as regular hygiene practices—like showering or washing with soap—and yet they’re often viewed as the pinnacle of beauty, purity, and cleanliness?

Now, that’s a social narrative worth unpacking 🙄

Seeing those little punks try to sneak onto a bus without paying and getting smacked by the driver makes me extra thankful I live in Malaysia. Sure, RapidKL buses might be late sometimes because of traffic, but at least we’ve got it easy otherwise.
