I genuinely don’t understand how we are supposed to casually process that a glacier literally collapsed in Nepal, erasing 19 bridges and killing over 600 people, because the planet is too hot. And instead of stopping it, billionaires are building more data centres. It is completely psychotic.
My message to the IDF officer who ordered the airstrikes on World Central Kitchen and to the people who bomb and smear humanitarians — and to the leaders who have the responsability to stop it..
Before the World Cup, I gave an interview where I said it was my dream to score in this tournament. I could never have imagined that, by the end of it, my goal would be voted the Best Goal of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It is a huge honour to receive this award. I am incredibly happy and grateful for this recognition and for everything it represents - not only for me, but above all for Cape Verde. I hope this moment inspires young Cape Verdeans to believe that their dreams are within reach.
I want to thank everyone who has been part of this journey and everyone who has shown me so much love and support over the past few weeks. None of this would have been possible without you.
This is just another step in my journey. I promise to keep working hard, score more goals, achieve even more, and continue representing Cape Verde with pride 🇨🇻🙏
It doesn’t matter if the man killed by ICE in Maine was authorized to work in the United States or not. It doesn’t matter if he had a social security or not. ICE should not be killing anyone. Period.
A bird has never paid rent to live in the sky. A tree has never paid to stand in a forest. The sun has never been charged for rising. The river has never paid to flow.
Yet humans spend their whole lives trying to earn permission to exist on earth
Zohran Mamdani quoted Tupac Shakur when asked if he opposes the war in Iran:
"This war killed thousands of civilians, so yes, I strongly oppose it— Tupac said it decades ago, we always seem to have money for war but never to feed the poor."
We live on a planet where trees communicate, octopuses dream, elephants honor their dead, bees dance to find their way, crows remember, ants build, cats heal with their purring, and the forest, after the fire, blooms again.
I don't get greed. If I had Bezos cash, I'd be fixing a problem every week. Homelessness? Not on my watch. Hungry kids in school? No way. Animal shelters full? I'll build 10,000 more.
The earth is just spinning through infinite darkness at 67,000 miles per hour and somehow it also made blueberries?? And laughing?? And the feeling of sun on your face?? What is this place. What a an absolute gift.
I genuinely think if we all adopted a 4 day work week with 5-6 hour days, it would change the course of society. People would be happier, healthier, less angry, and more present. Social bonds would be stronger. It could literally change the entire world.
Women are out here sharing live locations, checking the backseats of cars, and holding their hands over their drinks. Men are doing 3 hour podcasts about how unfair it is that we don't smile at them. The disconnect is fatal.
We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.
Surya Bonaly originated the backflip in the Winter Olympics and was penalized for it. She should have won the gold medal. Now the Olympics is celebrating another skater for doing her move. The Olympic Committee owes her an apology and a gold medal.
