i will never forget Mrs. Hudson in 5th grade recommended me (a semi class clown) and only one other student (the class goodie two shoes) for a magnet program. she told my mom how smart i was and how much potential i had 🥹
Europe spent 400 years using slave labour in colonies to build its wealth, rebranded this extraction model in the 20th century and somehow its citizens still believe their social conditions are a result of some superior intellect rather than inhuman violence.
Zero yellow cards here. Zero yellow cards against Egypt even after committing more fouls. It’s not even that the conspiracy is true but other teams are being punished for fouls / events that Argentina are getting away with and there’s no explanation for it.

I don’t think people talk about the impact of Nas “I know I can” on Black children’s racial esteem in the 2000s. I heard it at a family friends house and I can just remember being so happy to see another Black girl singing and being so happy! Feeling like the world was mine.
My mum just reminded me of when my primary school teacher called my parents and reported I was holding students hostage 😭
We received results on a math test & you know how teachers would humiliate people who did poorly? I felt so bad for them so during break time I rounded up all the students that did bad & refused to let them go on lunch break, I decided I was going to start teaching them math *by force* & some kids were crying that they wanted to go and play. I kept asking them why they wanted to play when they were failing. I even recruited a class mate to catch kids that escaped. Omg I was a terrorist 😭
Eventually some students escaped & went to report me to the principal 😔
