"How to kill a woman without leaving a trace" was googled 163 million times in 2025. But it's okay let's talk about alimony and the male loneliness epidemic.
There is something that happens at OR Tambo immigration after you come back from an international trip. I see the sign SA passports holders. But it is when you approach the home affairs immigration, they look at your passport after you have greeted in English and the official says: “usaphila MaNdlovu?” This switch from English to your language. Then they continue to ask: “uhambe kahle?” you reply. While still checking your passport, they say: “sithembe ubuziphethe kahle nawe!” They stamp your passport and they say: “welcome home!” Your smile, your heart ke sana as you go to fetch your bags. Ikhona maan into eyenzekayo kuwe! Uncuma de uyophuma! Yes, we have problems but OR Tambo immigration officials you make it better! Even for those 3 minutes.
Just watched a video where a woman writer shared how her mum came over to help. Her mum did all the housework, laundry, cooking, cleaning,nd childcare so she could focus. During her mum’s stay, writer TRIPLED her daily word count.
Then she said something that hit hard. Most men have this kind of support their entire lives. Next time you call a man productive, consider that..
@chrisbey2021@Maleek202506@Blessedstiches Nope. You're wrong. But I admire how boldly you speak on something you clearly know nothing about. Your confidence is something to behold.
I have an aunt who also did this. She'd come home from the UK with suitcases FULL of things for my cousin, & nothing for me. I lived with the cousin so I'd have to sit there & be happy for her while she unwrapped sooo many gifts. Relatives are funny.
When I was a kid my aunt did this thing she called “birthday shopping” with my older sister and cousins. For some reason mine always got forgotten. My sister would come home with bags of toys, clothes, candy, video games, Webkinz, etc going on about the day she had.
My mom was annoyed my aunt was spoiling her too much. I would get upset seeing her showing off all her stuff & that I didn’t get to go.
One year she brought me along for her birthday.
I assumed she was shopping for both of us to make up for all the years she forgot me. Apparently I was just there to watch & help carry all the bags. I tried to pick something out & she made me put it back laughing saying, why would I buy you something, it’s not your birthday. 🎂
Her & my sister were then mocking me for being upset. I went home very upset and told my mom what happened. I kept asking why doesn’t she take me. That year she actually took me shopping, & my sister.

@chrisbey2021@Blessedstiches You can't predict your period that far in advance no matter how regular you are. The earliest you can predict is 4-5 months & by then invitations have long gone out.
2. Stress can cause your period to come earlier or later than it should.
I can never worship a God who tells me to forgive my enemies 490 times yet he Created Hell for his own enemies. Why hasn’t he destroyed Satan till date?

They didn't know how to emotionally regulate themselves, or communicate correctly. My granny told me that she hated losing parts of sets coz she worked hard for her things & she also feared for my safety with broken shards all over the floor or not knowing if I'd hurt myself.
I broke a mug yesterday in my kitchen and I just swept it up and kept it moving.
And I wonder why our parents made so much fuss about breaking things when we were growing up.
The fact that throughout human history and across entirely different continents, women had to develop specific cultural practices just to escape the horrors of wartime men is terrifying. Darfur women had the right idea.
