So David lost some of his things
Me: it's how casual you are about losing valuables that hurts me, really. Like you don't care.
David: looks sad, says sorry, then sends me this voice note a few days later. Now I'm feeling bad about judging him unfairly 🥹🥰
My fellow Nigerians, I suspect that if, in your childhood, your parents went scorched-earth on every single infraction, big or small, the odds that you know how to regulate your emotions in your adult domestic life are slim to none.
You are watching a country decline slowly, no academic rigor, cognitive atrophy in full display.
This dovetails into a general lack of ability to enforce excellence that finds its way into communal and work spaces.
The total mark is 400. So a score of 150 is 37.5%. That’s literally a fail. A score of 100 is 25%. Also a fail.
In a globally competitive world, this is all the signs of a falling standard of education.
Stay flexible enough to receive. You have not met all the friends life has for you. You haven't touched or tasted all the abundance the world has for you.
Even if they are looking at you, (because in some cases tbh, people are), everyone will be alright. You must be comfortable within yourself, you cannot outsource that. Your life is not a poll
I have done so many things in this life that have brought me so much joy and led me to a full life simply because I refused to listen to people that told me it was not “lady-like”
Pls 🤚🏾
Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶
The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

So you visited him to thank him for visiting you, perhaps he should then visit you to thank you for visiting him and then you guys can continue like till you die
I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point
Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home.
Nothing in that system is standing still.
The Moon is moving.
The Earth is moving.
Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here.
Adjust here.
Come back here.
And unlike nepa light, it infact works.
There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side.
I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything.
But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...
One last look at Earth before we reach the Moon.
This view of the Earth was captured on April 5, the fourth day of the Artemis II mission, from inside the Orion spacecraft. The four astronauts will reach their closest approach of the Moon tomorrow, April 6.
The ending of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) lands like a punch. The snap happens, heroes start turning to dust, and the theater goes completely silent. One of the rare times a blockbuster lets the villain win and actually sit with it.
