I’m a big fan of the (anti) propaganda Compound Africa is spreading. I love it so much!

ALSO and i will not shut up up about this ever ADAM AND EVE’S FIRST DAY WAS REST. God rested on the seventh day which was adam and eve’s FIRST day. they did not earn their rest, it was just built in! their birthright! and ours!

[maneesha @ManeeshaSem]

yes. and there’s also a correlation between survival mode and not wanting to dress well, adorn yourself, do self care, do your hair, nourish yourself. you just don’t have energy to care about beauty and sensuality because your nervous system is busy keeping you safe.

[Wholesome Side of 𝕏 @itsme_urstruly]

I really think there’s a correlation between survival mode & not decorating your home.

@rk__upadhya This is exactly the kind of story that makes me love anthropology even more. The “data” sometimes says more about the relationship between researcher and community than it does about the actual behavior. 6-7 times is wild though, respect to the commitment if it was real

I’m not sure how y’all are navigating romantic relationships, but the "real" stories I keep hearing are really something.

I watch too many cooking shows for someone who can barely cook

A lot of us women with 4C are at risk of having traction alopecia. Those braids, ponytail are too tight, they’re stressing your scalp. Taking time off to wear all back, is not you being broke. Please care for your hair.

I had to go to the pharmacy to have broken glass removed and my bruises disinfected. Long story short, this country is a joke.

At that time yesterday, I was involved in an accident. A policeman angrily smashed the windscreen of the driver's vehicle. I'm glad I decided to move from the front seat to the back seat five minutes before the incident.

in the Ghanaian and Nigerian settings i keep finding that the child is expected to learn the parent deeply whereas the parents can ignore who their child is and claim successful parenting because of the type of material scarifies they are systematically forced into.

[Ronke Lawal @ronkelawal]

Oh now THIS is a topic that needs unpacking because the normalisation of emotional abandonment by some elders is really not addressed enough publicly or even handled well privately.

[Thela Anu @ThelaAnu]

It’s not easy to find someone who truly loves you for who you are and if you do, hold them tight and treat them even better than you think they deserve.

I’ll never forget a date I went on and this man was impressed that I take long walks

He came with me on one and was just too impressed.. he kept saying “this is so dope! Taking a walk! Damn this is fire 👏”

I already knew what this meant 😐

I texted him later in that day and told him this wasn’t gonna work ☠️☠️.. im dead serious
