a woman tested positive for the BRCA gene and opted to get a double mastectomy without a cancer diagnosis. Then opted for IVF and only transferred embryos that did not have the BCRA gene. Essentially stopping any of her descendants from passing the gene.
Women having choices and access to healthcare is vital.
Gave in and started reading Fourth Wing. I'm not here to learn anything or develop as a human. However, at least my little and I now have dragons in common. Bidding my time until we introduce him to HP and the world of witchy magic.
Enjoyed Fourth Wing BUT it isn't as phenomenal as they claimed. Quite predictable if you've read any other political fantasy series. However, I will play them all. Best thing about it is the dragon lore I've been missing.
I just wonder why they don’t outsource it to Africans as much bc when it comes to accents Africans deffo speak clearer English and are more understandable
Consumption? You expect people to invest in tech when rather than meet their priority needs such as food, accommodation, healthcare and education? Behave.
The African diaspora sends $100 billion home every year.
Most of it goes to consumption.
If 10% of that had gone into African tech companies in 2025 instead, it would have doubled the entire venture capital market on the continent.
The diaspora is not waiting on Africa to be ready.
Africa is waiting on the diaspora to stop treating investment like charity and start treating it like what it is.
Opportunity.
A university professor is telling AA that AAVE is neither slang, dialect nor code switching but an actual language and they're arguing with her. Surely if you want your own things, a language isn't terrible.
Kev! What you’re describing is translanguaging (“codeswitching” from outside the speaker’s perspective). Black Americans also do this “weaving” beautifully in and out of African American language (AAL/AAVE) and North American English. You even did it right here on this tweet!😁😁
🚨 Djed Spence breaks silence on why he didn’t greet Thomas Partey:
“I have my beliefs, and I live by them. My faith guides my decisions, and I know what my scriptures teach me. People are free to interpret what happened however they want, but I’m not going to go into detail or explain myself.
To the England fans, if my actions disappointed or upset any of you, I sincerely apologise. That was never my intention. I respect everyone, but I also have to stay true to my convictions.”
@LBC EDI in the UK and rather than blame black and brown people in a country that favours whiteness, look at AI programmes used to screen CVs and job applicants.
@ngoni_princesss In a house where he doesn't pay bills? Kwena
Also, something has to be said about brothers sexualising their sisters and calling it "protection"
@ngoni_princesss@tash_shaya One time I sat on the floor of a supermarket aisle when Jacob chose to lay down but I home, I would match crazy for crazy lol he was distracted enough to laugh and forget. Fighting for my life and sanity.
