Keep calling kids hoes and blaming skirts. Every time you do it, a rapist smiles because he knows the whole country will ask “what was she wearing” before they ever ask “why did he do it.”
You are deliberately protecting predators.
And we see every single one of you.
I hate when people tell me "there's always someone out there who has it worse," how does that help me? Because someone else have a bigger problem does that make my own problem go away?
Don't discredit my feelings or whatever I'm going through please.
A woman on IG and tik tok has been tagging woolies for almost a year asking them to change the handle and make it more practical to put over the shoulder with groceries inside and they been mixing her. This isn’t practical cause these white bags are gonna get dirty and no one wants to reuse a bag with stains.
The brand Woolworths also is black, not aligning with the brand at all, I mean they didn’t have to do anything. Or they couldn’t have just put Christmas stickers on it and called the Christmas special bag so they can easily go back to the black bag next year.
This is isolation at its core because there was clearly a part of your wife that felt more seen in her friendship than with you but also, energy vampirism within female friendships are overlooked & this form of covert narcissism is often seen/exposed by men.
I see both sides here— women need good friends & men need to understand their partner in the way a best friend would.
Foreigners will always compromise the integrity of any South African institution to benefit their fellow countrymen. You employ a foreign as supervisor or Manager, they employ & bring their fellow countrymen. Simple as that🚮🚮🚮🚮
Jooo this year month end August I got raped and went to sunnyside police station crying and the police officer shouted at me and told me that he is not the one who raped me so I must not cry to him
People are being cheeky about how the boys orchestrated this to wingman him but uhh the simpler explanation is that boys generally don’t take caretaking as a moral imperative the way girls do. This is an observation of a tendency that has many social consequences, not a criticism
It's a trauma response, when you're taught that it's always on you to save, to communicate, to apologise, then your nervous system is on high alert. You feel guilty for existing.
Opportunistic narcissists pounce on this; they weaponise their hurt and deny fair communication.
HR will always be HR.
You can’t actually predict what they’ll do. Your email could be perfect and still get ignored.
But if you want to increase your chances, like genuinely boost your reply rate, the first thing is to ditch those tired intros everybody uses.
Please, avoid “I hope this email finds you well.”
If you send that to me, I won’t give you the job. I’ll just shake my head and close the tab. 😂
Here are a few things you should be doing to get a positive response about 60% of the time:
1. Start with something specific about them, not you.
Not the “I love what your company is doing" kind of mail.
Something real. Something they actually tweeted, posted, or updated on their website.
Something like:
“Your new product update on bla bla bla caught my attention." Or "The way you handled xyzzzz shows you’re really paying attention to customer pain points.”
Short, direct and human.
2. Tell them the exact gap you noticed in their company and why fixing it matters.
You must do your research well before doing this.
(I have a story in an unreleased episode of my CREATORS' DIARY SERIES where I interviewed a lady that used this strategy well)
3. Prove your skill in one sentence. Be bold about it.
Just a quick line like:
“I’ve helped a fintech brand increase blog traffic by 87% using a similar strategy.”
That alone buys you attention.
4. Make your ask small.
No “Can we schedule a 30-minute call?”
No HR wants that.
You can try:
“I can send a quick breakdown of what I’d improve if you’re open to it.”
5. Keep the entire email under 12 lines. This is my personal opinion though because when I was still actively looking for a 9-5 job, I always get replies to emails under 12 lines.
At the end of the day, all these does not matter. Because, you can get a reply and still get rejected during interview.
Wish you all the best💚🙏
This isn’t good advice.
Always go with “Dear Hiring Team” or “Dear HR” ; even if you happen to know who works in HR. It’s best to keep things neutral and professional.
In many cases, the recruitment inbox is monitored by multiple people, not just one.
Unless the job posting or email specifically names a contact person, stick with “Dear Hiring Team.”
No company will penalise you for that.
SZA condemns the “classic misogynoir” treatment Cynthia Erivo faced after being ridiculed for protecting Ariana Grande from a crazed individual:
"[E]veryone’s gonna have cognitive dissonance 2 years later like ‘remember when everyone attacked cynthia for being black bald and nurturing? that was crazy’ it could jus stop now"
