Your daughter just got her first period.
Do not tell her she is a woman now.
Tell her what estrogen does.
Tell her what progesterone does.
Tell her her cycle has four phases and each one will feel different.
Give her information. Not a new identity.
something i’ve realized watching all of this play out
a sandwich that jumps from $8 to $14 never goes back to $8. rent that climbs from $1,400 to $2,200 stays at $2,200 forever.
gas, groceries, insurance, all of it. prices only move in one direction
inflation becomes permanent the moment everyone accepts the new number.
and we always accept it because we have no other choice
then workers ask for raises just to survive the prices they had nothing to do with creating.
and suddenly they’re the problem. they’re “hurting the economy” by wanting to afford food
the economy for who exactly.
because whoever it’s working for it sure as hell isn’t us
Imagine my surprise when Black & Brown nurses on TikTok said that white nurses get the cushy job of labor & delivery or mother/baby straight out of nursing school, while everybody else gotta grind in other specialties and get years of bedside before they can even get to that unit
Everybody looks good also because there’s one major factor: when you’re welcoming Black people to an event, you need to know how to light Black skin properly. The lighting, the brown backdrop, everything was designed to complement black skin.
My husband’s friend works in a Walmart distribution center. She says it can get very hot in there. But they finally have some decent AC. Why? Because the robots that are there now require cool air to function. Fuck the humans but cater to the machines. What a disgrace.
i bought one of those margaritaville machines on facebook marketplace for $100. i took it home and realized some pieces were missing. so i messaged her really nicely and she agreed to meet me again because her husband was the one who packed it up and forgot all the pieces. i got there and she gave me the missing pieces AND my $100 back for me having to come meet her twice and she said "youre young and fun take that money and buy really good tequila for those margaritas!" i will never forget her!
Do you remember when radio stations used to give away concert tickets and backstage passes? I just heard a midday radio giveaway, and now the prizes are groceries, a year of gas, or rent paid. It’s a strange reminder that survival has become the prize. That’s pretty sad.
Shaquille O'Neal explains why he agreed with his ex-wife when she said she never loved him
“She didn't think she ever really loved me and my response was I wouldn't have loved me either”
“As a man I was failing. A man has three jobs with a woman. Protect, provide and love. At that point in my life, I failed her in all three areas”
“I was an asshole. I was an idiot. She was 1000% correct. I failed her as a husband, as a protector and as a provider”
“She's not my wife anymore but she gave me five beautiful children. I'll always protect her”
I see a lot of y'all trashing this but just know that a family created this for their daughter and it gained a following and it's being picked up by Disney so let's just appreciate that.
You cannot spend years breaking a child's spirit and then expect a few words in adulthood to repair what took years to destroy. You cannot teach a child to fear your footsteps, your voice, your moods, and your anger, then expect them to see you as a source of comfort later in life.
