The hill I'm building my mansion on is that the person who needs discipline is the adult whose only parenting tools are cruelty & violence. The self restraint we expect of children, do we even have it?

The cast isn't even 30% of the problem. Using big actors for the pull is excusable especially for the first black fantasy adaptation . My issue is majorly with the book itself. The source material is horrible.

i don’t think this is true?

“rape festival” may everyone involved die.

there’s something wrong with a culture that sees an exceptionally brilliant secondary school child and thinks of marriage before scholarship

[FeministHive @filosoFeez]

It’s soo performative too, because centering the victim would mean talking about support, repair, and prevention and not just screaming into the void for execution. just loud and wrong 😩

Bezos found enough pocket change to stuff $28 million into Melania’s purse, but not enough to bring his war correspondents home before eliminating their jobs.

I don’t agree with a lot of things the author wrote. Wdym women aspire to weddings more than men because they don’t have to bear the financial responsibility? Zero nuance, just assumed men’s money is what controls the dating/marriage scene. I hate lies.

No I mean USA. Obama acted like that too and he wasn’t neither ✌️

[Dikadi. @DikaOfoma]

friendship has always mattered for most people. what i find amusing about our generation is that we talk sometimes like the world began with us.

[Yemi Adewale @yemightwords]

It’s a good time to reshare this piece i once wrote about how fiction teaches us empathy better than life sometimes can.

absolutely the tiniest and most unimportant part of rob reiner's career, but him as jess's dad in new girl was always so hilarious and perfect

There is too much happening for mid-December. Where are the cancelled meetings? Why are we not circling back next year?

[Gerrick Kennedy @GerrickKennedy]

50 Cent can produce four hours about another man’s violence toward women while his own history goes unquestioned. That’s not incidental to hip-hop’s reckoning with misogyny. It IS the reckoning. My latest: https://t.co/7MmPLf5cI4

Reiterating that if African feminists don’t evolve beyond Chimamanda-esque feminism, we won’t make it. It’s not even a curse. There are many radical African feminists than Chimamanda, yet she’s the face of Afro-Feminism. Makes me so mad.

[Mofiyinfoluwa Odubanke. @__mofiyinfoluwa]

Because of indoctrination. we’re socialised into it and even when we make attempts at unlearning it, we realise how many things around us (culture, religion, politics, art/media) enforce it repeatedly.

Not an excuse but still something very serious to think about

Dying for ‘let’s circle back in the new year’ season!
