Things I will definitely be doing more in 2023 (probably will be an ongoing thread):
Intentionally spending time with God and listening.
Telling my friends I love them.
Intentionally expressing gratitude.
Therapy
Maybe finally, I can talk about this tweet.
When people make a decision regarding their virginity, let them be please. Don't talk them out of it. Whether it's a religious decision or an issue of celibacy, please let them be.
It bothers me deeply that people pretend academia is non bias & fact oriented. Race science was invented on college campuses. Racism isn’t confined to the “uneducated”. Academia has been used to justify racism for centuries.
I think we overtly blame conservatives for the increasing anti-intellectualism. I see how you guys engage with critique, leftists have their own part to play. Just a mess all round
Keeping him from getting roles for SEVEN whole years while they play in his face with the film they had almost no intention of making… Yeah, there’s a special place in hell for Feige.
From what I remember reading he also had to pass on several movies while waiting for Blade. He’s got every right to call Marvel & Kevin Feige out for this. And now with Wonder Man?! Very bad look on their part
Let’s not forget: In 2019, South Africans boycotted Burna Boy & forced the cancellation of his show purely b/c he tweeted against xenophobia. They punished him for speaking the truth.
Then in 2023, they did it again(citing other bogus reasons). They mobilised a massive online campaign to boycott his stadium concert, ensured ticket sales tanked, & then celebrated the cancellation like they had won the World Cup.
You can imagine the situation where the oppressors are even more organised than the oppressed. They(fans and artistes alike) were united in their ability to shut down anyone who dares to call out their bloodlust.
Meanwhile, Nigerians are queuing up to buy tickets for Tyla, preaching that we should "be realistic" and "separate art from politics." I can't believe that even a common-sense boycott became a debate on Social media. We are not ready.
feige can get ghost rider greenlit and bring back white actors whose character arcs are done but we don’t get blade or a wonder man s2 or a proper sam wilson captain america movie or promo for ironheart or monica rambeau in doomsday and i’m supposed to think it’s not intentional
It's now become incredibly apparent that the FBI/IRS-led FIFAgate has dismantled the old Blatter corrupt regime and ushered in a new US-led era of FIFA corruption.
American influence on football is now sky high
There needs to be more information about how pregnancy can damage your body and the risks!
What we do not need is people dehumanizing pregnancy/postpartum, saying that you look ugly or that it is disgusting, or that no one is going to want you after it
I wish it was more common knowledge that almost all regulations exist because companies weren’t doing these things on their own and bad things were happening because of it.
Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
