My parents made it so clear that being stupid is not okay. Always think. Always carry sense. I feel like they were right but so many of y’all are very very very stupid. They didn’t warn me about y’all. I feel ill-prepared to deal with how genuinely unintelligent y’all are

If you don't have one already, build a support system. A system, not one person, a network of people. Also, be there for these people. Support them as well.

I love being around people who are working on themselves, who are developing, who are self aware. who care about others, who reflect on their behavior, who try to be better, who don’t sweep things under the rug

Watching people use God as an excuse to further their hate against marginalized groups is wild…. Didn’t Jesus hang out with prostitutes… who the hell do you think YOU are?

The same system that said “Black women aren’t women so we can legally r*pe them” y’all wanna ride behind to be transphobic?? Over a PERIOD?

[Black American Princess ✨ @biab_14]

I get it now. The men who go for women that “dress more revealing” believe they’re dressed like that to get a man. So when that woman gets a man, said man expects for the woman to dress more modestly.

The men need to know women don’t dress like that for y’all. That’s the issue.

boundary: “i don’t feel comfortable with this behavior bc it makes ME feel insecure. therefore *i* will have to leave bc of MY emotions and how *i* have to manage them”

not boundary: “YOU are doing stuff i don’t like so YOU have to change your behavior or it’s boundary crossing”

[Dr Moeketsi @AusBassie]

And when you pray tonight..pray for the wisdom to understand that two emotions can co-exist simultaneously. You can be happy and sad at the same time, happiness wont wait for you to be sad vice versa. You must choose which emotion will dominate. It’s not an easy task but doable.

Acceptance is an extremely important part of a relationship. People show up for you at their own capacity. You can either accept them where they’re at, or keep them at a distance. Your expectations of others will lead to disappointment if you don’t accept their capacity.

As a woman, to be subjected to misfortune with men is to be subjected to twice their misfortune, because it doesn’t matter how bad or deadly the situation is, or how little time is left, your dehumanisation and abuse will always be an option.

[5hahem @shaTIRED]

this is exactly what rape culture is. this man literally is defending his wife against someone who sexuaIIy assaulted her and the crowd is upset at him instead of the predator. y’all would rather have comfort than justice.

[ModernGurlz @ModernGurlzz]

ppl on the internet need to understand that you are not entitled to every single thing that you want & it is not an “injustice” that you can’t afford a pretty purse made by an independent artist

[♊️ @itsmeyourfavx]

my hot take is, if you actively date a man knowing he has a questionable past with women and has treated past women badly, it’s 100% because deep down you believe you’re better/different than the women before you.
