Wait until he finds out that physicians once classified the desire of enslaved Africans to escape slavery as a mental illness called drapetomania, and prescribed whipping and amputation as treatment.
@Freyy_is It's not x, but y.
Not this partial thought. Not this fragment. Not this half idea.
It's the "quietly" doing any action.
It's the double space between each line of a post.
Not this. Not that. Not the other.
It's all of it. And the worst part? It's EVERYWHERE.
Living alone is such a beautiful experience I hope most people get to experience especially in their 20s. The beauty of not having to negotiate your space with anyone else, finding stuff exactly how you left them, discovering your style, girl dinner etc. Absolutely peak 🤌🏼
I'm catching up on Abbott Elementary and there's a scene where the class is unruly and the teacher's aide tells Janine that all the kids will be quiet if she holds up a picture of Paul Walter Hauser as Richard Jewell so she does and they do haha
just because you’re dating a woman, doesn’t mean they’re inherently good or will treat you well. literally started seeing them as humans capable of doing harm and not “angels”
i hate how physical touch as a love language gets reduced to sex and kissing when it's more like... handholding, laying your head on their shoulder, putting your legs over their lap, tracing their palm, tucking your feet under their thighs. just touching for touching's sake.
james baldwin was so right when he said you think you’re alone and then you pick up a book and realise someone else has felt the same way as you and managed to find a language for it. the realest shit
I just saw a post where a Girl said, A random kid just hugged me at the mall. He must have been about 8. He gave me a tight hug, smiled at me, said "thank you", and walked away.
Me to his mom: Wow, you have a really friendly kid.
Boy's mom: *visbly shocked* Uhm... no. He's autistic. He doesn't let just anyone near him. The last time he did that, it was to my sister, and she turned out to be pregnant. Anyway, I apologize on my son's behalf, bye now.
Me:
You can literally have the worst week of your life and then a few days later, life becomes so beautiful again and you feel happier than ever.
Remember this when you're going through a rough patch. It will pass. Give it time. God is on your side.
A female led, Somali students, coming-of-age sit-com?!?! 😍🤩 I can already tell it’s gonna be hilarious 😄😭
Oh, I will never forgive you guys if we let this flop as a community. I’m SAT!!
@justmercy__ The truth is, love shouldn’t make you feel small, uncomfortable, or like you have to beg to be seen. The moment you were sitting on that cold chair, deep down, you already knew you deserve better than that.
Your entire life can really change in a year. You just gotta love yourself enough to know you deserve more, be brave enough to demand more, and be disciplined enough to actually work for more. You can do it. You got this.
