My philosophy is what @DijahSB said, if I like you, you a victim of capitalism, if we be beefing you a bald headed broke ass bitch 🤷🏾‍♀️

when you realize that routines are actually rituals of devotion to yourself and your dreams, they become much easier to follow.

While Jabari Stephen Brown (the pilot who won the MrBeast challenge) was initially detained by authorities in Paraguay, he was quickly released by order of prosecutors after they found no evidence of his involvement in the drug smuggling... now show pictures of the captain who flew the plane.. I wanna see something 🤔

having strong pattern recognition is a weird experience. you spend half your time being told you’re paranoid and the other half being asked how you knew.

After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.

My card declined with an overflowing cart of groceries and 3 children bc he had cancelled it after an argument. I had no other money, just had to leave the groceries. It’s terrifying to know a man has that much control. Fuck all the trad wife propaganda. It’s so scary.

Do yall have kids? How old are they?

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

@anomalousteacup My daughter learned to say something back because I taught her how to do so. She doesn’t accept the disrespect because she knows I’m going to defend her when she says something.

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

There’s a parenting struggle I have that I never really talk about (bc I don’t think ppl are honest enough about it).

Kids, boys especially, tend to communicate primarily through hostile humor (jokes that in any other context are demeaning or critical).

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

@thesailorgarnet I don’t enable the behavior, which is why she felt empowered to shut it down. I’m also the parent who will say something to children when I se either happening. My thread is about a larger commitment to changing the behavior.

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

@TurquoiseBlu_ Over it! 😂

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

I asked my daughter how she would describe me if I went missing.

Everything was fine-ish until she got to, “She gotta small waist and a big body. Her booty goes dun (miming my back) duuuun (miming a big half circle like the letter b). 😂😂😂😂

I’m tired of parenting.

@Tamcomplain Like…c’mon!!!! 😂 The police officer cannot put that on the poster!

Carl Jung was right when he wrote that if a man does not face his shadow by age 35 he will not improve. He will calcify. His defense will become his personality.

I have donated to every HBCU!

@JaiEliana She is, and it makes me proud. She’s able to do at 11 things that took me my whole life to learn.

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

@feisty_la My daughter is one of those, and so was I. Both of us adapted because that was the expectation, but I never really embraced that style, and I don’t engage in it now. It actually pisses me off when ppl do it to others, but bc my POV on it is “sensitive,” I just disengage.

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

Yesterday, she basically said, “It’s not funny. I don’t like it. And, no, I will not appease you or your desires for the disrespect.” I was proud of her, but at the same time, there’s a loneliness that comes w/not going along with being the butt of the “joke.”

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

I’ve watched her adapt to it (it can be called growth), but I’m wondering if it’s growth or just another person using a hurtful communication style to fit in/survive.

Her choosing to not laugh it off yesterday is making me question why we encourage kids to pretend it’s okay.
