Women have an extra hurdle in getting their needs met because of the collective conditioning is that: "good" women are selfless, have very little needs, and their role is simply to meet the needs of other people.
Overheard some dude on the train venting about his work colleagues and he said one guy "isn't even worth a rub, let alone a pay check"
New work insult 🔓
My friend gave birth in prison while shackled to the gurney. They let her hold the baby for 45 mins then took her newborn away. She was in there for a non violent offense and never got to see her child again. Her child was adopted out as infants are in high demand.
Kim took a lot of shots so songs like WAP could even exist. She is owed so many flowers from younger women who can openly claim to be sex positive without receiving this type of backlash.
this is all a season; some version of a life we are living. this is a shared experience—an experience we get to choose to not take for granted. every sip, every step; every batted eye, every breath, every head tilt to a sunrise.

someone withholding their attention and affection in order to have me chase them is a complete turn off for me. always has been. we’re adults - let’s not feign indifference and repress enthusiasm. if there is mutual interest, let’s put in equal effort.
Security tags on cheese and butter in my local shop. As #CostOfLivingCrisis bites get ready for gov to start pushing narratives about ‘heroic’ volunteers & food banks in a bid to frame these as complementary rather than oppositional to govt efforts. Don’t be fooled - 1/PA
some people’s favorite form of escapism is through other humans. they’re running from their pain by getting lost in another human. when that human is no longer a reliable distraction from their internal discomfort, they run and are off to the next one.
“It takes a village” isn’t just about children
It takes a villages to raise yourself too. Surround yourself with good people because it’s really hard to do this alone
Deleted tweet by @Deliveroo. Realised that making fun of workers being forced to work for multiple apps at the same time because pay is so bad wasn't the best idea? Multi-apping is incredibly stressful & if workers were paid enough & not denied basic rights, they wouldnt do it!
When getting in relationships, which are completely voluntary, do we not find it bizarre that at times people choose not to give their partners the things that make them feel loved and safe? -thread
Idk who needs to hear this but I PROMISE your life won’t stop if you take a break. A REAL BREAK!!! From work. From your social life. From social media. It’s okay to slow down.
And if you don’t believe that, it may be time to reevaluate the your goals, routines and environment.
