I used to believe in female privilege until I realized that what we consider ‘female privilege’ is actually rooted in sexual objectification and patriarchy. Random kindness in the hopeful exchange for something sexual
You guys don't really know how primitive we are. Do you know it's an anomaly for everyone to be building borehole in their houses?
90% of Nigerians don't know what Central water management is. In 2026.
We have a Ministry of Water Resources, btw.
‘바키(Bakky)’라는 AV회사가 있음. 단순히 예쁜 여자 데려다 야동 찍는 회사가 아니라 범죄를 저지르는 범죄자 집단이었음. 빚에 내몰린 여자들을 데려다 신체포기각서에 싸인하게 하고 싸인하자마자 얼굴 주먹으로 때리며 머리채 끌고 감. 그 상태로 운이 좋으면 윤간이고 물 호스를 생식기에 꽂아서 자궁이 상하게 하거나 직장이 파열되거나 집단폭행으로 사망 직전까지 감.
사장인 쿠리야마 류는 2006년 체포되었는데 재판에서 “저것들�� 다 창녀일 뿐이다.”라며 피해자들을 모독함. 18년의 형기를 마치고 작년에 출소해 트위터와 유튜브 활동을 하고 있음. 모두 신고하고 수익창출 막아서 다시는 여자로 돈 못 벌게 해야 됨😐👎
He only got 8 YEARS in prison. The 18 other males who showed up at her house claimed they were led to believe she wanted a r*pe fantasy and that if she said "no," it meant "yes" and she wanted more.
Those 18 r*pists are walking free because they were "deceived."
I hate that we've taught people, men in particular, that if we like them enough, we'll inconvenience ourselves regularly for them.
Because I am not going to do that.
Nobody has ever made the dark feel as real as old Disney did.
In these films the night isn't an absence of light. It's a color, and someone mixed it by hand…
Disney had its own paint laboratory, built by a woman named Mary Weiser, the first of its kind in animation. Its job was to invent shades that did not exist yet. In the early thirties, when the studio was still making shorts, there were around eighty shades on the shelves. By the time they finished Snow White there were fifteen hundred.
Every one of them went on by hand, cel by cel, and each cel needed hours to dry before it could be photographed.
The Ink and Paint department was almost entirely women. According to the Walt Disney Family Museum, the paints were sometimes named after them, and to have a color carry your name was considered an honour.
So the dark of Bambi's forest, the lamplight in Geppetto's workshop, the blue at Cinderella's attic window: none of it is a filter or a setting or a dimmer turned down. Each is a specific colour that a specific person mixed in a jar, and some of those jars had her name on the label.
That is why these scenes still feel more alive than anything made since. We went from hands, to computers, to AI, and at every step there is a little less of the person left in it…
The author Joanna Maciejewska said it better than anyone: "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."
I’ve had this conversation with a man close to me. He was being terrible to a person simply cause she allowed it. So to this I will say what I said to him… because someone doesn’t have the backbone, self love, respect and esteem you take advantage? That makes you what?
We are writing with heavy hearts to cry out for help.
42 children from Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School, Askira Uba LGA, Borno State were abducted on May 15, 2026. The children include toddlers as young as 2 years old.
Today marks 67 days and our children are still being held in the forests. We have not heard anything about their whereabouts or condition.
We have waited, we have prayed, and we have reported. But up to today, we have not seen concrete action from the Borno State Government under Governor Babagana Zulum to secure their release and bring them home safely.
Our children are in the forest. They are scared, hungry, and in danger. Every day that passes puts their lives at more risk.
We are pleading:
1. Governor Zulum: Please act now. Deploy all necessary resources for the immediate rescue of the 42 Mussa children.
2. Security agencies: We need a coordinated rescue operation urgently.
3. The public and media: Help us amplify this. Do not let our children be forgotten.
We are parents, we are a community, and we are desperate. We cannot do this alone.
Please, help us call on the authorities to act before it is too late. Our children deserve to come home.
Thank you for standing with us.
Sincerely,
Concerned Parents and Community Members of Mussa, Borno State, Nigeria.
We haven’t earned the right to criticise anyone for doing whatever it takes to change their appearance when we refuse to confront why we dehumanise people we consider ugly while ascribing moral virtue, value and human worth to beauty.
I started learning furniture making at Ipaja furniture yard at 30, as the only female apprentice there. People would literally stop and stare at me as I worked, but I didn’t care😂
It was tough, my body complained, my complexion darkened but I adjusted. I’m glad I took that decision.
Meet the Eboh bunk bed, named after my bestie in the third frame.
Eboh means Peace in Idoma language.
Disclaimer: I didn’t make the ladder but the shelves and the metal ottoman was from my workshop.
