@beemyli The strongest men aren't the ones who tell boys what they should love. They're the ones who make sure boys never have to hide what they already love. ❤️
Most men are gay. They're literally gay. Because they don't really like us women. Our natural bodies, they think it's gross. Our interests, they think it's cringe. Spending time with us, they think it's like a responsibility. And if a guy has a girlfriend, and instead of date night with her, he genuinely wants to be with the boys, and he feels it's a punishment that he can't spend time with his boys, he doesn't really like her. So I genuinely think most men are gay but they haven't figured it out because being gay is like also too feminine for them and they don't like feminine things.
Chicago Rapper, Vic Mensa defends Megan Thee Stallion from misogynistic men still blaming her for Tory Lanez's downfall:
"I feel like Megan Thee Stallion is a microcosm for misogynoir at large. Someone recently told me she can't keep trying to ruin people's lives. By getting shot? cheated on? How you ruin somebody's life by them shooting you? How could you do this to me? You ran your body directly into my bullets.
Male artists are celebrated for shooting people. On the other hand, female artists are denigrated for getting shot. Let a rapper kill somebody, they sails through the goddamn roof."
Unpopular opinion:
If I knew my unborn child would have a severe disability that would require lifelong intensive care, I would seriously consider termination.
Not because I don't value disabled people. Not because I lack compassion but because love alone doesn't provide specialized healthcare, financial resources, emotional resilience, or round-the-clock caregiving.
Raising a child with profound disabilities can demand sacrifices that affect parents, siblings, and the child themselves.
People should be allowed to have honest conversations about whether they are truly prepared for that responsibility without being shamed for it.
AS THE WORLD IS ONCE AGAIN DISTRACTED BY THE LAUNCH NARRATIVE AND WAR, WE STILL HAVE OUR MOST IMPORTANT BRINGS ON THE PLANET STILL BEING ABDUCTED!! DO NOT ALL THE DISTRACTION FROM THE TRAFFICKERS AND PEDOPHILES GO AWAY! ITS STILL HAPPENING!!
You learn very quickly just because some people have marginalized identities doesn't mean they've done the work to unlearn how their oppression functions. They're gay, but don't have queer politics. Like black folk who uphold white supremacy, or women who are patriarchal princesses lol
She was 10 when she was taken and locked in a windowless cellar. For 3,096 days, she survived by imagining her 18-year-old self coming back to rescue her — and one day, she did.
On March 2, 1998, Natascha Kampusch left her home in Vienna, Austria, walking to school as usual. A man near a white van grabbed her and drove her away within seconds. She vanished, and one of Austria’s largest searches began. Police questioned hundreds of people, including the man responsible, but he convinced them he was innocent, and they moved on.
He had built a hidden concrete cell beneath his house — soundproof, windowless, barely five square meters. There, Natascha spent years in isolation. He controlled food, sleep, and every movement. He used fear and manipulation, trying to convince her the outside world was more dangerous than captivity. Days blurred into years.
At 12, overwhelmed by loneliness, she created a survival plan in her mind. She imagined her 18-year-old self promising to come back and save her. That promise became her anchor. Through isolation, hunger, and constant fear, she held on to that future version of herself.
As she grew older, she was sometimes allowed outside under supervision, but the psychological control remained strong. Still, she never forgot her promise.
On August 23, 2006, after 3,096 days, she was vacuuming a car outside when her captor stepped away to take a phone call. For the first time, he wasn’t watching. She dropped everything and ran. She climbed fences, knocked on doors, and finally someone called the police. She was free — exactly at 18, just as she had promised herself years earlier.
Her survival shocked the world. She later explained that imagining her future self helped her endure the darkest moments. It wasn’t just physical endurance — it was mental resilience.
She survived by believing in a version of herself that didn’t exist yet… and then she became her.
I worked 20 years for a child sex trafficking rescue group. I want you to know this:
90% of Lost Children Are Found Within 30 Minutes.
That statistic should both comfort you and wake you up.
Most lost children are found quickly. But the ones who aren’t? They usually made one mistake.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth:
It’s often the exact thing most parents teach them.
We tell our kids:
“If you get lost, come find me.”
It sounds logical. It sounds empowering.
It’s WRONG!
The Mistake Most Lost Children Make:
When children realize they’re separated, they do three things almost automatically:
They panic.
They wander.
They try to find you.
Every step makes them harder to locate.
From a search standpoint, movement creates chaos.
Parents retrace their steps.
Security scans zones.
Staff lock down areas.
Search works best when movement stops.
When a child keeps walking, they move outside the original search radius. Helpers are looking where they were last seen — not where they’ve wandered.
Stillness increases probability.
Movement expands the problem.
The first lesson is not “go find me.”
It’s this:
Stop. Stay. Yell.
Why Stillness Wins:
Think like a search team.
If a child stays put:
Parents can retrace steps.
Security can scan systematically.
Helpers converge to one fixed location.
The search radius remains small.
If a child keeps moving:
The search area expands.
Adults pass each other.
Missed connections multiply.
Minutes stretch into hours.
Stillness keeps the math on your side.
Teach Them Who to Approach:
The second mistake we make as parents?
We say, “Find an adult.”
Not any adult. Not the nearest stranger. Children need a filter.
Teach them to look for, if at all possible:
A mother with children.
Caregivers who already have kids with them are statistically among the safest people to approach in public settings. They are visible, stationary, and more likely to engage quickly.
It’s a clear, concrete instruction.
Children don’t process vague categories like “safe adult.”
They process visuals.
“Find a mom with kids” is visual.
A Phone Only Helps If the Number Is Known:
We often assume phones solve everything.
They don’t — unless your child can use one. Even young children can memorize a 10-digit phone number with repetition.
But you must train it.
Practice it like a song.
Sing it in the car.
Chant it at bedtime.
Turn it into rhythm.
Repetition becomes recall.
In an emergency, recall matters more than theory.
The Code Word Rule:
One more layer of protection.
Choose a private family code word.
Something only your household knows.
If someone approaches and says:
“Your mom sent me.”
Your child asks:
“What’s the code word?”
No word.
No go.
This simple rule eliminates manipulation attempts instantly.
It gives your child agency without requiring them to evaluate character.
Real Safety Is Training — Not Luck!
We don’t get safer by hoping.
We get safer by practicing.
Teach:
• Phone number
• Code word
• Stop, stay, yell
• Find a mom with kids
Multiple skills.
Simple instructions.
Clear visuals.
Five minutes of training can replace hours of panic. This isn’t about fear. It’s about preparation.
Because when a child gets separated, the clock starts.
And what they do in the first minute determines what the next thirty look like.
That’s real protection.
.@JamesTalarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.
Your boss cares about politics. Your landlord cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics.
And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”
Instead of saying “women slept their way to the top”, rather say “men withhold promotions and leverage power until they receive sexual favors”.
That’s the real truth of the matter.
