bra fitting women are so funny because i went into a brassiere store and was having some difficulty with sizing and asked for help. the lady studied my boobs in the bra, nodded, and said to herself “large but they used to be much larger.” and got me a bra that fit perfectly. it was like she understood the spirit of my boobs
UGX 196 billion in the current budget is allocated for donations to top government officials. Meanwhile, the pay for medical interns amounts to UGX 28 billion, yet it is not included in the budget. This means that if the funds allocated for donations were redirected to medical interns, they would be enough to pay them seven times their current salary.
I love transparency like this (we’re not owed it) because it highlights how episodic life is. It’s not this linear straight, perfectly formed line, rather a series of seasons, peaks and troughs, spins, dives, and lulls. It’s antithetical to what we’re taught in fairytales and wider media. And that’s just fine.
At 34 my first marriage ended, left my job to change careers and go back to school, moves to a different city with no support network.
5 years later at 39 I’ve found family in friends, call London my home, working on my first high end TV job, and found love again. What an arc.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
Soy enfermera. Cuando nacio mi hijo deje de trabajar, por sugerencia de mi marido, para poder estar más con el bebé y que no lo dejáramos a cuidado de algún desconocido.
Cuando me di cuenta ya habían pasado 3 años y estaba embarazada del segundo.
Hace meses estuve muy engripada, pero como estaba sola con mi niño que es un terremoto no podía descansar bien.
Un fin de semana en el que estuve engripada mi marido se "encargo" del niño y de la casa, bueno encargarse.. básicamente dejo todo lo que usó en la pileta y lavadora y una vez que me levanté tuve que ocuparme de eso.
Cuando le reclamé, me reprochó que lo único que tengo que hacer es encargarme de la casa y de los niños y que el es quien paga, así que tenía que aceptar que el no haga nada.
De esto pasaron 6 meses ya.
Ahora que mi bebé nació, y coincidiendo que mi hijo empezó kinder, he dejado mi currículum en varios hospitales y geriátricos sin decirle a mi esposo.
Ahora las tareas tendrán que ser a medias, las cuentas tendrán que ser a medias, el cuidado tendrá que ser a medias, o habrá división de bienes y custodia compartida.
Esa humillación me dolió demasiado.
FIFA rejecting Haiti’s jersey’s for being “too political” while allowing Israel to play, & the US to host World Cup (while denying visas, restricting entrance, banning Iranian players from staying in country) is a selective, targeted invocation of their “neutrality” policies.
maturing is realizing none of us are easy to be with. It's about who's willing to stay committed to understanding you and actually wants to grow with you
You should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say
By all means, have Principles and Standards.
I’m gonna be real alot of you don’t think enough. When girls say that “no one told us motherhood was hard” I’m like baby… you have never thought of all the things your parents had to do for you? You never once were like I don’t wanna sacrifice all that? Like BE OBSERVANT,
