🚨#BREAKING: A 13-year-old girl is being praised as a hero after she defended her mom from an abusive man, slicing him in the face with a “samurai” sword in Tennessee.

The teenager was in her bedroom when she heard her mother screaming for help.

When she rushed out, she says her mother’s ex-boyfriend was choking her.

The young girl say she grabbed a decorative sword off the wall in an attempt to stop the attack.

Deputies report the ex-boyfriend lunged toward the teen and she swung the sword slicing his face so severely, he had to be airlifted to a hospital for treatment of his injuries.

The girl’s mother says she has always taught her daughter to protect herself and the people she loves.

WHAT A BADASS!!!!!!!!!!

So my dad has been ending every phone call with "stay dangerous" instead of "goodbye" for like six months now. We all thought he was just being a weird dad. Turns out he's been mishearing the ending of a podcast he listens to. The host says "stay curious" but my dad is slightly deaf in one ear. He's been going around telling his coworkers, my grandmother, and apparently his DOCTOR to "stay dangerous" this entire time. My mom only found out because his doctor called to check if everything was okay at home. My dad has now decided he likes his version better and refuses to stop. Yesterday he told a nun to stay dangerous.

Saying “I love you” and talking about a future with your partner, then abruptly leaving their life, is one of the cruelest things you can do to another human being.

And no, your childhood trauma doesn’t justify blindsiding someone who trusted you.

I was genuinely not expecting this lmao

I'm an eldest daughter which means I'm automatically irritated by your incompetence because l was never given room to be imcompetent. I won't be elaborating. The daughters who know get it.

LET US PRAY 🙏🏾

By they authority vested in me according to Luke 10:19:

- I renounce and cancel every careless word I have spoken over my life, even in jest.
- I renounce every agreement I have made with death, lack, failure, or destruction.
- I also reject and break agreement with every negative word, curse, or pronouncement spoken over me by others.
- I align myself with the truth of God over my life, and I submit my tongue and my future to Him who gives life.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN

My mom is 70. Lives alone. Neighbor came over last week. Said “Your mom okay? I haven’t seen her in days.” I went to check. Found her on the floor. Fell. Couldn’t get up. Been there three days. Dehydrated. Scared. Alone. I asked why she didn’t call. She said “My phone was on the table. I couldn’t reach it.” The neighbor said “I should’ve checked sooner. I’m sorry.” Got mom to the hospital. She recovered. The neighbor visited every day. Brought flowers. Sat with her. When mom came home the neighbor said “I’m checking on you daily now. Whether you like it or not.” Every morning. 9 AM. Knocks on the door. Makes sure mom’s okay. Brings her coffee. Talks. Cares. Mom’s not alone anymore. Because a neighbor paid attention. Noticed an absence. Checked. I thanked her. She said “That’s what neighbors do. We look out for each other.” I think about those three days. Mom on the floor. Nobody coming. I think about what would’ve happened. Without this neighbor. Who noticed. Who cared. Sometimes being saved looks like someone knocking on your door.

I was in line at the bookstore & the guy behind me was talking shit about every woman in line "her boobs are out..." "those leggings are tight" "she's looking like a hooker" so I whispered "the guy behind us is looking at people's boobs" and my aunt faces the guy & says "this guy is looking at women's boobs??"…every woman in line looked at him with disgust, he got embarrassed and left... BRING BACK PUBLIC SHAMING!

A female 18-wheeler driver speaks out after a school bus driver risked the lives of all the children and her own by nearly causing her to crash a truck carrying a 77,000-pound load. 🚛

‘As a professional driver, safety is always my top priority. Situations like this are a reminder that every decision we make behind the wheel matters.’

your twenties are for two things: buying fun little drinks & being crushed by the inescapable feeling that everything about you is broken

Most people don’t know how to interact with people with disabilities.

We taught the boys to speak, not stare, and treat them like people first.

GIRLS, WHEN DID OUR LIVES BECOME SO SERIOUS THAT WE STOPPED DOING RANDOM MAKEUP JUST TO TAKE A PHOTO BY THE WINDOW CURTAIN?

[Nicki 🫧🪷 @nickimoraa]

My son came to me angry.
Said his girlfriend was “trying to trap him.”
I asked what he meant.
He told me she was pregnant and keeping it, and he felt like he had no say.
So I asked him a simple question
“Were you protecting yourself?”
Silence.
Then he said, “She told me she was on birth control.”
I nodded slowly.
“And you just… trusted that?”
He got defensive. “Why would she lie about something like that?”
I looked at him and said, “The same reason anyone lies when they want control over an outcome.”
He didn’t like that answer.
But I didn’t stop there.
“Let me be clear,” I said. “If she lied, that’s wrong. But you also handed over your responsibility and hoped for the best.”
He went quiet.
Because the truth is, accountability isn’t one-sided.
You don’t get to ignore your role just because someone else made a worse decision.
A child is here now.
And whether he likes how it happened or not…
His choices still played a part in creating that reality.

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

it’s actually healthy when people dislike you, that means you’re not a people pleaser and you have boundaries. a lot of your problems come from not putting people in their place the first time they try you. be careful what you tolerate. you're teaching people how to treat you.

Just got out of an Uber on the way to LAX, headed to New York

Driver asks where I’m going, I say NYC

He goes, “I’ve got a crazy story for you”

He’s originally from Africa, moved to London, then moved to New York in the 90s for school

Young, broke, living in Manhattan

Ends up becoming close with his neighbor, older Jewish woman. They’d talk all the time.

She kept telling him, “You should buy an apartment here”

He laughed it off for years.

One day she’s getting sick and says, “I’ll tell ya what, you can buy the one you live in”

He had no clue she owned it.

Asks what she wants for it.

She says, “Whatever you have.”

He gave her everything. About $20,000.

For a 5 bed apartment in Manhattan

Few years later she passes

He finds out she owned the whole block. No kids, no family.

Just decided to sell it to him because she enjoyed him as a neighbor

I ask him what he’s doing out in LA

He tells me he’s visiting his two daughters at UCLA, one pre med and the other in medical school

Says his daughters love going back to New York to visit with friends and staying in that apartment, same place where it all started

Whole trajectory of his life changed off that one decision

As I’m getting out he goes:

“If you turn off social media and the news, you realize the world’s actually a pretty good place, and there’s a lot of really good people out there”

Whole lot of truth in that
