people have their favourites and you might not be one of them. you could have a great relationship with someone, always show up for them, give your best and even go out of your way to make them feel special.. yet still not be the person they cherish most. it stings at first but that’s life. people love differently and their affection is not always tied to effort, loyalty or consistency. sometimes the person they adore isn’t doing half of what you do but that’s not your cue to compete for a place in someone's heart. it’s your cue to rest, remain genuine and understand that being yourself is far more rewarding than being someone’s favourite. stay where your presence is valued, your efforts are appreciated, and your absence is felt.

I know I like someone when I start wanting them around even when I’m not in the mood for people. Like I could be enjoying my alone time, but their presence still feels welcome, not intrusive.

I want to tell them random parts of my day, even the boring ones not because I need attention, but because I genuinely want them to know my world. I also find myself more relaxed around them. I don’t overthink being too much, I just show up as I am. No pressure to impress, no overthinking every word. And somehow, even in silence, it doesn’t feel awkward. That’s usually when I realize I like them.

My shyness has this exception where if someone is as shy as i am or even more, i suddenly develop another personality that's extremely extroverted just to save the other person.

Your tattoo ink doesn't stay in your skin. It breaks apart and travels through your body to your lymph nodes, where it settles for life. And in the US, nobody has ever tested what's actually in it.

Lund University in Sweden studied 5,695 people for this one. They controlled for sun exposure, tanning beds, skin type, smoking, income. After stripping out all those variables, people with tattoos still had a 29% higher risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Mixed black and colored ink pushed that number to 38%. People who'd had their tattoos for 10 to 15 years had 67% higher risk.

Only 30% of the melanomas showed up where the tattoo actually was. The other 70% appeared on completely different parts of the body. The ink is traveling through the body, doing damage far from where it was injected.

Your immune system is the reason. It treats tattoo ink like an invader. White blood cells swallow the particles and try to drag them to your lymph nodes (small filters spread throughout your body that help fight infections). But the particles never leave. They just sit there. A research team in France used X-ray imaging on donated human bodies and confirmed tattoo pigments stay lodged in the lymph nodes permanently. A separate 2025 study then found this causes inflammation in the lymph nodes for months, and it actually weakened the body's response to COVID vaccines.

Black tattoo ink is loaded with the same compounds found in coal tar and cigarette smoke. The World Health Organization classifies these as cancer-causing. Colored inks use pigments that break down into different cancer-causing compounds when they get hit by sunlight or during laser tattoo removal. Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and chromium show up across almost every ink color.

The EU saw the data and in January 2022 restricted over 4,000 chemicals in tattoo ink across all 27 member states. The FDA has the authority to do the same thing. They have never used it. No tattoo ink sold in America has ever been FDA-approved for injection into human skin. The only guidance the agency has issued was in 2024, and it covered bacteria in ink bottles, not the cancer-causing chemicals in the ink itself.

82 million Americans have at least one tattoo, roughly 1 in 3 adults. Every one of them has permanent, untested chemical deposits sitting in their lymph nodes right now. The EU already decided those chemicals were too dangerous to leave on the market.

The research behind this is wild. Your sperm carries a set of instructions that tell your genes when to turn on and off. A Duke University study found that THC rewrites those instructions. The more weed in your system, the bigger the changes. It goes straight for the genes your future embryo needs in its first week of life.

I had to read the "day 3 crash" part twice. For the first three days after fertilization, an embryo runs entirely on the mother's DNA. Day 3, the father's genes switch on. If those genes carry cannabis damage, the embryo just stops growing. Fertility doctors see this happen in their labs: embryos that fertilized fine and looked healthy on day 2 go completely still by day 5.

Boston University tracked 1,535 couples trying to have a baby. Men who smoked weed once a week or more doubled their partner's miscarriage risk. That number held up even when the woman herself never touched cannabis. And the miscarriages clustered in the first 8 weeks, right when the father's damaged DNA would be doing the most harm.

Duke also found that the specific genes THC alters in sperm overlap with genes linked to autism. One of those genes, called DLGAP2, helps brain cells communicate with each other. It was changed in cannabis users' sperm. When researchers bred THC-exposed male rats and checked their offspring, the same altered gene pattern showed up in the pups' brains. The damage crossed a generation.

Weed has gotten way stronger over the last 30 years. THC content was about 4% in the 1990s but nearly quadrupled to 15% by 2018, and modern dispensary strains regularly sit at 20-30%. Concentrates go up to 95%.

Quitting for about 11 weeks (one full cycle of sperm production) reverses some of the DNA changes. Not all of them. Duke's lead researcher says men should stop at least 6 months before trying for a baby. Half of your kid's genetic blueprint comes from you, and right now, THC is editing that blueprint before conception even happens.

Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world, yet the Youth are lying to one another that they shouldn’t love if they are broke.

Ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone discovered in the mid-1970’s, plays a critical role in the treatment of a wide range of parasitic diseases in humans as well as in veterinary practice. Over the past decade, researchers have explored repurposing this molecule as an anticancer agent following the 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery of ivermectin by a researcher who pioneered the concept of looking for uses beyond antibiotics for biological activity in microorganisms. @theNCI is currently funding intramural research for this purpose.

There are professions where personal, religious and moral biases must stop at the door deliberately and healthcare is one of them. If you can’t separate evidence based care from your prejudices then you shouldn’t be making decisions about anyone’s health.

I really want the football world to recognize my friend IFUNANYANWANGENE @nanyah_music who lost her life yesterday due to a snake bite. She performed both Manchester United song and Champions League song. She also got a gig from @Heineken to perform in the next season @ChampionsLeague ads after the viral Champions League song that went viral across all social media platforms.

Ngl if you're not ready to consider my feelings in almost everything you do, it won’t work for me because i’m very considerate, i never want the person i love to feel like i dont & i never want to love someone and not feel loved. consideration is up there with loyalty if you ask me.
