Quand vous voyez des "Mélanchon" sachez que le Vieux est très haut dans les intentions de vote parce que c'est le signe que ceux qui sont éloignés de la politique et ne sont donc pas assez exposés à cet orthographe de son nom commencent à s'intéresser. Et là ça arrive très tôt 🤌🏿
im sure in a couple years the idea the internet has been pushing that you should go Harder after ppl who try to do good bc “they’re the ones who said they care” (so it’s fair game to attack their character + call everything they’ve ever done fake) will have aged well.
if someone online is trying to convince you of something negative about a person/group, you NEED to go to the source and see it for yourself. what really happened, what actually was said, the context surrounding things, etc. do not play a game of telephone with online strangers
Lewis Hamilton: "I'm here with the Egyptian Red Crescent as they load these boxes containing aid they have prepared to send to Gaza. They went to the Rafah border today, accompanied by their wonderful volunteers. They have more than 70,000 volunteers across Egypt, and over 2,000 people here volunteer every day to make sure these boxes are ready and packed as well as possible. They're fully ready to be
deployed. So we really need to put pressure on Israel to
reopen the crossing from the Palestinian side, because not enough trucks are getting through each day."
"The people in Gaza and Palestine are in such urgent need that they could hardly need this aid more than they do right now, so we really must apply pressure.
And work together to ensure this aid gets there. There is a great deal of it, and this center is just one of several different sites that also contain such wonderful supplies, full of food, medicine, and things that individuals and families in Palestine really need."
they cant say it’s fabricated or that he’s affiliated with anybody. he’s there to see it, he talks to the people there, amplifies their voices, is a witness to their experience, and chips at that criminal state’s PR which they spend millions on. i hope he continues.
this is why it pisses me off when you get f1 twt talking about it being performative or useless etc. very regularly the g*novice deniers will tell you that everything palestinians are saying is fake. him going IN PERSON, with cameras, putting this on his platform matters.
and even if you prefer to keep your reasons to yourself, no one is gonna force you to say them, just like no one is forcing you to engage w these convos online lmao.
nope. you’re free not to think about it. some of us want to improve our relationship with ourselves and break down the impact of these things on our mindset, which is why we have these convos. you have no obligation to do so, and no one is forcing you to.
@IcyHollywood So the convo rly isn’t to point fingers at them without looking at the context. It’s just to be aware of how deep this runs cus it really does creep up on you when one day you wake up and won’t let yourself go out with the hair that grows out your scalp. :/
im a braids warrior but we need to be honest in these convos. theyre not going after braids themselves, it started from a simple truth that is if you only ever interact with your natural hair for the 24h between takedown and your next braid appointment, you should think of why.
@IcyHollywood I have a lot of empathy for all the black women going through it too, and it’s not easy every day. But that’s why if we’re all in this together, it gets easier. It’s seeing another bw be natural at work that made do it, and it’s other bw that taught me how to care for my hair!
Pls spread this info !!!

but I take intentional breaks from braids here and there exactly to avoid this feeling that my hair is only "done" when it's in a style with extensions 🤷🏿♀ bc that feeling creeps up on you QUICK if we're being truthful.
ive known many girls who'd rather not go outside or even go to work if they couldnt get their braid appointment in time, all to avoid being seeing with their natural hair. we gotta be real, that is a problem. and again, I love my French curls, my miracle knots and my knotless.
