Wish others well. Their success will not limit yours.

And what this means is that in the face of state underfunding of education, we have education apartheid by way of lottery.

Basically, if your kid doesn't get into one of the relatively few schools that has access to significant funding in addition to what the state provides...

Does the JCF still stand by the press release it gave right after the shooting?

World champion Oblique Seville returns to the track to win the final heat of the 100m at the JAAA/PUMA Meet #3 in 9.96 (+0.2 m/s) 😳🔥👀😳🔥👀

Seville looked very easy running that sub 10 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When David Marriott said he had spent a career trying to efface his last work, it freed me from feeling obligated to defend every early thought as though it were final. As a scholar, your thinking should develop. 1

Decolonisation is not a thought, it is an active mission for some of us.

17 years ago, in the late hours of 22 May 2009, a fire broke out in a makeshift dormitory at the Armadale Juvenile Correctional Facility in St Ann, #Jamaica. As the fire spread, the wards in the grilled room remained trapped as the key could not be found. When the blaze was extinguished, 5 girls were found dead, and in the days following, 2 more succumbed. They were 15-17 years old. Lest we forget. #Caribbean

[Adley Duncan @DuncanAdley]

No apparent shock from colleague police on the scene. No immediate condemnatory statement from High Command distancing this incident as an outlier. No real sense of alarm other than “well the camera caught this one”.

This sort of conduct doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

[Adley Duncan @DuncanAdley]

What we need to think is how a culture exists where anyone could have felt, in the first place, that this was okay to do.

[Rihanna Crave @RobynsRevenge]

Fun Fact :

Rihanna gave Drake his first #1 with "What's My Name" and it was her 8th #1 at the time.

Years later she gave him his second #1 with "Work", making it her 14th #1 overall.
