this is actually my biggest issue with dating as whole. whole routine thrown off, habits disrupted, discipline tested just because you want to spend quality time with someone lol
my mom once told me “accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others” and that shit is real.
After living with a ngga i realized i was not built for a real committed relationship rn. nggas like to be catered to too & tbh at 22 i rather do my make up & take pictures for my ig. Bye
She was a 25 year old lawyer in Ayacucho, Peru when her boyfriend attacked her in a hotel in July 2015. The security cameras captured everything. Him chasing her. Dragging her by the hair. Her screaming for help while hotel staff tried to intervene. The court watched the footage.
Then sentenced him to one year suspended for minor injuries. The more serious charges - dropped. She refused to accept it. She went public. Put her name and her face to everything. Took the fight to the media, to the courts, to the streets. On August 13 2016 half a million Peruvians marched through Lima. The largest demonstration in the history of Peru. Led by her.
The appeals court threw out the original verdict. He was retried. Convicted of attempted f3micide. Sentenced to 11 years in prison. She went on to become a member of Congress. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Her name is Arlette Contreras. And she was just getting started.
the fact that she's given so much and has not run out of money really puts into perspective how the arguments against a wealth tax on billionaires are just bs
Even if you don’t live in NYC, please retweet this and get the word out so that the ppl in YOUR city also learn that they too can have politicians who get things done if they mobilize and vote socialist in other elections! 🗣️
SERIOUS QUESTION: You don’t find it weird that not a single billionaire wants to end world poverty ?? Doesn’t it strike you as bizarre that no one with that kind of wealth wants to be the hero who actually solves the world’s biggest problems when they literally could ?? Isn’t that suspicious ??
Actually, requiring Doctor’s notes to excuse sick days is inherently classist in a country without universal healthcare, and it is wild how little that is discussed.
ben & jerry (ben cohen & jerry greenfield) tried to boycott their ice cream from being sold in israel, so unilever went behind their back and sold a portion of the company to an israeli licensee against their wishes. israel is selling ben & jerry's through corporate domination
My childhood friend died from sickle cell disease. She took her last breath right in front of me when we were only 13 years old. Knowing that a cure is now changing lives fills my heart with joy. May future generations never have to endure what so many families have suffered.
