During school breaks child abuse rates significantly increase. A lot of children are left home with predatory relatives or incompetent parents. Throw an extra eye and ear out for any children in your neighborhood. Also a lot of children are gonna
be left home with no food because their parents were dependent on the school feeding program. So if you can, try and give a family you know may be in need some groceries.
Nick and Vanessa need to bring the heat for this reunion. Pls we don’t gaf about the trials you went through as a young couple. We want you to go in on Micah, Irina, Kwame and most of all that trifling, lowly Jackie. Don’t pussyfoot around anything, we want flames.

I don’t like how everyone is tip toeing around Chelsea. She’s an emotional terrorist and she tortured jimmy. Why we acting like she’s a victim?!

See that couple that couldn’t get pregnant due to the wife’s hormonal imbalance so the husband started cooking to help restore her levels and then they started feeding a college kid and now they feed 600 college students and are pregnant!!! That’s what blessings look like🥺
AG Faris Al-Rawi said Govt is considering electronic monitoring bracelets for returning nationals who test negative for Covid-19 or who are fully vaccinated He said persons who don't want to wear the bracelets can enter State quarantine, but those who do can enter home quarantine
That Jamaican girl who lives in Trinidad and makes TikToks is one of favourite creators of all time 😂 her commentary on us is so funny. That video she made about Machel in pan is spot on. He have us in a choke hold for😭
I still can’t get over Netflix/ production’s handling of Lisa assaulting Brian on the ultimatum. While men are less likely to be victims of DV, they do exist. There was no DV warning, no statement and nick and Vanessa didn’t even address it. Male victims matter.
We over season a lot. It works for most of our local Indian and creole dishes but outside of that is pressure. How you putting green seasoning in a pasta dish? 🤮
Listen the details and nuances she puts into these videos are unmatched. Every time I watch one I could identify with the exact scenario. She needs to get her own show and get paid for this.
Watch the stupid comments already. Our ancestors did this to mock plantation owners’ wives as a form of rebellion. “If yuh don’t know something yuh need to shut up a lil bit”
unpopular opinion but carnival fetes should either be strictly drinks inclusive or cooler. yuh see that foolishness with chit bars, that does make me want to mash up everything. Carnival fetes too large and busy for that and yall just end up slowing us and the vibes down
I am genuinely laughing at the fact that TRINIDADIANS are going on about how vaccines are not approved by the United States food and drug administration. They are not the world authority on drugs. Is WHO a joke???
I support womanhood but I don’t support all women. Criticizing another person, who happens to be a woman, for spreading misinformation has nothing to do with being anti feminist.
Don’t forget the theme. Almost 1 out of 3 men report feelings of depression but only an average of 60% seek help. Men are also 4x more likely to commit suicide and 3x more likely to become substance dependent. There’s still a lot of work to be done in men’s mental health
I think the biggest thing to consider when dating someone with a child is that you are not their

priority. They have someone they always have to put first and then everything else could follow
Completely disagree. And the implication here is the only way for artists to completely express themselves is to use explicits. Our dialect is rich enough to get around it and soca, a derivative of calypso, is all about a creative way of portraying a message thru inuedos
I spent the last 3 yrs as a forensic psych consultant developing something really exciting and novel for the TTPS ( as requested) that would significantly impact one area of crime only for it to be benched for the last year because of “lack” of funding. We not serious one bit.
I'm entirely dissatisfied with the way we handle crime. We approach criminality as if it's some novel phenomena. As if there isn't an entire discipline devoted to it. As if there aren't case studies and best practices. I'm convinced there is no real desire to solve crime
Indoctrinate the children! Take them to see/ play kiddies, take them to panyards, let the blue devil scare them a lil, calypso tents, parades, villages, the carnival museum. Community and culture is the only only way forward
Let her loved ones grieve however they need to. Let them question their faith, let them use social media as a catharsis and don’t ‘correct’ what they say. Just share love and support.
Anyway I’m telling y’all if you can afford it, go see burna. It’s completely worth it. That man have some kinda vibes jumbie that overtakes everyone in his audience. And his voice songs even better live. 10/10 would recommend
Got my passport from ttpost yesterday morning, booked the last flight out to MIA, got a pcr and immunization card and now I’m back in the 305. By rights I have to cause it 🙏🏽
I am a psychological data researcher. most of my time is reading articles, verifying, running tests and making observations. I am so careful at my job that it blows my mind to see people take a couple articles, w/in no academic body, to promote a hypothesis. Maybe ize a jackass
The message Americans should be sending to sha carri is you messed up and we have to take the L but we still Stan. Not the rules should be changed because we’re Americans and rules don’t apply to us. She’s a phenomenal athlete but nothing unjustified has happened to her.
I love lost tribe so much for putting band launch back on the avenue, for the people, where it belongs. So tired of carnival being highly commercialized and inaccessible. Also band launch parties are never great parties if we being fr.
Why is it so hard for y’all to realize 2 things can be true? It is true that we needed heavier restrictions. It is also true that these restrictions are going to severely affect some people’s livelihoods. If you can’t see that give up your brain
Story time: (Excuse my grammars and typos)
So a month ago I was alone on the ave, just made it there with one thing on my mind.... to get food and go home ASAP, because honestly I've been getting a heavy bad vibes from the start. when I was getting some coconut water,
Ive studied both victims and perpetrators of DV in T&T. Please take people seriously when they threaten your life or their own life. When they drive furiously during an argument. When they continuously call and message. When they act paranoid. Please don’t wait for the 1st blow.
“Repackaged Indian food”… it’s ok to not like our cuisine but don’t be ignorant and disrespectful. It’s not up for debate that we have the most diverse cuisine in the region and our delicious Indian cuisine is only a subset of it
As Bajan, I can say we definitely aren’t in the Top 3 in the Caribbean. Pls don’t mention Trinidad… it’s literally repackaged Indian food with unnecessary amounts of Chandon Beni, Cumin and Madras so I’d say:
Jamaica🇯🇲
Guyana 🇬🇾
Grenada 🇬🇩
I don’t expect them to be experts by any means but they had time to prepare. If you knew serious topics were gonna be discussed why not at least add an expert or journalist?
I only give this courtesy to vaccine hesitant people. Anti vaxxers have all the info but constantly engage in confirmation bias and like being “different”. Vaccine hesitant people often don’t have all the info or are afraid and need reassurances.
I know a lot of guys on the tl are shocked by how many women on the tl have been raped or assaulted but us speaking out is only half of it. Call out your friends and peers. Listen to us and talk to the younger generation of men. We need your help
What’s killing me is she said before we use our energy to make a change for the better... sis we did. She was posting harmful content and spewing it as fact. Everyone has the right to an opinion but according to ig, if you’re spewing misinformation, you gots to go. Simple
Rel lil bitch behaviour. Let people enjoy themselves. I can’t imagine being sour enough to notice something like this, take out my phone, record and post it. Against the very spirit of carnival.
the rhetoric about the carnival budget so annoying. Yes we have critical sectors that need supporting but you know which sector has not seen virtually any income in 2 years? The entertainment sector. They’re trying to give us some carnival but watch. Can’t please ppl
2017, Irma was on its way and my sister and I were living miami at the time and everywhere was madness. Couldn’t get any flights to leave so my dad found a random flight out of POS at 3 am and came to us. He then drove us to NY for 21 hours. That’s a love like no other.
We’re honouring Father’s this time around!

Did you know that we are currently training bilingual Venezuelan migrants in the rape crisis center so that when migrants call they can speak to someone who understands them? How great is that. Small steps
Everyone EVERYONE deserves due process and justice. It is despicable that in this day and age we have executions going on. We don’t have first and second class citizens. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law
I would just like everyone to know about my experience with
@jhohannails
as I was put in a situation where I felt as if I was treated very unfairly and unprofessionally as a client who was just trying to get a service done.
Thread of my experience
If we speak about culinary excellence. No Caribbean country and I mean none can not cook as well as Barbados. (If you went uwi and only ate at the mount or from somebody food van your opinion does not count here)
I get that costs went up for everyone and that includes service providers but a lot of promoters did not want to listen, they just told themselves ppl will spend. From where? Ppl have been very selective with where they’re spending so ofc your $400 cooler fete won’t cut it
It has billed as the mother of all Carnivals, but many who have hit some of the larger events for Carnival 2023 so far would have noticed that they don’t seem to have the crowds they once commanded.
Read more:
Every foreigner I’ve talked to has told me they cried because they were overwhelmed with emotions for carnival (in a good way) and that warms my heart so much. Im so glad they get to share in the love we have for our culture
It’s simple inno you could have a preference without bashing those outside of your preference. Nobody tryna infringe on your right to have a preference lmao nobody cares. There’s just no need for all ah dat
Idc taking your time to go through a thread on people’s outfits for an event to publicly make fun of them is big loser energy. Especially if you’re older. Just weird and bitter
Proud moment. First published work in psych (with a partner). It was on the mentally ill and the right to refuse treatment. Hopefully a lot more to come 🙏🏽
This thread is beautiful btw. She didn’t resort to disrespecting anyone, addressed the issue at hand and took personal responsibility and for that probably gained new clients. 10/10 would recommend
Hi guys, I am not currently working but I can’t find the tweet to respond to. I’m assuming from my captions on instagram it may seem like i’m working considering it says, “book june” but i’ve been doing that even throughout may, its a standard caption.
I can’t speak to someone of another race’s experiences but Ik most of us have been educated on our country’s Indian history. You can argue that it hasn’t been effective in bridging the cultural divide but Ik way more about my Indian heritage than I do my African and that hurts
Being Indian was never accepted by the wider nation.
Being Indian was never representative of Caribbean/Trinidadian culture and was dismissed - to this day it is still dismissed.
We do not learn about Indian culture in our schools and even if we do, it's 1 page
My short answer to this is they won’t have a choice. I don’t believe local companies can afford to fill all their positions with just men. Some may get by but at large women in TT significantly contribute to our labor force. If we want leave we have the power to get it.
Good luck getting hired as a woman then. LOL. Why would any company hire you over a man when they know every month they gonna lose up to 3-4 days of productivity? 🤔
When we start back partying I am begging please can we make sure and organize more shuttles to and from parties down chag. I don’t want no traffic to slow me down. After a year and a half on no traffic I cannot go back!
