Yall see how you immediately kick into surveillance mode when the faster and easier solution would’ve just been to honk at her before she got in her car instead of watching her forget the child and start to drive away?
Elephant beef is DEEP lmfao. I just got to do a case study on elephant communication for one of my classes. The went into the field and recorded elephant calls made from two neighboring populations who each had an elder female who for whatever reason didn’t like the other🧵🧵🧵
… so my Black ass, with my 4c hair, doesn’t count as natural hair just because I put flexi rods in it? My hair is discriminated against just the same.
Natural hair is versatile and I don’t care if you think mine “passes.” Allow ALL natural hair to fucking exist peacefully.
This sounds like an issue on the school’s account because if the kid is clearly making an effort to show up as soon as he can and y’all KNOW the arrangement is out of his control why is the school not accommodating him for what he’s missing in those first couple hours?
I have a student who is failing my class cause of attendance. His mom told him he has to take his little brother to school since he bought his own car. Little brother school start at 8:30. Ours at 7:15.
She stays home.
Some of these kids have absolutely horrible parents. I…
A good portion of the generally negative attitude attributed to Black people in the South for being “lazy” or “slow” has much to do with the hookworm epidemic
One of the saddest euthanasias I’ve ever participated in was with a client at my job who was part of a group of women like this. She had an old Pekingese and she would take him with her to the park and they’d meet her girlfriends and their Pekingese pups like every Sunday 🧵
But today, the flowers in the park have bloomed, and the woman is back. Same old faithful purple gilet, but a brand new puppy in tow. She looked so happy to be back with her friends, that I found myself welling up. The flowers, the chatter, the pup. How precious. Made my day. 3/3
Had a Black client i needed to sign a treatment plan for her pup, she accidentally signed her name with “MD” at the end & apologized like “omg Im so used to writing my signature for work I didn’t mean to”
I just smiled at her like “respectfully ma’am, write that shit everywhere”
Nobody:
Y’all: I’m so glad these geezers are embracing their OLD ass passions at their BIG age. Sigh. It’s inspiring to be so OLD AND DECREPIT and still want to make music. I too and 30 and would never but I’m glad these elders are embracing their ancestral craft
I saw her last week and she was on her way to get another one, a boy who was like 8 weeks old. She said the girls and the pups all hang out at her house now too 😭 made my entire week.
A month later her name pops up on the schedule and in she walks with a new Pekingese puppy, a girl this time. With the biggest smile on her face 😭 said the girls got it for her.
That puppy is now 5 months old.
Now if I tell yall no respected or accredited zoo will ever have their keepers playing footsie with a panther yall gone cuss me out for 40 days and 40 nights?
EVERY SINGLE TIME the aunties from each group would recognize the vocal pattern of the one she didn’t like, and immediately take off in their direction, and the rest of the group had to just follow like here we fuckin go AGAIN
If yall come across this account there are a handful of videos circulating involving beastiality with her dog.
Please block and report and do NOT interact with her
For years these communities would essentially avoid syncing up at the watering hole because whenever they did the aunties would see each other and it was mess every time. Just them.
I learned not to fuck with most of the white moms on twitter when y’all were in my dms a few months back threatening to call CPS on me for giving my son cornrows.
Like as a mother yea I think it’s absolutely fucking bananas that the lady forgot her kid in the cart. I’d LIKE to say I would never. But that isn’t even really the point, there was an easy way to fix this that would have been quicker and built a more foundational relationship in…
If your child has been bad all year that is YOUR fault. You don’t wait until the day they’ve been taught by YOU is meant for gift giving and then telling them they actually don’t qualify because of some shit they prolly don’t remember.
For those interested, there are tons of Elephant live cams where you can watch them in captivity and sometimes in sanctuaries or preserved wild land! Here’s one streaming now from Tembe Elephant Park
I saw her a lot because her dog had a ton of issues toward the end of his life, right before he died she would talk to me about how sad she was because she wouldn’t have her pup to bring along to the girls group anymore, and how those women were all she had after a hard life
Anyway the day he was euthanized, her husband was there and was pretty unsupportive, cold, just kind of ready to get it all over with. The lady however was a mess for obvious reasons. She cried in that room for almost an hour.
Before she left she gave me a tear-stained look—
And said she probably would never go back to the park without her sweet boy. She had already said her goodbyes to the ladies. We hugged and cried and said goodbye.
You won’t find this job because it shouldn’t exist. No respected or accredited zoo is about to have their zookeepers face to face in an enclosure with large cats with her cellphone out and she’s especially not about to be wearing acrylic nails
Hookworm is a parasite that was endemic to the Southern US in the early 1900s due to the climate and sandy loamy soil. They’re typically found in areas near wastewater (think crops and outhouses, night soil, etc.)
They infect folks by crawling up into the soles of bare feet.
Poor mostly Black people in the South were battling hookworm so badly because its symptoms were so varied and so severe that it generally put people out of work for months, pulled children out of school, caused women to lose pregnancies, marriages to end, etc.
Which is important when you consider poverty usually went hand in hand with not owning shoes or having poor quality shoes, exposing the bottoms of your feet to the parasite.
Once inside they travel thru your bloodstream to your lungs where they cause you to cough them up—
Hi in case you haven’t heard me say it enough, raccoons are a vector species for rabies and many other zoonotic illness and they should never be in your home let alone touching and kissing your bare face.
Wildlife are not pets.
Shit was so bad that the Rockefellers launched a whole sanitation campaign to try to eliminate the disease and then just abandoned it after a couple years, never circling back to help rehabilitate/restore health to the people already affected by the parasite
Into your mouth when they’re then swallowed and allowed to enter the GI tract where they stay for years, causing diarrhea, anemia, anorexia, cognitive impairment, hair loss, and even depression.
my hot take is that there need to be more beginner-accessible classes for adults. like i wanna join a ballet class or learn a new instrument but where do you even go for that when you're 27?
Also using this to shamelessly plug myself: if you’re a wildlife biologist, ecologist or research veterinarian and you need a research assistant, HIRE ME.
I’m sick with remote work like camera trap surveillance and currently learning GIS mapping. For vets, I KNOW EVERY PARASITE
I’d even argue this is the opposite of gentle or conscious parenting. This is intentionally violent and manipulative behavior and we see it from mothers all the time.
Videos like this is why I encourage parents to be CONSCIOUS PARENTS because she is gently traumatizing her child in a plethora of ways throughout this video. Girl why did you set up the camera to film this? Children are not vessels for us to empty our emotions into...tf?
My kids just bust in my room dressed up holding sticks and declared that they were fairies here to grant me any wish.
I said okay I wish for a big warm breakfast.
Yall why did my 4yo say “okay so get up and go make some, what’s your wish?”
What’s the number for HR man
Like please shut up lmao they’re 30, it’s cute music and we liked it when we thought they were 21, now that we know they’re millennials it has to be a testament to embracing youth during old age like gimme a fuckin break they grew up watching SpongeBob ffs
If anyone cares about the intersection of art history and public health, here’s a cool Blues song by a Black disabled musician who lived during the hookworm epidemic. It’s unclear whether he actually suffered from the disease himself:
Did yall know that the “rod” of discipline is actually referencing a shepherd’s staff? The passage is encouraging you to be a leader/shepherd to your children, not beat them with weapons.
@seaneejackson4
@YungFeeny
I can’t find this one specifically, but here’s another one done that kinda talks about how they frequently use these sound experiments to study their behavior. It also talks a little about the role of elder females and how they usually carry the “culture” of the group ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Idk what’s worse, the fact that a gaggle of white teenagers with eating disorders are criticizing this mother for the way she feeds her kid, or the fact that people are confusing this little girl with the other chubby black girl currently being exploited by her parents on tik tok
this is straight up child neglect…… corn dogs for breakfast, the plain instant noodles, not a single vegetable or fruit in sight??? i feel so bad for the kid
Who’s that Pokémon? 🦠
It’s hookworm 🪱
Of the phylum Nematoda, these sickly creatures are known to infect primarily carnivores like humans, dogs, and cats, but can sometimes infect rodents and livestock as well.
Now let’s fucking talk about it. 🧵
A mother of one of the children at Uvalde was told her sons were still in the building and literally rushed past SWAT and charged into the building to save them. They’re alive today because of that.
Parents just be minding they business and here comes single and childless twitter to remind us they still ain’t done comparing their lives to ours lmao
I can’t reply to all of y’all but thank you for all the well wishes 💙 we made it back safely and I don’t hold any of this against the entire island, but definitely learned my lesson about Airbnb. Hotels for me from not on
In honor of all the drama surrounding me braiding my son’s hair. Here’s a photo of his new braids I did this morning. He actually sat (with snacks) and let me braid the whole thing in under 20 minutes
Y’all don’t want children y’all want slaves I’m convinced. If you feel entitled to put your hands on another human because they didn’t do what you asked you’re abusive period. But let your husband or wife walk up to you and smack you because you didn’t do what they said.
A lot of y’all are so focused on raising children who aren’t dependent on technology that you’re gonna end up with middle school and high school students who can’t keep up with the digital/technological demands of school and they’re gonna fall behind. Find balance.
@foreverimbetter
Never once said this isn’t the parents fault. Mom is 100% to blame. But the school is not helpless. But IEPs exist for this exact reason, the student is systemically unable to be at school on time for reasons out of his control. Yall really think failing him is the solution?
christians are gonna have to stfu about gay people supposedly shoving their lifestyle in their faces when y’all have no problem preaching your religion to audiences on a moving train when they can’t leave
@dumpstxrfire_
Someone in the comments was like “I’m staying right there and filming until they leave so I have proof for CPS”
Like lmao who asked you to build a case???
Tbh my only issue with people recreating this is the fact that nonblack folks are using the word kanekalon without understanding the weight and significance behind it
@JAYVERSACE
I always tell people if I’m grieving please don’t call or text me just come over and clean up or being me some food. I don’t want nothing else
@PinchiElo
@dirtychaimom
Are y’all missing the part where she threatened to have my child taken away from me because she didn’t understand a hairstyle? They may have been tight on HER scalp because they aren’t meant for HER hair. She should’ve minded her fucking business
