Please don’t turn this into a glorified “shes so strong” narrative. No CHILD should be at a protest about her own life. This is SAD, not a story of bravery.
Having to prove you make 3x the rent…in a country that severely underpays its workers…is a scam in and of itself. One of the worst things about applying for apartments imo.
I feel like we’ve all experienced sharing our excitement with a guy and getting a lukewarm response. Make you not even wanna tell them anymore exciting news lol
This is such a genuine question but how do you love and respect someone who behaves like this? How do you feel safe with someone who is this negligent and insensitive..?
“I was at McDonald’s today, and the couple ahead of me ordered and the cashier asked if they were together or seperate and the boyfriend said “together.” That’s the kind of man I want”
Casual sex really ain’t for everybody. Hell, it’s people engaging in casual sex who really don’t have any business doing so but don’t want to admit it to themselves. Not everyone is able to emotionally distance themselves sexually and that’s okay. Be honest witchaself.
This shit is one of the hardest parts about growing up. But the fact that you’re able to see and pinpoint that it’s a problem and even wonder if you do it too, puts you a step ahead on unlearning the shit
Drug tests are literally terrible. You gettin drug tested meanwhile the CEO of the job you’re applying for is snorting a line off his secretary’s asscrack as we SPEAK.
Idc what anyone says, kids shouldn’t have access to tiktok and social media like they do. Bring back club penguin n Polly pocket n nem. These kids are exposed to way too much on social media.
Tbh I can’t write papers ahead of time. They aren’t quality papers. The papers I produce a day or hours before it’s due are papers I make A’s on. Sometimes procrastination, is necessary.
“Simply applying to jobs on indeed/LinkedIn isn’t enough”
Okay but let’s unpack why that is. Why ISN’T applying for jobs, LITERALLY posted on job seeking websites….enough…..?!
Anytime a male admits to not wanting Women his age and his reasoning being b/c she’s had “too many life experiences” I know he’s a predator. Why don’t you want someone with the same amount of life experience as you…? Quickly!!!
Black Parents, in honor of The Little Mermaid coming out, let your babies get swimming lessons, get in the pool, and get their hair wet. Research good protective hairstyles and how to care for their hair after the pool, but let them swim and emulate their new Disney Princess❤️
Someone mentioned that maybe the “pandemic babies” are excelling so rapidly b/c parents are actually home to raise and nurture them and now they got me thinkin🤔 b/c that definitely makes sense.
As the “honest friend” I’ve gotten a lot better at just learning to shut the hell up. Folks ain’t tryna hear what they NEED to hear majority of the time and I’d really be wasting my breath speaking it for it to not be followed. I only speak up now when asked.🤷🏾♀️
I disagree with this. If he’s told you he doesn’t want a relationship, but you do, it’s your responsibility to leave him alone. Regardless of what he does or “expects” he told you what was up. You made the choice to stay.
I love the type of compliment that black women give that goes “okay_____??!??” Highlighting a specific body part lmao
“Okay hair?!?!”
“Okay skin?!!??”
“Okay knees?!?!”
“Okay titties?!??”
And we know exactly what it means 😂😂😂
Simone Biles is one of THEE top gymnasts we’ve ever seen, has overcame situations of abuse and other obstacles in her childhood, has defined her own success and found love and is now happily married…
And y’all worried about her hair…..?!
So much dating advice is geared towards how to dodge bullets and walk away….but where’s the accurate dating advice on how to stay and be present when you do come across a good thing? We’re always taught how/when to leave, but not really how to stay.
Did folks going through the Great Depression, know it was the Great Depression as it was happening?
Was it announced that “we are experiencing a Great Depression” or did historians look back on that time years later and declare it as such?
B/c looking at things now…
We don’t talk enough about the luxury of ✨silence✨ when you live alone. It hits so different when the only time a noise is made, is if you’re the one making it.
Pranking Angela Bassett with the “unaliving” of Michael B Jordan when she JUST had to shoot a movie without the main character cus he passed…? That joke was extremely insensitive. Goodness gracious.
Hookup culture would be so much better if males weren’t so emotionally dead. I think more Women would be down for casual hookups…if they were also seen as humans in the process.
We are a generation who have watched our parents and elders give up dreams, and even give up happiness, for work. We’ve watched them sacrifice so much, for so little in return. We’re the generation what wants what we get out of it, to be just as valuable as what we put into it.
Having ADHD is such an expensive condition in the real world. You forget to do one thing, pay one bill, now you got fees to worry about in a world that doesn’t care that your mind moves differently. I’m tired.
I have not been a good partner to every person I’ve dated, and I wish it were more common for folks to admit that. We aren’t all knowing, and we aren’t innocent victims in EVERY situation. We’re too flawed of humans to act like we’re ALWAYS wronged and never do the wrongdoing.
Unrelated but everytime a product booms like this, it reminds me how much humans crave belonging and community. People aren’t buying these cups SOLELY for the benefits of the cup itself. They want to feel like they fit “in” too. They’re buying inclusion.

My therapist has me doin the homework of “is this really mine, or is this from my parents” and BABYYY. It’s crazy how much is still not mine, but what I was raised to believe.
As someone who’s currently struggling with this, it’s the feeling of being behind the version of you that you thought you’d be at this point. Sometimes we’re not comparing ourselves to anyone but the idea of who we thought we’d be at a certain “age” or point in life.
This is such a wack statement. Yes we all have the same 24 hours. But we DONT share the same access to resources, privileges, and care that others have, making this point completely null and void 🙄
I watched the full video and she said that it’s not even about her face, her heart is broken at the amount of males who stood around and did nothing b/c she stands up for people and feels like that energy isn’t reciprocated.
This is a pain SO many Black Women experience smh.
Calling him gay b/c he wasn’t comfortable with being stalked says 2 things.
1) this is exactly how so many men don’t realize they’re a victim of a Woman’s inappropriate behavior b/c male praise any attention they get from women
2) this goes to show how desperate some males are…
I agree with this but i wanna challenge the statement by saying men don’t always provide the accurate communication and reassurance needed to not overthink.
Ain’t nothing wrong with saying “Abortion isn’t for ME” but it’s odd as FACK when women think just because they wouldn’t get an abortion, that NO women should have that access. That is weird. You’re weird. And not the cool kinda weird. You WEIRD weird.
