If $15/hr min wage bothers you because it's more/ the same or "too close to" what you're making, direct that anger to your bosses who are underpaying you, not to other people who are also underpaid.
This is probably a silly question but... what's the natural way sheep's bodies are meant to get rid of the wool? Like without humans intervening were they just like growing wool constantly until they can't move and d*e?
The worst thing is realizing that someone isn't a bad friend, they're a bad friend to you, specifically.
Like wow apparently you're capable of not being an asshole to people who are not me? Cool cool.
Individualism + celeb worship will have people saying "Well its her money. Y'all are jealous" to this as if the Earth isn't literally melting off the bone.
The fact that there's SEVERAL stories of JLo going behind her husbands and taking the tips they gave service workers to give them less money is insane like WHAT is the reason??????
My favorite thing about Bring it On is that they did the whole thing of this team of white girls who have been winning for years based on black women's work & now they're like "We're gonna do it 100% on our own, with our OWN work"
And those bitches lost. LMFAO
Celebrities will film themselves giving each other stacks of money, cars and jewelry for other rich people's birthdays then come on here tweeting out Gofundme links for charities & mutual aid requests asking us to donate lmaooooooooooo
Y’all: “I can help you not be poor anymore it’s easy.”
“By fighting to increase wages?”
“No”
“Eliminating student debt?”
“No”
“.....”
Y’all: “All you gotta do is live off 3 grains of rice a day & work 90 hours a week. You might be able to go see a movie when you’re 45”
"Glorifying obesity" just code for "Letting fat people think it's okay for them to feel good about themselves even though we're trying reeeeallyy hard to make them ashamed and embarrassed at all times."
You can literally pick any of the CIA's greatest hits and explain it word for word without exaggeration and sound like the most unhinged conspiracy theorist alive.
Americans' ahistorical understanding of the US' racist history runs so deep that being historically accurate will have people believing you're a conspiracy theorist.
Half nie.......Imma hold y'all hand when I say this.
If her GRANDFATHER had a kid and that kid is Glorilla's FATHER then that would make Glorilla her COUSIN.
People think compatibility means "They like all the shows and hobbies i like" and that's half of folks dating problems right there. The goal isn't to date yourself lmfao
My favorite part of this Oscars situation is all the celebs being dragged for pretending to have a moral high ground on slapping with actual abusers in their inner circles 😭
TL just been "This you?"ing people for 48 hours straight 😭😭😭😭
Say what you want about the show, Issa managing to get a show on a major network starring two dark skinned Black women as leads. Neither being ambiguous or biracial. On air for 5 seasons. Was a feat.
My current favorite Kate theory is that she left William and nobody can find her which is why they can’t produce any recent photo or video of her and have to use AI. So I’m going with that, she Gone Girl’d him.
Breaking | Israeli tanks are surrounding and firing upon hundreds of Palestinians at the Al-Nabulsi roundabout in western Gaza as they await aid convoys.
The specifics of cosigning aside. ANY TIME and I do mean ANY TIME your partner/spouse does something to "teach you a lesson" especially if the lesson was "well you should've done what I said so tough luck" that is a HUGE GLARING RED FLAG.
YOU ARE NOT THEIR CHILD.
I’m sure Nicki didn’t want her address publicized by Kenneth needing to be on the sex offenders registry in California but that problem could have been avoided really easily by her not marrying a sex offender
This here. Folks definitely do not see Black women as vulnerable especially BW who they see as hyper sexualized. It's like when PREGNANT Yung Miami was shot at and people were making jokes about that. They literally cannot see BW as victims
I think since Megan is sexy, confident and a Black woman a lot of people are having trouble seeing her as vulnerable. Thats why theres these memes kiki-ing about her being shot like shes a TV character.
You know Meg is a real person right???
The ruling class is so good at enforcing "Violence is bad" that grown ass adults still rely on this and use it to decontextualize occasional retaliatory violence by victims as if it is equally as bad as the violence repeatedly enacted on them.
Anyway "Hear both sides" just means "I need the man to say he didn't do it so I can comfortably keep supporting them and not believing their accusers and victims... like I was gon do either way" and that's it.
Like so the inconsistency and lack of reliability is specific to me? You're able to follow through on your plans and be there on time for others? Cool, got it.
It's so silly to make solidarity contingent on "Well does that country even like Black people?" Girl, THIS country doesn't like Black people, tf are you even saying
People getting distracted by the "half" part of half niece and not realizing that your grandfather's son is your uncle not your brother. Open the schools back up!
Time for me to be a hater! I just feel like the student loan application was SO simple that it.... wasn't even necessary. That's all info the gov't already has. Like the point of it is to not give aid to people who aren't able to access the form/technology/internet.
Can't wait for Halle to give us the Corinne Bailey Rae vibes I know she has in her. Come through acoustic Black girl! I want some jazzy white linen dandelion camomile tea music
Western powers have done an effective job conflating Israel with “Jewish people” making it easy for them to trick liberals into thinking this is a religious conflict AND invoking history of the holocaust and antisemitism to muddy what’s actually happening
Cuz it's easy to say oh that person just doesn't know how to be a good friend. And this is just how they are. But a lot of the time they can do it. They just don't bother doing it for you. And that sucks.
Thinking about Redman's episode of MTV Cribs where he had his sheets half off the bed and showed his cousin sleep on the floor then exposed MTV for trying to get him to rent a big house for the show like everyone else but he said nah 😭😭😭😭
@King_BxX
I object! Yahya ain't nobody's ugly. Medium or otherwise. And Shameik? That man is regular FINE! Looks like the midnight train to Georgia to me lmfao
Kelli out here watching other people's newborns, going to all their events as attendees AND volunteering, calling these hoes several times to try and mend friendships. She's really every woman, it's all in her.
I'm not gon lie Jacquees sound like every dude in the hood who swore he could sing and would be lookin for any reason to show off his nasally vocals when nobody asked him to
Private jets are bad for the environment. Very bad. Terrible. Significantly worse than commercial planes (which are also bad for the environment). Taking one to go 40 minutes away is inexcusable regardless of how "jealous" you think we are.
"Build America Back Better"
"We Can Do It"
"Hope"
These are "snappy slogans" that literally don't mean anything. They don't ask for anything, they don't demand anything, they don't expect anything. They don't scare middle america white ladies.
Nick Cannon made a documentary, featuring Umar about a man who "cured AIDS" and believed that women are only supposed to menstruate once every 4 years, for 10 minutes lmfao.
This cannot be the marathon that's supposed to be continuing.
Saw a tik tok (I know I know but stay with me!) that pointed out that the Dems could win every election easily, in a landslide, simply by doing what their base actually wants which are overwhelmingly popular policies but they don't. And people should think about why that is
One of my favorite forms of intimacy is someone genuinely interested in hearing me talk at length about some very specific interest/topic that they don't share lmaoo. Looking at me all amused like wow you have a lot of feelings about the impact of McCarthyism on the film industry
People who do this are not good partners. They are obsessed with being "right" instead of being kind. This kind of condescending bullshit will continue. They are not your parent, & your partner's role is not to "teach you lessons" like you're a freaking toddler. You are an adult.
They'll buy their millionaire friend a custom gold plated helicopter then come on here like "Wow I just saw this and it broke my heart, if you're able to please donate so this elderly woman can get her life saving medical supplies 💔" and the crowdfund is like $5000
I don't find it "inspiring" that Chadwick was working constantly while dealing with his health while dealing with comments on his appearance. I just feel so incredibly sad. It's all just so damn sad.
Billie Eilish thinks a lot of hip-hop right now is lying about guns and women:
"It’s like, ‘I got my AK-47, and I’m f**kin’,’ and I’m like, what? You don’t have a gun. ‘And all my bitches…’ I’m like, which bitches?"
Like you know how ridiculous it sounds to say the US paid right wing Cuban hip hop groups in an effort to sway the culture and propagandize the youth but that's LITERALLY A THING THAT HAPPENED.
First of all...... Meg literally never said Kelsey shot her so she made this whole "diss track" about a rumor that the internet made up. The only person Meg ever said shot her was Tory so wtf is she even talking about.
No need to debate those people about whether or not a fat person is vegan or runs 4 times a day or whatever else cuz it doesn't matter. Lizzo could do all those things or none of those things & they don't gaf. The point is they hate her body no matter what she does with it.
And vice versa I love listening to people talk about things that excite them. I think it's cute. Those same things don't have to excite me for me to enjoy listening to them talk about stuff they're passionate about
A country in which everyone just accepts that their basic rights hinge on keeping an 80+ old woman alive had issues that farrrrrrr predated the 2016 elections.
Celebrities gon keep pushing Black excellence and Black business as liberation on us cuz they don't want to give up capitalism and they don't want the tides to turn on them. Cuz once MORE of our people start questioning that shit they know its over for them chile.
A few things happening here. 1, people who were supposed to get forgiveness are getting it, that isn't anything to announce except they're attempting to make it appear as if they're really addressing astronomical student loan debt. $9 BILLION dollars among 125k people is nuts
Talib Kweli has been harassing a woman half his age non stop for literally 3 damn days. Over a tweet that wasn't even about him specifically to begin with..... during the weekend of his side girl's babyshower. He paid bots to dox her and her family...
And he's still GOING.
In the abuser/victim dynamic, there is no violence that is equal because the power is not equal. Defensive violence in that context is a result of repeated abuse and is not and can never be equal to the CONSTANT violence they are subjected to.
Saying “I don’t know what Baldwin thought about that it was decades ago” is hilarious because the man had an opinion about EVERYTHING just essays and essays of hot takes. Come on mama let’s RESEARCH
People have an obsession with "punishment," Feeling like people deserve things that happen to them because they didn't do what you would've done. That is not a dynamic of care or love and that is not a way to relate to people and not a way to be in a relationship with someone
"Do you like anime? Cars? Video games?"
"Are you only asking me about things that you like?"
"Yeah to see if we're compatible"
"........"
That video of the person imitating m*n on tinder who think compatibility is just having a twin you sleep with lmaaoooo the accuracy.
How exactly do you separate the art from the artist when the artist repeatedly abused underaged girls and the art included an entire album called Age Ain’t Nothin But a Number written for one of those underaged girls I....
Beyhive found that girl who purposely didn’t mute Twitter and got her suspended, made her lock her IG, and spamming her tiktok. They said ask for attn and YE SHALL RECEIVE 💀💀💀
Like idk what response you thought you were going to get to this but perhaps get some damn therapy, learn some empathy, figure out how to have compassion for your fellow humans and realize that not everything is a damn joke??
Daily reminder that well adjusted non creepy adults don't count down the days until a teenager is 18 so they can "legally" sleep with them.
"They were attracted to the child but they waited until the law said they could do it" is..... not a good defense
It benefits the ruling class that we all buy into "All violence is completely equal & bad regardless of context" because it's exactly that thinking that keeps people from striking back, worried about being "as bad" as their abuser in a 1st grade 2 wrongs don't make a right way
Like I cannot stress enough that Johnny Depp lost his suit in the UK over The Sun calling him a "wife beater" because there was so much evidence that he did, in fact, beat his wife.
So much so that their only defense is "Well she hit me back" and people are actually buying it
Not a single one of these early 90s male rappers being conservative capitalist loving misogynists who think they're some kind of radical Black community "leader" is surprising.
