Digging your well before you're thirsty is an underrated skill - be proactive in building whatever tools, skills or resources you will need before urgency forces your hand.
Success is where preparation meets opportunity - so be prepared!
Here's a few tips [Thread]: /1
I saw on tiktok that if you put a wooden spoon or spatula over an almost boiled over pot, it'd stop it from boiling over... its been like that for 5 minutes ... it worked akfjsjsj
My ex did this once except it was 365 notes in the jar and I had to send pictures of the one I opened every day. It was like being in a Chinese labour camp.
I need people to wake up and realise that SIX of the most prominent activists during the Ferguson riots have all been found burned to death in their cars.
There are no coincidences here. It's systematic.
FULL STEAM AHEAD: London's Woolwich Ferry performed donuts on the River Thames in support of health care workers on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic.
e.g. = "Exempli Gratia" - for example
i.e. = "Id Est" - in other words
I know on Twitter we just make up facts to sound cool, but grammar is close to my heart. Couldn't let this slide soz x
THIS is how you cancel a brand for racist ads. Chinese consumers have completely crippled D&Gs Asia market and tons of retailers have now completely stopped carrying their products. They've had to cancel their show and issued several public apologies. This is a lesson.
And by 'single mother' you mean Widow of 5. Her husband died of cancer but the media will do any amount of mental gymnastics to avoid suggesting that healthy and successful black families exist.
I’m scared at how normal he looks because it means anyone in your office could secretly be doing this and telling you their weekend was “pretty chill” on Monday
You know what's wild, if Offset had left Cardi and she kept calling him, popping up in his IG live, getting all her friends to call him and call him out publicly, kept stalking him and turning up at his shows, we'd label her a crazy ex and say she needs help.
Imagine bragging because you had to walk 6 days to the village librarium and consult the scroll of Nebuchadnezzar just to check how many wives Henry VIII had. I'm good luv, enjoy x
Just a quick reminder that you are allowed to be black without basing your platform on black activism and speaking about topics surrounding the black experience. Believe it or not, you're allowed to just sit there and live your life.
Jordyn grew up relatively privileged and had no problem with living the Kardashian lifestyle for YEARS. She NEVER spoke on events that plagued the Black community, but when shit hit the fan she pulled the “As a black woman” card. Chile...
You spend your early 20's thinking you'll have everything together by 25, and then reach 25 and realise you're still a child who likes to eat cereal for dinner and sing along to Disney movies, except now you have bills and taxes and anxiety and can't sleep.
Are men wicked or are you stupid? These are the kind of girls that will leave their house to meet a chicken nugget.
He told you he needed a car for you to go bowling so you bought him a BMW? Are you on crack?
We can run on ice now?!!! It's over for ALLLLLL of you. The Winter Olympics is now available in Black, Matte Black, and Off-White. We'll be hosting the next one in Wakanda.
I'm going to need someone to explain to me what this is, if not the latest blatant exhibition of Britain's finest export: racism. Why is one dress stunning and one vulgar... did Meaghan show the wrong shoulder?
Michael Gove has confessed to taking cocaine as he becomes the latest Tory leadership contender to admit to using class A drugs,
@clivebull
asks: should this matter?
Loool ORRRR... you just never see their commercials because you don't read the magazines they print in... because you're not their target market.
Sorry if that's a little less comforting for your ego x
@nypost
The news masterfully shapes perception through words:
The dead man is a 'vagrant' who 'barged into' the train, and 'unhinged', because being poor is a criminal offence punishable by death.
The murderer who 'stepped in' is a 'Marine veteran' who was 'released without charges.
This is so rude and disrespectful. Coogler already wanted Letitia Wright for the role, so all this grandstanding by Miss lightskin was unnecessary. Even if she tried her best she would've lost. Stomach that L instead of acting like you GIFTED other hard working actors their roles
Terry Crews on why he didn’t fight back when he was sexually assaulted:
“As a black man in America, you only have a few shots at success… I have seen many, many young black men who were provoked into violence. And they were imprisoned or they were killed. And they’re not here."
This is not a joke, a drill or an overreaction. 3 burned in cars, 2 found dead in car boots, 1 lynching and one shooting.
No culprits have been arrested. No justice served. The message is clear!
Metropolitan Police says 29-year-old Daniel Horton has been charged with grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article following a stabbing at London Central Mosque in Regent's Park
This PR campaign from The Royal Family is the funniest thing and has 100% confirmed that Harry and Meghan did not tell a single lie. Way too much overcompensating.
This maths doesn't even add up and every time I think about it I get angry. There were +600 people living there so how can 72 die but only 230 survive????
That girl was tapping the railing like she was applying a light coat of FENTY Trophy Wife.
She looks like she’s never washed a plate in her life. Where’s the vim??

Ah, the sweet smell of freshly toasted racism. Been in Denmark about 45 minutes. Some guy sees me fumbling with my key at the door and instead of offering to help he says "please, no burglary".
Good to know it's a universal thing 👌🏽
Let's do some quick
#Grenfell
maths
24 storeys. 129 apartments. Housing 600 people legally (not inc. 50+ sub-letters).
So, +650 people, ONE central staircase, a fire starting on the FOURTH floor, spreading UPWARDS.
Police footage shows 223 people escaped.
Yet only 70 died?
I'm really happy that Kanye took this screenshot because it confirms to me that
@johnlegend
is every bit as authentic in private as he is in the public eye. Despite everything he approached Kanye with love and compassion and tried to help him grow. THAT is greatness.
I cant lie this man is ruthlessly efficient. He just said they’ll revoke the business licenses of anyone hiking up face mask prices. “Find one, revoke one”
All the world powers we love to hate are clearing out Coronavirus and corrupt businesses. Russia, China, Cuba, all of them.
Once a tiger encounters a person and kills, it may develop a taste for human flesh, which, Mr. Khan says, is sweeter than other animal meat because of all the ginger, salt and spices people consume.
Meghan’s mum turning up to the wedding with dreadlocks must have caused Prince Philip’s last horcrux to burst into flames.
The whole royal family has been on the ropes ever since.
I can’t lie this is probably the most empty a central line train has ever been. Back in my day (pre-Coronavirus) you had to fold yourself in half and slide in through the crack between two sweaty backs.
The Central line was crowded with people as it stopped at Liverpool Street during morning rush hour on 7th April, despite
#coronavirus
restrictions being in place.

I’ve been meaning to ask... is everyone really still comfortable travelling to Greece right now, knowing they just threw 1000 people that look like you into the ocean and left them to die because they didn’t have the same colour passport as you?
Because they’re “immigrants”?
2020 IS IN SIX MONTHS!
Use these six months to prepare for a whole new decade. A decade of peace; a decade of love; a decade of unimaginable growth and unbridled joy.
2020 won't see you in the space where you are now. You're moving on to bigger and better.
To greater things 🥂
This headline is hilariously misleading - but of course they knew that.
The guy saw an abandoned house falling in on itself and went to court twice to try and get possession so that he could fix it up.
The prior owners had many homes and abandoned this one.
Since Harry and Meghan tore their collective singlet, the Royal family has been sending Kate up and down for PR errands like a firstborn Nigerian child.
I just went to find the article I wrote about it on my old blog to discover that the whole blog itself is down and the only 3 articles that don't show up in search results were about Ferguson, Kaepernick, and a list of instances where black people have been killed for nothing.
This whole “parents getting old” thing... I don’t like it.
Why couldn’t they just wait for me to grow up and then we could all get old at the same time? Very greedy if you ask me.
@hewantswealth
The funniest thing about this story is that this man had to move into the house for a decade because otherwise, the house would've gone to the King.
If the King takes your property it's okay. If a random immigrant fixes up an abandoned house, he's a 'shameless squatter'.
LOOOOOOOOL Brits really are insufferable. They love a good clap and wave but ask them to follow simple instructions and people that haven’t run since they were chasing immigrants in the 70s will start lacing up their boots.
@NBCNews
If you think Hamas has inkjet printers and bothers to stamp things with a 'top secret' watermark, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Gotta frame this right next to Obama's 'Kenyan birth certificate'.
It's funny how you grow up thinking 30 is old until it's only a few years away and you realise 30 year olds are just children with tired eyes and bad backs.
Look at the depravity in his eyes. It makes sense now that since losing his joy he decided none of us shall know happiness and has begun this kamikaze jihad against delicious food and drink.
For Jamie Oliver, the past year has been exceptionally painful. He has been forced to close 12 restaurants and make hundreds of people redundant — now he speaks exclusively to the FT about what went wrong
