One thing nobody tells you about adulthood is how fun it is to become your own person. One day you randomly start liking jazz, olive green, expensive dark chocolate, documentaries about volcanoes, weird lamps, sparkling water, books about loneliness in Tokyo, silver jewelry and quiet cafés. Your personality keeps unfolding forever if you let it.

It is quite satisfying to watch the antelope loudly proclaim its friendship with the leopard. But the entire savanna knows, that this friendship has never existed anywhere but in the mind of the predator searching for a more comfortable way to feed, and that of a prey so foolish it has mistaken the beauty of those spots for something other than the last thing it will ever see..

As a Nigerian woman from an average background, your backup plan cannot be marriage. It's like building a house in a water-logged land. It will sink. Fight tooth and nail to make something of yourself. Leave an imaginary man out of it.

Genuine question because I don’t actually know the answer: when it was boys who wanted to make more money, did researchers call it “materialism,” or did they use a different term?

This one surprised me. Teen girls now say "having lots of money" is important in life at the same rate as boys. There used to be a huge gap.

Stop fighting about changing your name to your husband’s name as a woman, and start fighting about making sure your child bears your name.
You created that child.
You built that child’s entire body using raw materials taken from your own body.
You reduced your own bone density to build that child’s skeleton with calcium and phosphorus taken directly from your own bones and teeth.
You risked kidney and liver and heart failure to filter toxins, pump blood and deliver oxygen to that child.
The reason men fight so hard in arguments about whether a wife should change her name to her husband’s name, is to keep you so occupied with that argument that you never get the chance to think about why should the child you faced death to give life to, bear your husband’s name and not yours.

When Aliko Dangote moves to expand refining in Africa, it’s suddenly monopoly.
The World Bank even warned he could dominate the oil market across regions, then deleted the statement few days after backlash.
But for decades, Shell and Chevron controlled African oil, and nobody called it monopoly.
Africa exporting crude and importing fuel at a high cost was fine. Local refining is where the panic starts?
Dangote isn’t the threat, it’s all a fight for control.

My abortion is the kind people love to judge the most. I wasn’t underage, I wasn’t assaulted, and there was no medical emergency. I got pregnant because I knowingly had unprotected sex, no accident, no rare failure, just my own choices.
By their standards, it was “irresponsible.” I knew abortion was an option, and I took it. Not because I couldn’t survive it or raise a child, I simply didn’t want one. I wanted sex without becoming a parent, and I chose not to carry the pregnancy.
There’s no redemption arc here. I don’t regret it. Nothing terrible happened to me afterward, no punishment, no downfall. My life is still good. And that reality alone challenges everything people like to assume about women who make this choice.

Everyone who supports abortion how would you feel if you were aborted ?

Let's run down the list:
If Korra gave up learning the Avatar State for Mako, everyone would've dragged her for life.
If Korra was the one to find Mako and Bolin family and selfishly keep that information from them? They would've roasted her on a spit.
If Korra ran away and got herself frozen for 100 years, allowing the Earth Kingdom to take over...they would've blamed everything following on her.
We already know how people treat Korra for trusting someone even when their team says don't, while other Avatars can trust people against the protest of their team and get a pass. 😐

Someone said imagine if it was Korra who selfishly left mastering the avatar state because she couldn't let go of her crush. She would have never seen the daylight.
Anyways it's not like Korra would give up the avatar state for Mako. She's not stupid 😭😭

When Aang gets earthbending in a day. Cool
When Katara gets bloodbending in a day. Cool
When Toph gets metalbender in a day. Cool
But when Korra struggles with airbending for 17 fucking years and gets it following the principles of freedom. She's a Mary Sue.
this is where I see the mary sue complaint now
whole season she was getting washed but suddenly she can airbend after having her bending taken away and can negate Amon's bloodbending with no waterbending but Aang couldnt negate Yakone, who was significantly weaker than Amon

No foreign companies are allowed to extract minerals in America, China, or Europe, but in Africa African countries rely on foreign companies to extract their own minerals. Don’t we have engineering companies with African engineers in Africa? This trend must end!

It is always disheartening that state machineries like these help/give credibility to ordinary people only when a negative light is shown on them. On a normal day it's just delays and intimidation.

Been stuck by Kameza for over an hour. Only having one way into and out of a major city is pretty insane

I’m so tired of people declaring perfectly normal literary techniques “bad writing”. 1st person pov isn’t bad. Dual pov isn’t bad. Prologues aren’t bad. Dream sequences aren’t bad. These are all tools. People need to stop confusing personal preferences with objective critique

Marketing is absolutely getting masculinized. "UGC Engineer"
Have y’all noticed that they are masculinizing job titles and descriptions in certain fields to appeal to men?
