- The costs for female stupidity are entirely too high. It's a big part of why moms and daughters often don't get along.I often think about how women's lives can be derailed by entertaining one wrong love interest
- If you didn't get engaged today, you're clearly of bad character and need to change your ways.Now he’s gonna be my husband! Love it for me.
- Therapists sometimes act like everything someone says is valid and worthy of consideration and that’s my biggest problem with them. It is also useful to know when to say to someone “what you just said is stupid”.
- I'm going to start a thread of these incidents of insidious racism in the media coverage of the Ukrainian crisis, because I've just been seeing so damn many.In the midst of reporting there’s so much acknowledgement of the “quiet parts” being said outbound. The distress because “Europeans with blond hair and blue eyes are being killed..”
00:00 - When the opportunities we’ve been awaiting come your way, may we be as prepared as Tems. Because that babe was READY.
- Conflict avoidance even in the smallest things masked as benevolence and agreeableness <<<I’ve been married for 16 years. I like crunchy peanut butter, and my wife likes smooth. I haven’t had crunchy peanut butter in 16 years.
- If you write this in a film they’ll say you’re being ridiculousLCC officials had to push the van where arrested protesters were kept. They were eventually transferred into another vehicle. #EndSARS #LekkiTollGate
00:00 - Omo, I just deeped it. In a country where terrorists can conduct a mass killing of people in a church, we have as a serious candidate for presidency a man who cannot condemn the mob killing of a Christian for alleged blasphemy with his chest.
- The pride I feel for this girl, you’d think she were a family member. So so pleased for her.No words to describe this @coldplay
00:00 - I hate pedestals so much. The second someone elevates you to the status of Saint, and talks about how much you “make them better”, theres often not nearly enough room for you in that relationship to be fully human.
- I love how the Naija babes don’t switch up.
- FK is teaching us all how to use our privilege. It's not by forming guilt or pretending you don't have it. Acknowledge it, then deploy it to the service of those who lack it.
- I don’t believe this “we’ve dissolved SARS” talk o. Address the nation, @MBuhari. Soro soke, jeka gbo.
