Mid wedding, as we were about to exchange rings, we realized we couldn't find our wedding bands.
This Argentinian couple, who we never met before that moment, took off their own rings and gave them to us so we could get married.
They fit us better than our original rings.

The video cuts off before she says her aunt put her in foster care and kept the brother, btw.
When I said black parenting is a crisis and we can never escape our trauma because we keep inflicting it on our children, I meant that.

I think it's important for people to see what this looks like as well. Real people are sitting for 16 hours a day, not even making a dollar ($1.00) per garment.

- If I have $5,485 in my bank account. The $485 is free money and doesn't count as spending anything.
- If I spent less than $100 on it, that doesn't count.
- If the thing is less money than I planned, I can spend the rest to make it up bc I was gonna spend that anyway.
What’s yalls favorite form of girl math? Mine is eating what I want Friday-Sunday cause calories don’t count on the weekend

Japan is also constantly hit with natural disasters because of their geographic location and nobody says they're cursed or that these are the consequences of their "godlessness"
Methinks it might be antiblackness.

I want someone to go to jail at this point.
Another random thing that pissed me off about VVIP was when I walked in & saw that the “seating” was ripped off office chair cushions that they put on the ground.
Like be for fucking REAL. 😭 not even a whole chair JUST the cushion

Someone called the police to report a home invasion, and the officer asked him if he knows where the station is, but our leaders are stumped by the crime problem. Scratching their heads. Erla coming to ask how we could help.

All this trans hysteria is particularly funny because all it does is reaffirm that gender cannot be reliably identified using physical markers.
Literally every single conversation circles back to that point.

People begged me for years to open a bakery. When I did, no one supported me lmao. Now, baking is attached to the humiliation of that failure, and holds none of the joy it had before.
Not about blocking na it’s about preserving something that actually fun and I don’t wanna be pressured by making it a job. If I were to do it is a business it must happen organically ya know

Ya'll are lazy, spineless and fickle and come on here complaining about T&T's many injustices and inefficiencies on a daily basis but never make the connection between that and yourselves.
Ya'll stand for literally nothing and expect this place to make sense lol
“I’m not supporting any business in Trinidad whose owners support Trump”
Good luck with that…lol…
You’d be boycotting like 99% of businesses whose products and services you use, and some you actually do need.
I’m not a Trump fan, but I’m not delusional.

This week some of you discovered misogynoir, where black women are the antithesis to youth and innocence, intelligence, softness. For example, Andrea being older than Ashanti yet regarded as more of a child is misogynoir.

Things the influencers don't tell you about starting a business:
1. You're unlikely make a single profit for months.
2. It's double/triple the work of a regular job.
3. If you have neither the social capital nor existing wealth, it is very unlikely that it'll go anywhere.

I clicked on the video expecting to be horrified only to find her gently and correctly parenting her child 😭😭
Here’s an emotionally unbalanced woman who is bigoted against her own child.
I’m terrified for this kid. She is going to damage him in unspeakable ways.

As birthrates continue to fall, social pressure in the form of misogyny will only get worse. Before you succumb to such pressures, consider that society could have made the choice to treat women better to incentivize marriage and childbirth, but has chosen to do the opposite.

Short answer? We're not. Most trinis our age believe they can make themselves billionaires (see instagram). They don't think the job market is deliberately impossible and the housing market is predatory. They think they're not working hard enough.

I think our biggest problem lately is that miserable people are speaking so much. They're being platformed instead of shamed back into their terrible, joyless lives.
It's time to bully miserable people again so we can have peace.
When Encanto came out, I immediately disliked it because the characters were fugly. I’m pretty sure every little girl thought the same. Don’t believe me? Ask a little girl if she wants to be compared to princess jasmine or that fat Encanto character. Even if a girl in reality DOES look like that character, the last thing she wants is to be reminded about it.

Men truly believe that it's within their rights to have access to women at all times, and moreover, that women should not be able, at any point, to decide otherwise.
That's why the gym thing is such a big scene.

You know how we keep saying abusers have a support system of other men
that enable, justify and euphemize their abuse?
Here you have it, a man committed two murders and orphaned his own child, but he's well liked, so it's being referred to as an oopsie.

The problem is that no one is raising boys. People get their blue confetti at the gender reveal and thank their lucky stars because boys are "easier" so they don't have to put any effort into caring for them.
Most boys are quite literally feral.

Also we have no holidays in July and I find that is real hardship.

A really great litmus test for how aggressively wrong you are about something is whether SJW, PEA and KPB simultaneously share that opinion with you.
I believe we should always respect people’s point of view. I also believe that we must THINK and be INFORMED prior to EXPRESSING those views, even if it means restricting the urge to use devices with internet connectivity.
As adults, I think we can form our own opinion.
