To be clear, when I say "advice", he wants to know how to persuade mum to stay
"PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!" - yeah right @Original_Phoenix_RisingThis man really went online begging for advice cos his mum is finally leaving his dad after 35 years. The kicker is he's not even looking at the situation through the eyes of an adult child in denial at how his parents' relationship was. He openly admits his dad wasn't a good husband.02:31 PM - May 10, 2024

I really need to know why our military is not putting out any form of a statement about an active duty airman with a clean service record being MURDERED by a sheriff’s deputy in HIS OWN FUCKING APARTMENT!

And some white people still have a problem with Black people doing those things. Can't even walk around our own neighbourhood without being questioned. And don't let 2 or more of us be talking among ourselves at work, that's a no-no. The culprits aren't all right wingers either.

I'll never get over how one minute you're talking to the surgeon & anaesthetist about some random topic, & the next you're waking up on the ward. I don't remember even starting to feel sleepy lol.

Something doesn't sit right with me in this particular case (even if the intention was to be fact checked), but the points made below about making it clear you're posting to be fact checked pretty much encompass how I feel. Especially when it sounds like it's your personal opinion.

In a FB group for POC in HR, they're debating whether employers look negatively at people who crowdfund on LinkedIn.
As you can guess, most are stating a resounding yes. Some are laughing.
😮💨 Le sigh. It's a weird flex of what's wrong with HR, but here we are.

Colleague: everything's pc nowadays, you can't say anything without offending
Me: what kind of thing do you mean?
Colleague (visibly stunned & scrambling to think of a non racist e.g.): well what if I called you fat?
Me: do you want to say that?
Colleague: well no, course not

So in conclusion, I'll be continuing to block people as & when I see fit. This includes when I see they've liked another spouter's problematic personal opinion. Cheers 👍🏿
07:08 PM - May 07, 2024
Someone posted a problematic opinion re SA & that comment was liked. This is very different to, say, "liking" to acknowledge that someone's posted an article re SA for e.g. Likes on this platform don't "go" anywhere. "I see you"? What that mean? "I'm onto you"? Challenge them then 🤷🏿♀️
hal @HardlyMattersI don't think it's safe to assume "liking" a comment means that one actually likes it or endorses it. For many it just means "I see you".06:16 PM - May 07, 2024
Note that I'm not the one who liked this, but I often use that tag in this way.

Of course the ocean is haunted. Haunted by the idea that they'll never be as beautiful as Lake Louise.

The Ghost @GhostOfSpoutibleThe ocean is not haunted.12:10 PM - May 03, 2024Accuracy Alert!
The sources provided do not offer any scientific or concrete evidence supporting the claim that "The ocean is not haunted." Various references to haunted houses, such as the Amityville house on Ocean Avenue, or haunted ships like the Queen Mary, are made across the sources, but these locations are not representative of the ocean as a whole. The notion of "haunting" is subjective and often based on personal belief, anecdotes, or folklore rather than empirical data. Therefore, the claim in question cannot be conclusively verified or debunked based on the sources given. However, it's worthy to note that credible scientific sources usually do not validate claims of the paranormal.

When Black people talk about the need to gatekeep, there's inevitably other Black people pushing against it & even going so far as to call them reverse racists, talkin bout how "nobody owns _" (insert topic of discussion here).

Tanya Feke, MD @tanyafekeIt's amazing how much of the #menopausal transition is glossed over in medical school. As a doctor going through this myself, I have the same questions as you. Medicine is so very behind on women's health. If anyone is interested, I can post things I learn along the way. #inthistogether06:44 PM - May 06, 2024
04:35 AM - May 07, 2024
I went to the doctor recently and went through a series of "Is something wrong or am I just getting older?" questions. And I wish there were doctors to help us age like they'd tell us what to expect and help us transition. Does that already exist?

Though I absolutely was largely raised based on the respectability politics model, I shook that off years ago. I don't care what people think & have nothing to prove to this "them" I kept hearing about growing up, no one would specifically say who "them" was but they meant white people.
