And that people can only think in terms of a binary of authoritarian abuse vs chaotic permissiveness is proving the problem. Structure, boundaries, expectations, and compassion ≠ abuse or chaos.

Omg! Not Johnathon! 🥺

Ohhh I see. I just came across the Brandy article. I was wondering why age and consent and such was the topic. Not mad at the topic at all I just didn’t get its origin.

They think it’s permissive parenting which like they said is neglect. Gentle parenting means you’re actively involved in the raising of your child. That includes consequences, healthy boundaries, a safe space, communication etc.

“You didn’t ask if I was single” “I never said I wasn’t married/didn’t have kids” “When we’re together, we’re together; when we’re not, we’re not” You could write a book about the ways in which men use semantics & omission to lie, and the ending will be the same: they do not value consent.

When women say don’t lie to me no matter how much it hurts me, it’s bc the lies are often manipulative in such away she’s not afforded the opportunity for informed consent. I rather have my feelings hurt and respect you, than feel violated.

It can’t be protect the children, if we’re not protecting them from the predators who want to sleep with them, and marry them. If you’re in your 30s sniffing around a freshly graduated high school student because they’re “legal” I feel like somebody should be able to punch you in your mouth.

As a girl who has dated people way too old for me in hs, I want to say that it is really really important for adults to teach children about grooming. And stop calling people who can’t vote young adults. Those are children. Let’s save the YA label for 18-21.

Agreement under false pretense, lack of informed consent, feels much more in line with coercion than just a “lie.”

My baby has been invited to join the National Honor Society because of her 4.0 gpa!!!! I’m so proud of her!!!

Folks really don’t know how to drive around a roundabout. You are not supposed to stop in the roundabout. If you’re in the roundabout you have the right of way. If you’re waiting to enter it you wait til there’s an opening.

Hey yall I’m severely underemployed. Yes I work but it doesn’t cover all my bills at all and I’m still playing catchup. Buy content or donate. The goal is I just need it. Rent is due and I don’t have it, we can start there. Thanks a bunch. DM FOR THE CONTENT MENU #Help #MutualAid #Rent #SexWork

I’ve read 2-3 pages and I’m already genuinely interested. Vampires are celebrities, people volunteer to be blood donors for them, AND someone is already missing. WTH?! 😭

There’s a lot of stuff on the skyline that we kiki about that I know FOR A FACT I wouldn’t tolerate offline I like witty people with strict boundaries, absolutely I *do not* like toxic/abusive people, and it admittedly sets off alarm bells when people call THEMSELVES toxic, even jokingly

I’m finna cry. It makes me cry every time.

That chicken being named Hei Hei seriously cracks me up every time I watch this movie lol

I did something impulsive today. We were at the library for an Easter egg scavenger hunt then I checked out two books! That’s it that’s the story lol. I’m trying to get back into reading so I asked the librarian and I checked out some books that ima start today. I love reading and I’m making time

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again….Do not try to gymfluence me if you’re African. Those glutes did not come from bridges. That’s Gods blatant favoritism

I haven’t seen my homeless buddy in a minute. I hope he’s ok

Why don’t seagulls fly over the bay? Because then they’d be called bagels(baygulls). 🥯

Today is gonna be a good day. Today has to be a good day.

Lol I think @miq.moe is fucking with y’all cause it’s April fools 😭😭😭

The child is still on the damn bus and already I’m inconvenienced cuz she forgot to have me sign a permission slip so guess who has to figure out a way to get to the school to sign it before the end of the day? Me. Remember I work with disabled adults so when am I supposed to be able to do this?

I’m trying not to be annoyed but I am. My child’s hairstylist told me a while ago that she would do her hair for free for her bday in exchange for me teaching her son to read. I’ve asked numerous times when I should come over for the lessons and she never told me a day.

The inconveniences I’ve experienced as a single parent are numerous. NUMEROUS. There’s at least one a day. AT MINIMUM. Idk yo. If you’re not the primary or you’re not doing it alone, I can’t take anything you complain about seriously but that’s also why I prefer to mind my business so I’m done now.

I understood what dude was saying in regards to, if she knew it advance and didn't advise him accordingly, HOWEVER. The primary parent always, ALWAYS has their life interrupted for the child, so regardless, he needs to cut the whining.

One day I’ll just be able to go dress shopping and replace my wardrobe. One day I’ll be able to tell baby girl yes without stressing and counting pennies. One day life just has to get better.

This be facts

When it comes to men polishing their nails I have only one issue. Take that shit OFF once it starts chipping. For the love of all things holy. Chipped nail polish is like having cracked lips. Do something about it. Please!

We don’t ever talk about the genius that is Wall-E. Does anyone remember that movie? It was such a good fucking movie

Wall-E EVAAAA

None of these people are my friends tho. Once I leave this job I will never think of them again and I mean that. I forget about folks and simply don’t care anymore. No ill will, just don’t care. When it’s time to move on, it’s time to move on.

I do like my one coworker. He’s very kind to me. He helped me get a washer and dryer. He dropped off some free chairs for my porch. He’s gonna let me borrow his power washer to get the pollen off the porch and house and car. He’s super helpful. He’s gotten me food too. I appreciate him.

This fan blowing on my back is divine. It feels so damn good.

I will say some of our clients are the mess. They have disabilities but some are high functioning so it’s like babysitting high school students. They can be interesting too but that’s part of the job. We navigate that and shut it down. Staff shouldn’t have drama

Indefinite mood. 🫠

The drama at work is wild as hell to me. We are there to do a job and that’s it. Just do your job, focus on your client and move on. If your focus is your client then you don’t have time to get into mess.

This stupid bitch posted in the work chat about how she and another coworker aren’t dating. A fucking dissertation about how she wants the rumor to stop and she doesn’t know who’s spreading it etc. IN THE WORK GROUPCHAT Talk about zero professionalism and she’s older than me with grown kids.

There’s so much drama at work. So much fucking drama. Idk what I expected but I ain’t expect it to be like this. This company is too small for folks to be acting like this. Rumors about who’s dating who and supervisor picking on folks and shit. Everyone needs to grow up.

Laying here lightheaded. Just laying. Doing nothing. In the dark. And I’m lightheaded and off balance. This is great. Love that

Niggas ain’t shit. Remember that when you over there laughing and shit at the expense of another woman. Soon as you do some shit he think deserves insult you’ll be the next target. Y’all seem to forget that. As a black woman, black women are all you got. Respect that and respect them

It’s hard for me to build new connections with people. I know why too. So when it doesn’t happen I just let it be. I have to cuz tryna force it feels awkward and uncomfortable.

I’m very attracted to them. They’re so gorgeous 😍

Women who kiki when men do or say some dumb insulting shit about another woman <<<<<<<< Yall are not the girls girl you claim to be. Just messy and catty. I’m not saying jump in the line of fire cuz you don’t have to. But you DEFINITELY ain’t gotta be over there giggling while she’s being harmed.

Every time I seen man nipples I find attractive I wanna lick em and suck em and listen to him moan. My mouth is a miracle worker so let me earn my keep.

I need some progressive chill.

Everyday it’s Jesus something. I’m not against it but I don’t wanna hear it constantly either. I’m not a Christian. I don’t believe in the bible the same way they do. It’s just annoying to deal with. There are definitely stark differences between northern and southern states. I’m ready to go

It’s 2026 and I’m still hearing phrases like “good hair” coming out of black folks mouths. I can’t do this southern shit. This Bible Belt shit is too much. The whole company stay talking bout Christianity and shit. Religion should not be part of company culture unless it’s a religion based company

I actually chose my daughter’s birthday. I experienced a still birth May 3, 2009 so when I got pregnant again the doctor was anxious to get baby out so it wouldn’t happen again. They told me which week they would want to induce me. I told them no to April 1 and yes to April 2.
