He hates them… because what they have is everything he could never buy, lie, or steal.
Are the UK based, "Let's vote strategically/I'm protesting by not voting at all" promoters observing how that's working out in America?

Looks amazing.
Are we still confused about what has happened to women's edges though? Or are we ready to concede that daily wig wearing is doing damage to said edges?

Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.
Kelis warned about the character of Pharrell Williams a while ago.
theshaderoom.com/kelis-alleg…
Pharrell Williams @Pharrell asked Black people:
“Do you want the job because you’re Black or because you’re the best?”
Brother, we’ve BEEN the best — but RACISM kept the doors locked.
We didn’t get shut out because we were unqualified.
We got shut out because America was built on anti-Black exclusion.
Talking like skin color doesn’t matter while politicians are targeting Blackness in law, policy, and funding is not wisdom — it’s betrayal.
This is the same tired “post-racial” garbage that rich Black celebrities love to spout when they believe they’ve escaped the consequences of structural racism and now pretend the rest of us should too.
Pharrell, we don’t need this watered-down, “I made it so racism must be over” energy.
We need truth.
We need backbone.
We need solidarity.
Because neutrality in the face of oppression is not enlightenment— it’s cowardice wrapped in privilege.

UK DROP OFF LOCATIONS
for emergency supplies for
🇯🇲Hurricane Relief Appeal🇯🇲
📢 Items Needed:
Non-perishable food items, Tarpaulins, Solar or battery-powered lights, Personal hygiene products (including adult & baby diapers, menstrual products)
Email [email protected]
Said child starts attending school. A schoolmate comments, "Ewww! That looks yacky" about a food item your child has always enjoyed eating. Suddenly that food item, maybe even the whole food group, is the "yackiest" food that your child has ever encountered.
If you want to raise not picky eaters, feed them a variety of flavors while theyre still babies!
My 10mo twins had cedar plank smoked salmon, okra, and fresh figs for dinner tonight and at about 80% of what they were served.
Dont be afraid of seasonings, either! Babies enjoy flavor, just like we do. Be careful with spicy flavors, honey, and excess sugar or salt, but the rest are commonly accepted as healthy and beneficial for babies' taste buds and digestion.

£49.18 is the standard weekly allowance for asylum seekers.
It's reduced to £9.95 if meals are included with accommodation.
You need a national insurance number to claim benefits or work. Asylum seekers do not have one.
No free phone (or Ipads). Occasionally, sims, or recycled phones are provided by charities.
Just in case anyone is interested in the facts.

5 years on from lockdown and history has been rewritten.
I'm here to remind you what actually happened.
For example ;
Hospitals in London ran out of oxygen to give to patients, such was the flood of patients with respiratory failure resulting from Covid.

Your reminder again that these were 'ordinary men' ⬇️
teapaw.org/David_Challen/status/1…
A soldier, a nurse, a lorry driver, a builder, a baker… these are just some of the men accused of the rape and assault of Gisèle Pelicot. By labelling rapists as “monsters,” we actively distance them from ordinary men, ignoring the reality that sexual violence against women is a deliberate choice made by countless men who walk all parts of our society.
Such labels prevent us from confronting the truth this trial now holds up to the world: that many men walk freely in our communities, appearing trusted and safe, yet actively choose to commit acts of violence against women and girls…
Many of the men accused in this trial have attempted to normalise their acts of sexual violence by framing their behaviour as a misunderstanding of consent, and even a reaction to personal struggles. These excuses do not mitigate their actions. Some of the men conceded they ‘should have left’ when they saw Gisèle Pelicot was unconscious, whilst others have been more explicit in their views towards women earlier in life, “I had a hatred towards women.”
This normalisation by these men of their violent behaviours creates a disturbing disparity, minimising the seriousness of their crimes and shifting focus away from the harm of the victim. One of the men accused went as far to state he was ‘was simply following her husband’s instructions,’ going as far to directly tell Gisèle Pelicot in court:
“It’s not me you should be angry with, it’s your husband,”
This is an abhorrent case. Yet, it is an incredible survivor, Gisèle Pelicot, who in choosing to waive her anonymity now holds these ‘ordinary’ men up to the world, to show the full extent of the crimes. To stare down that the men who committed these acts were characters who occupied the community in her life, even ones she unwittingly greeted in her everyday life:
“I saw him now and then in the bakery; I would say hello. I never thought he’d come and rape me,”

It's strange to me to see so many replies saying it's sad to see him so old. Why is it sad?
Why don't you want your admired elders live a long and reasonably healthy life? Why don't you want to live into old age?
Is it an upbringing, life experience, and/or a cultural thing?

Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one.
Please repost for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.
@HelloSanctuary, Please explain what is happening at Hampton Court, Wolvs. Why pending tenants who were advised to give notice on previous accommodation are now being told that their tenancy start date has been pushed back indefinitely? Causing pending homelessness & hardship.
