Meghan really said it was important that the black girls from Africa see her in a racist institution that is responsible for 99.9999% of their problems. Am s c r I m m I n g.

It's so weird to me as an Antiguan to see a government minister in JA saying they were caught off guard by a TS. From the time we get an inkling of a system heading our way there are constant updates in Antigua. That's slackness that could result in loss of life.

1st one I heard is from the passport office a while back. When I paid for an emergency passport and they told me 24 hours I called the next day to ask if I could pick up. They said no. 24 hours = 3 working days because one working day is 8 hours.

Disney + not being available in the Caribbean is peak racism. the fact that some movies are based in the Caribbean or feature characters from the Caribbean but we as a region are not allowed to access the content is discrimination. In this essay I will.

@Tye3rdThoughts Yes your parents had their reasons and OP has her reasons that go beyond what you condescendingly stated as "warm weather". You weren't raised here by your own admission so you can't conceive of why someone would say so.

As someone with this name, whose parents are Antiguan and do not pronounce it the Igbo way, me can pronounce um how me want.
Saw this TikTok of a girl explaining how she got her name (Nneka). She is not Nigerian and neither are her parents. They are African American. But because they didn’t know the origins of the name, she spent 29 years pronouncing it NEEKA. 🥴. Until some Nigerians told her.

My theory is if ticket prices were lower we could either tump it out for real or come to the realisation that we are not so different as to warrant these manufactured arguments.
As a CARICOM citizen nothing don’t exhaust me on here like island wars.

And from which "developed" country are you looking down your nose? Better not be the US or UK.
The Caribbean countries just got their independence some less than 100 years ago and they’re still dealing with problems in education and health care system. Just say you like warm weather.

Reading the news today, I'm feeling very fortunate to live in Canada - a diverse and tolerant country that values freedom while respecting human rights. We aren't perfect and building our country is an ongoing project but I wouldn't choose anywhere else. ❤️🇨🇦.

You mean the common fucking sense way.
Delta Airlines is temporarily changing how people board; travelers whose seats are in the last row will board first, with the process continuing row-by-row to the front to minimize interactions. First and business class can board when they want, but are encouraged to wait.

This is so heartless. Educational institutions in the CARIBBEAN REGION not making allowances for inclement weather while we are advancing arguments about how climate change impacts our lives is CRAZY.
Minister in the Ministry of Education, Lisa Morris Julian MP, says students who missed exams yesterday because of flooding will not be given make up exams because it was not the policy of CXC, which sets the exams. For more.

If you stealth someone you are raping them. The person consented to sex with the condom. You are removing their agency on decisions about their health and reproduction. Do not be daft.
WHAT?????? Here y’all go with this rape shit. Rape is SEX WITHOUT CONSENT. Taking a condom off to get a girl pregnant without her knowing is NOT rape. Just wrong as hell.

I would like to see a men's rights movement that focuses on the effects of heteropatriarchy on their lives. I would like to see one that addresses the issues that Queer men face. Instead we get movements that largely and dishonestly blame women for their problems.

UWI is one of the best educational institutions (in the top 5%) GLOBALLY. Peddle this nonsense in someone else's mentions. This is sad.
@TheDreadEmpress Because she said it’ll be a good environment to raise children. Yeahhh until the age of 16 or so because like I said the education system (only goes up to HIGH SCHOOL) needs work. And it’s proven FACT children do well in warm environments. Nothing I said was wrong.

The UNIVERSITY. Of the West Indies. A tertiary level institution. With FOUR landed campuses and open campuses. Of which the U in UWI stands for University mind you. Only goes up to high school. You last come here in 1940? 😐.
@TheDreadEmpress It’s only goes UP TO HIGH SCHOOL. To survive in this world you damn near need a PHD. Which island has that college ? And I’ll wait.

From a business standpoint it is way more important that we protect the authenticity of our Carnival rather than shifting dates so they don't coincide with other Carnivals. Just ignoring all the historical ties to the dates for capitalist reasons? Claudette wept.

Just because information is *available* doesn't mean it's *accessible*. We often make this mistake w.r.t information being up on a website. Beyond placing it there, is it easy for people to understand or did you just tick the box by putting it up?.
