r/adultry rules. every post about planning an affair is full of helpful advice, you can talk about how much you love your affair partner and hate your SO and people will rizz you up, but if you post about how it blew your life up the comments are like "what did you expect, Lol"
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE DEEPEST REALEST LOVE IS COMPLETELY UNATTACHED? THIS MIGHT SEEM STRANGE TO YOU, BUT IT'S REALLY TRUE. IT'S COMMITTED, BUT UNATTACHED.
it’s outstanding how many ppl revealed themselves as intensely american in misunderstanding this tweet. ngos are like colonial missionaries in most places
if i marry a muslim girl she has to be a divorcée. imma need confirmation u were disappointed by atleast one man before me. i don’t need that pressure on me
hoyoo was telling the funniest thing. so basically back in the day in djibouti if a girl liked a guy a lot she would essentially break into his house and refuse to leave until they got married
when refaat, god rest his soul, was emphasizing the importance of storytelling, i’d like to believe he didn’t mean ALL of you because what ??? i’d argue these are in fact —the LEAST urgent words possible
pretty wild that working class subcultures more or less disappeared as the price of essential goods (rent/food) skyrocketed while non-essential services steadily declined. everybody just goes to work to pay for their exorbitantly priced room share and watches netflix
there are e-girls and e-boys but somalis are the first e-nation walahi. never has there been a country where everybody is dysfunctional and so online. from paltalk to tiktok dhammaanteen waan jirrannahay
a lot of comments are about israel polluting / cutting of trees etc (true). but i think there’s probably an even deeper point about israel’s historic role in the region, (global) class formation, and environmental degradation
thinking about that nigerian guy i went to grad school with that was renting a $3500 studio next to campus just to never come to class. we are actually not all part of the same diaspora
talking to a somali girl is always risky because u never know when she’ll drop a bombshell on u like she thinks she’s in love with a guy she met in seoul or she does spoken word poetry
talib kweli built a career off the back of mos def’s talent and a flow that sounds like when u try to fit everything in at the end of a voicemail. and instead of counting his blessings he wants to do a harassement marathon. i’m sick
freelancing sounds so fucking wild honestly. how you just wake up every monday and have no idea where rent is coming from this month. what kind of goose chase life
Stephen A. Smith on Hillary Clinton telling undecided voters to "get over yourself:"
"I don't think it was a very wise statement on her part. How did that work out for her in 2016?"
biggest issue with diaspora poetry is actually a profound lack of curiosity about the culture they hail from. we should require 1 hour conversation with your parent in their mother tongue per poem. no more mangoes, give me 3000 words on social reproduction among the majeerteen
“people talk about themselves in acronyms oddly disassociated from their lived experience…there is an odd estrangement from one’s sense of an agentic self”
I recently found out that people living with ADHD do not miss people.
For them, it is "out of sight, out of mind" .
If you are not physically there, you don't "exist".
This has really messed up a lot of relationships..
the funniest sell outs are ppl that sell their soul mad early. like how you 23 already doing cyber security for an arms manufacturer? did you even give being a good person a chance ????
funniest part is without knowing a single thing about her i can safely say she’s nowhere near the worst of djibouti’s nepo babies. there are some wild stories out there
girl said i don’t look like my dating profile pics, i blocked her immediately. can’t talk to someone that isn’t serious about subverting the surveillance state
as a young diaspora boy going through life, you have three options in terms of film taste. you either become a marvel guy, a tarantino guy, or a battle of algiers guy
interesting outcome of the blm 2020 protests is everybody thought american kids were being radicalized when in fact they were workshopping a more deeply held liberal sensibility. new range of anti political black couture in ig story and zine format
Kinda feel like you’re overlooking the part of James Baldwin that would tell you that voting for Kamala is, again, a means of buying time.
People like Baldwin understood the use of participating in the election, but also understood elections alone will not save us
when the history books are written, they’ll correctly periodize this as the fyre festival era. the exhaustion of the future does not even leave us a past, the questions thus becomes, not where is, but where was ja ??
i feel so bad for kids that come into academia and read journal articles with unbridled sincerity. listen, more or less any given article you come across is 50% waffling
ppl have a hard time realizing why left youtube will never takeoff like the andrew tate’s etc. one thing is trying to undo a worldview the other is reinforcing a misogyny that you already have. these are two completely different tasks
guys the issue with taxing the rich isn’t that we can’t trust the gov to redistribute it (that goes without saying), it’s that as a socialist you want to intervene in the process of producing that value to begin with. redistribute our fucking time
the main reason i don’t accuse people of being psyops on here is that america’s greatest triumph is not needing to pay people to behave like cops. in russia they pay their trolls, we produce them naturally —triumph of ideology
i heard if you actually pay for tidal beyoncé sends you a voice note saying lebron would get it if he wasn’t such a left wing nut job. crazy stuff i kno
