a man will casually do something to harass you and you’ll spend the rest of your life moving different because of that one catcall, or someone touching your waist to move by. meanwhile they’ll never think about it again.

while danielle was made to feel ugly for her gap, 6/7 cycles laters tyra widened a white contestant’s gap because of how high fashion, unique and captivating it would be. ‘not marketable’ is tyra speak for hating dark skin girls.
Why was this allowed to air wtf Tyra banks is going to straight hell

For men? Lmao you seriously think we spend so much on our maintenance and hygiene for men? Imagine that.

coolest thing about this tweet is that too many people think “male gaze” = dudes you wanna smash as opposed to a patriarchal system that demands feminine obedience disguised as self-care.

even when an older woman is childless, we can only place her in the role of mother which must be sexless, modest & invisible.
It’s not hate but yall wouldn’t be weirded out if your mommy was that age posting that shit?? New gen moms yall will stress your children bc that’s so strange to me… the time for her posting pics like that is over simple. She’s definitely still a fabulous woman.

another crime drama?
Netflix has set its next South African film — crime drama INUMBER NUMBER: JOZI GOLD, set to debut June 23. It's a continuation of a 2017 Showmax TV series (before Netflix began investing in Africa), which itself was based on a 2013 film by Donovan Marsh. Trailer next.

this is why you gotta do the rich aunty aesthetic in first year. you don’t have to get ready if you stay ready.
The jump from your varsity wardrobe (sweatpants, leggings, crop tops, mini skirts and dresses, bomber jackets) to corporate wear is insane. Where the hell am I supposed to get all of these coats and suits damnit.

@nomindnomad @therenatural hoteps based their idea of culture on the things we've inherited from slavery and white supremacy instead of what we were before colonialism. granted there are probably a lot of destroyed records.

all it takes is centuries of pillaging and colonialism 🧡.
Europeans have hacked this living thing. They just optimise for good quality of life. Capitalism doesn’t have them in a complete chokehold. Very family driven, good quality of food, walkable streets, fresh air, simple living.

it's no secret that even the fast fashion (h&m, zara, mrp) you would've bought 4-5 years ago is probably 5x better quality than whatever you're getting today from those same places. soon, thrifting won't be a reliable option for good clothing so what do we do? 🧵.
