Mid wedding, as we were about to exchange rings, we realized we couldn't find our wedding bands.
This Argentinian couple, who we never met before that moment, took off their own rings and gave them to us so we could get married.
They fit us better than our original rings.
The video cuts off before she says her aunt put her in foster care and kept the brother, btw.
When I said black parenting is a crisis and we can never escape our trauma because we keep inflicting it on our children, I meant that.
I think it's important for people to see what this looks like as well. Real people are sitting for 16 hours a day, not even making a dollar ($1.00) per garment.
Every piece of clothing you've ever worn, whether from Shein or Target or somewhere fancy, was pushed through the sewing machine by a person. Robots can't do it, it's always rows of women sitting at sewing machines
- If I have $5,485 in my bank account. The $485 is free money and doesn't count as spending anything.
- If I spent less than $100 on it, that doesn't count.
- If the thing is less money than I planned, I can spend the rest to make it up bc I was gonna spend that anyway.
Japan is also constantly hit with natural disasters because of their geographic location and nobody says they're cursed or that these are the consequences of their "godlessness"
Methinks it might be antiblackness.
What is the most boomer complaint you have? Mine is I think people take their dogs too many places for my taste and also I think everyone should be more punctual.
Bonus : We actually met another lady who was by herself in Mexico bc they realized her husband's passport was expired at the airport, and she didn't want to waste the trip. She was the only guest at our wedding and we're Facebook friends now lol 🙂
Blocking obtuse negroes. There is enough statistical and endless anecdotal evidence of the abuse of black children, girls in particular. Argue somewhere else.

It's really not dumb to try to reason concept you don't really understand. Someone could just tell her that he DID need it. Algebra's purpose is to find missing values.
Another random thing that pissed me off about VVIP was when I walked in & saw that the “seating” was ripped off office chair cushions that they put on the ground.
Like be for fucking REAL. 😭 not even a whole chair JUST the cushion
On. The. Floor.
Ya'll using Carnival as a get rich quick scheme is pricing poor black people out of most of the celebrations, and we should talk about why that's especially heinous.
You literally cannot attend school in T&T without being immunized. So what is all this anti-vaxx shit from people who have DEFINITELY been vaccinated multiple times?
I sat next to this girl on a maxi every morning for like a year in high-school. Her dad would always walk her to the stop but I don't remember seeing her mother. A couple years ago she and the dad got arrested for the mom's murder.

@javi_draws
I don't understand. They have to build a robot so ya'll won't enslave animals? Like ya'll don't give a fuck about animals so much that they have to build robots to replace them in captivity? Does anyone else think this is absolutely absurd?
Someone called the police to report a home invasion, and the officer asked him if he knows where the station is, but our leaders are stumped by the crime problem. Scratching their heads. Erla coming to ask how we could help.
TTPS doing their jobs might help idk.
Very successfully bought TWO pairs of prescription glasses for $110 USD and paid $74 TTD to clear them.
So I can now *definitively* say that the glasses retailers here are absolutely fucking scamming.
Idt this is small but he refused to drive into my neighbourhood because it was "the ghetto" so I had to walk home after a date. As I was getting out of the car to walk he tried to kiss me 💀💀💀💀
Ya'll: PNM VS UNC! ⚔🗡🛡🤺💥💪🔫
PNM & UNC: *spending your tax dollars on luxury vehicles, businesses and second homes while you don't have a living wage, housing, or sustained access to basic utilities*
So my aunt called last night and told us that she's in quarantine because someone at her office contracted covid19, and came to work knowing he was positive with the intention (by his own admission) of giving it to as many people as he could.
Get fucking vaccinated 🙃
People begged me for years to open a bakery. When I did, no one supported me lmao. Now, baking is attached to the humiliation of that failure, and holds none of the joy it had before.
@spidey473
Not about blocking na it’s about preserving something that actually fun and I don’t wanna be pressured by making it a job. If I were to do it is a business it must happen organically ya know
A doctor literally took my dad's eyeball out of his skull (still attached of course) washed it, cleaned the socket and put it back, but all of a sudden he can't trust doctors🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Dawg I am in a TTRS right now and there's no music playing. Tell me why the driver would let put a DEAFENING fart in this air conditioned vehicle 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I want
@LabourGovTT
to release a proposed budget for a single person to access housing, transport, food and other basic expenses on $3k/month in 2022. Go on, let'see it 😃
Things we have to let go of as a nation? Using disabled, neurodivergent and poor people as entertainment.
*Especially* since we are wholly uninterested in making the necessary structural changes for them to live with dignity in this country.
So a box of bran cereal is $43.75. Three bags of bargain frosted flakes are $50. Just adding this to the "Why don't poor people eat healthy?" discourse.
I got lots, but one of my favourites is that I never giggle nervously at an inappropriate joke. Always stand on business with a "What do you mean by that?"
I’m Just gonna say it: I have a hard time trusting people have little to no black friends or incorporate black folks, in a positive way of course, into their lives.
This thread taught me that men will straight up fucking hate you but due to a lack of emotional intelligence and just general ambivalence, they will simply torture you until you leave.
I'm very pleased to announce that after alladis, I found an apartment. And it's a loft, bitches. I FOUND A LOFT IN Trinidad and now it's mine 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I owe whomever that put good vibes out into the universe for me some head ❤️
This has been what it's like for someone of us trying to get vaccine appointments btw. I ended up getting an appointment in toco, but had no way to get there because I don't own a car.
The privilege involved with some people getting vaccinated is what ya'll not tryna talk about
Venue changed
Promoters got sued
Someone got bitten by a dog
Bunch of people fainted
Me and a security guard square up
The bake and shark tent burn down
The toilets didn't have water
All the drinks ran out
The artists almost missed the concert??
What did I forget?
The problem with scholarships in this country is that poor people, the people for whom scholarships were invented, rarely get them.
Schols should be means based. The gov't be giving the heir to the Bh*gwansingh throne schols and shit. For what?????
*An apartment in Arima with a single light bulb, linoleum floors, and a sink in the living room*:
NO PETS, NO CHILDREN, NO PARKING, NO MUSIC EVER, MUST BE CHRISTIAN, ONLY LONG PANTS ON THE COMPOUND, TENANTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX.
This week some of you discovered misogynoir, where black women are the antithesis to youth and innocence, intelligence, softness. For example, Andrea being older than Ashanti yet regarded as more of a child is misogynoir.
The craziest thing about all this Mark Of The Beast talk is that the whole point of the MOTB is that you would be fully aware that it is in fact the MOTB, and you have to choose to either take it or die for Christ instead.
Which Revelations ya'll read?
A lot of businesses and owners that got bad publicity over the last year are seeing this as an opportunity and ya'll are unhinging your jaws and eating it up
Need everyone to patronize T-Leaf in St. Augustine (Emerald Plaza) so that they can stay open for always.
**I don't know know these people, they were just so nice and the ambience is immaculate.

The girl in the vid asked a simple question, which is what is the purpose of algebra and why was it invented. Thus, a simple answer is required.
Things the influencers don't tell you about starting a business:
1. You're unlikely make a single profit for months.
2. It's double/triple the work of a regular job.
3. If you have neither the social capital nor existing wealth, it is very unlikely that it'll go anywhere.
Everyone, from the gov't to the police, to the citizens themselves: *making it absolutely impossible to live a comfortable life in TT without doing crime*
Also everyone, from the gov't to the police, to the citizens themselves:
"Oh my God, why is there so much crime????"
Here’s an emotionally unbalanced woman who is bigoted against her own child.
I’m terrified for this kid. She is going to damage him in unspeakable ways.
Short answer? We're not. Most trinis our age believe they can make themselves billionaires (see instagram). They don't think the job market is deliberately impossible and the housing market is predatory. They think they're not working hard enough.
When we gonna start organising tho?
When do we start having public conversations about the near impossibility of trinis under 50 building their lives and futures.
Job market is trash. (See the Bang Bang tweets).
Housing is inaccessible. (1.5m for 2br apts)
What we gonna do?
A lot of ya'll have never lived with parents that will intentionally provoke you till it feels like you're losing your damn mind (which is a good thing). All that anger doesn't just show up. It builds over time.

Men pretending they don't know what consent is so they don't have to be accountable for their past and future actions is a daily occurrence.
I think our biggest problem lately is that miserable people are speaking so much. They're being platformed instead of shamed back into their terrible, joyless lives.
It's time to bully miserable people again so we can have peace.
As birthrates continue to fall, social pressure in the form of misogyny will only get worse. Before you succumb to such pressures, consider that society could have made the choice to treat women better to incentivize marriage and childbirth, but has chosen to do the opposite.
Men truly believe that it's within their rights to have access to women at all times, and moreover, that women should not be able, at any point, to decide otherwise.
That's why the gym thing is such a big scene.
You know how we keep saying abusers have a support system of other men
that enable, justify and euphemize their abuse?
Here you have it, a man committed two murders and orphaned his own child, but he's well liked, so it's being referred to as an oopsie.
The problem is that no one is raising boys. People get their blue confetti at the gender reveal and thank their lucky stars because boys are "easier" so they don't have to put any effort into caring for them.
Most boys are quite literally feral.
Seeing a lot of free palestine and "Look at my starbys!" coming from the same people, and it's particularly exhausting bc there are 65 rituals in TT and 16 st*rbucks. At this point, you're going out of your way, you know?
See, there are tiers of Zombies. For instance:
Survivable:
- Walking Dead
- Resident Evil (sans mutations)
Things Dicey:
- Black Summer
- 28 Days Later
Kill Yourself:
- World War Z
- The Last of Us
- Resident Evil (Dogs, lickers, executioner, Nemesis, T-002)
Trinidadians have 14 holidays on a year and 12 months in a year AND STILL COMPLAIN about not having enough time off. In Canada we only have 9. Ease me please. Allyuh have it good.
A lot of ya'll have something I like to call Floating Ideologies.
Ya'll hold on to certain ideologies(ie: violence against women is bad, racism is bad, etc) without doing to work necessary to reach a critical understanding of those beliefs. 1/?
Everybody hot and sweaty, making sure he's safe going forward while it isn't even safe for Trinidadian children to walk through these communities. I could ever take allyuh seriously?
