So let me get it correctly...all this time some people were talking about specific parts of NIDS they really wanted ALL of it to go...ok...so it wasn't about "certain parts"...I see...I realise one common thread in the fabric of many arguments and I can say it without fear/favour
The same way many who have a lot to say against SOE are unlikely (in their minds) to be victims of murder or their family members...many who have certain positions against NIDS don't go through endless hassle to function as a citizen...they're at the point if feeling immune...ok
But you know what really disturbs me? The deeply ingrained hypocrisy used all the time under the "the poor man"...anti SOE, "the poor man's rights"...anti NIDS, "the poor man's rights"...I had no idea "rights" wasn't about ALL Jamaicans...unoo cyaa trick me nuh time...
Let me remind you what I said before today and what I'm certain I will say again...when the time comes and the right voices shout loudly watch and see how easily many will change the song they now sing...more chickens are coming home to roost and not just those for "the poor man"

Research:
Showed coconut oil was bad...Ja turned it's back on the product...others made a fortune...now we jump and are in love with it again and are struggling to have a foot in the world business
Research:
Shows black people having learning deficiencies when compared to Caucasians...well we've clearly proven that wrong...
Research:
Shows Jamaican men are the most "missing" when it comes to children, yet it has been proven wrong for ages and we still stick to the old time claimed...research

One of my godfathers back in my likkle yout days, still today is Douglas Vaz so was Edward Seaga...in my late teen years I told Uncle Dougie how I felt about the fallout between the two and he was good with it...we still meet and speak regularly to this day
We spoke one day about @annmarievazja and my wish to see her in full time politics but I doubted Poomps would agree...Uncle Dougie gushed about her being more in sync with the people from all walks of life, JLP, PNP ...and agreed maybe it was a good idea...where? Portland...good
Then I decided to really invest the time to make sure she was made of true political strength...because not every right person is right for politics, it is not for the shakey, or those easily shaken...and I found a strange thing about @annmarievazja

I remember my days at THE St Richard's Primary when field trips/movies were an essential and established thing we did as students...it was part of education/civic pride/fun all wrapped up into one and the student body was from a mixed background...mainly middle/upper admittedly
We did Port Royal, Kings House, Dunn's River, Carib and a whole host of other places...there was a price attached most times and affordable to most...some didn't get "permission" but it wasn't about cost most times..."nex ting mi sen him an him guh drown" but almost all got to go
If 2 didn't make a trip an appeal was made for the next time using "they will feel left out and not benefit like everyone else" and almost surely by the next outing there they were...

This is a thread for people - particularly teenagers and people in their early 20s - who're worried that some stuff the alt-right says is correct.

This is a thread I wish I'd had access to myself in my early 20s when fascists were bombarding me with propaganda.

I hope it helps.
Firstly, let it be firmly established: the right-wing are liars who lie.

A massive amount of the stuff the alt-right tells you is just a flat-out lie. Here's a far-right US ambassador having to admit, in shame, that he lied about the Netherlands.

Here's anti-trans hate group Mass Resistance admitting to having "concocted" the entire "bathroom intruder" lie in order to convince people to fight the expansion of LGBTQ rights.

There is only ONE WAY to kick off thread on Magna Carta & Constitution. Rodenberry = Illuminati. Hidden but M-AN knew Man's Rights = KEY
COGLEY (Star Trek-Original) is OVER the TARGET "In the name of humanity fading in the shadow of the machine, I Demand It.. I DEMAND IT!!!"
Rights of Mankind = Right Hand Path & Service to Others
Man is SOLE CREDITOR of all commerce.
Man is EXEMPT from LEVY = Lawful Tax on Corporations
Against LAW for Corporation to ACT on MAN
May only act on corporation
No longer allowed to Seize Seize Real People or Property
Separation of Church & State = VATICAN OWNS BOTH
Magna Carta & Organic US Constitution grants RIGHTS that STOP ACTIONS against MANKIND
Magna Carta (1215) = Right to Travel King's Highways FREE of TOLL
Right to Work - Right to Travel to Work -
No Work Violates Bills of Exchange

Short chapter today, so it's time for #LainaReadsAnne!
#LainaReadsAnne When we closed the last chapter, Marilla had decided to allow Anne to stay but not to tell her til the next day. She now goes in to tell Anne it's time for bed.
#LainaReadsAnne Unlike last night, tonight Marilla tells Anne that she must pick her clothes up each night and fold them on the chair, not leave them on the floor.

Honestly this kind of confirms to me that she was being gentler with Anne because she could tell Anne was so upset.

1/A decade ago, I took my first device-free, solitude experience.

Ten years and 100s of “solos” later, I can say with confidence that if I could give any bit of advice to my younger me it would be to spend at least one day a week in device-free solitude.
2/ Backstory: I took an 6 week study abroad trip to Maine (no phone or computer) and channeling our inner Thoreau, we all took what we called “Solos” — a weekend without talking to any people or, of course, using any devices.

NELP: lsa.umich.edu/nelp
3/ When I first began my solo, I remember playing with branches, kicking leaves — I was bored. I was restless. I wanted to come back to mainland. Then, two hours later, I experienced my first solitude high — a feeling I’d seek for the rest of my life.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
