I don’t know who grandma just approached me in WalMart to tell me my shorts are unbecoming for a woman of God but she needs to chill and mind her business
The invasiveness. The assumption. The audacity. The time of my life that I will never get back, thinking she was about to tell me something important or relevant
Imagine if I walked up to people wearing crosses and asked, “Which one of your ancestors was beaten severely enough into believing what you believe and passed it onto you?”
Mind. Your. Business.

Stop assuming people want you to evangelize them or save them from an eternity in the hell they don’t believe in. Pleaseeeee invasive religious people. Please!

I want to talk about zip code, poverty, abortion access, and the sterilization of black and indigenous women.
So we all know that throughout the 20th century, neighborhoods were segregated. But how does zip code intertwine with employment, poor credit scores, and lack of adequate housing to keep the cycle of poverty thriving today?
And how does that cycle of poverty make it easier to perpetuate racial genocide?

Black women are over twice as likely as white women to have a pregnancy end in miscarriage or stillbirth. Georgia just effectively made abortion illegal AND wants to punish women who miscarry with charges of 2nd degree murder.
I have been disgusted by this news, but not surprised. We’ve been warning folks about this for years

loving the responses to this bc research I’m currently doing says a lot of domestic violence is rooted in men losing jobs, making less $$, or feeling unneeded bc we live in a patriarchy (and men are expected to be breadwinners) its a blow to their status among friends & family
So while people are saying women are shallow/toxic for not wanting to “date down” (even though the majority of educated black women do, for example), is it really? I think it’s just yet another way of trying to avoid triggering the wrath of the male ego.
Many men CAN NOT handle a partner making significantly more than them, and take out their frustrations by cheating or being emotionally or physically abusive. That’s a risk a woman has to weigh when considering dating down

Since Brian Cates won’t answer me... on if he has even TALKED to Col. Meck, I’m going to give a line-by-line response.

Bc I actually HAVE talked to Col. Meck - several times a week - for the past couple years.
@MSMeck4 Invents NOTHING - he doesn’t even describe his background as IC... he was an aviator.

He doesn’t hide his background - or that he went to jail - he is VERY OPEN about it.

In fact, that is how/why he became involved in F&F.

Exactly wrong.

Perhaps if you had talked to him you’d know the significance of his time in jail.

Long story, Brian... but you’d need to ask him to understand.

I’m cc’d on 2 years worth of info that Col. Meck sent in to congress & other Depts/Agencies.

It's the night before thanksgiving. It's cold and wet outside. #CampFire evacuees are still bracing the elements and looking for shelter. Here are some images I'd like to share some images from my time exploring the Chico Walmart parking lot, a temporary refuge for some.
Folks like Sarah, Martin and James, from Magalia, have made the most out of their circumstance. A parking spot was their living room. They set up a propane heater (which was stolen in the middle of the night later) and a television to watch the latest news on the #CampFire.
Brenda Wilson tried very hard to keep her dog Scooby warm. The dog was shivering. She slept in the car. She was cold herself. She was distraught and wanted to go home. When I spoke to her, she had no idea if her home survived the #CampFire.

Walmart insists you show a receipt. They can’t do that. 1) you didn’t sign a membership agreement (aka Costco) and 2) once you buy a product, they’re searching your property. You have the right to refuse. @Walmart any comments on how your worker treated my mother?
2) She behaves differently pre-recording. My mother had to go into Walmart for a can of paint (we avoid at all costs) and she insinuated my mother was stealing when she said “no” to the receipt check. She threatened to call a manager.
(3) the manager arrived. Allowed her to belittle the customer and speak in a patronizing tone. She then doesn’t like hearing the word “sh*t”? Please 🙄 #walmart #KnowYourRights #Shopping #CustomerService

1) We are each a spark of the Divine. Worthy as ever. And yet, sometimes we lose sight of our inherent value. That inner voice can become muffled by the narratives we play over and over in our mind. What are the messages that wear us down? In this moment, let’s challenge them.
2) What has caused us to forget that we are deserving? In this moment, let’s remind ourselves that our capacity for growth and strength is incredible. How can we reframe our experiences and begin viewing our lives from a more elevated perspective?
3) Are we ready to stop buying into old thoughts patterns and start trusting more empowering ones? Know this – there is so much more in store for you. The more we begin to believe this, with God’s help, the sooner we will receive what we hope, pray, and strive for. #believe

A Thread for Men: When your #woman is #emotional, #crying or #stressed out, do not hold it against her. One of the lies of #feminism is that men and women are the same, including that we should process #emotions the same way. Reject the lie. Listen and learn in the posts below.
#Women have much greater #hormonal fluctuations each month than #men do. Simply put, a woman's thought life and #emotions are more prone to high highs, and low lows. This isn't a "design flaw" but rather how #God made a #woman to be in touch with the needs of small #children.
Nothing is more short-sighted as a #man than viewing a #woman as an "overly emotional" or "flawed" version of a man's thought process or #emotions. A woman that does not let her emotions out will become very #passiveaggressive, #depressed or #angry. Your job is to be an #outlet.
