Great thread. But I’ve recently learned something I’ve never seen mentioned before about crime in black neighborhoods, especially in medium-large cities…

Black neighborhoods tend to do 2 things, politically: they don’t participate as much (voting, engagement, holding local governments accountable) and they want softer enforcement of crime. This leads cynical municipal leadership to…

I grew up in “the homeschool community.” My parents& extended family were level-headed yet also very friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. People were always invited to our house, all kinds of people The best way I describe them is the dinner party scene from “The Aviator,” except ofc we weren’t rich

This is the internet, this is sci-fi, we can do whatever thought experiments we want! BAP isn’t going to change society with a tweet…is he?

Here are some possible 2nd order effects of mandatory paternity testing: Actually 1st the 1st order effects: it would punish cheaters, especially cheating wives. I believe this would affect the cohort male poasters are most worried about, educated married WW, the least, bc they’re least likely to cheat, but OK it would scoop up the outliers

I’m not going to qt that poor man who lost his sons to the 🏳️‍⚧️ cult and a woman who’s not even their mother.

But I do want to talk about Family Court: Men will say it’s biased toward women, women will say it’s biased toward men. I’m here to say that I do not know a single person—man, woman, or child, who’s been thru family court& feels like they got treated fairly

1 yr anniversary of my “flirting for beginners” guide for women, so I will follow it up today with “how to walk.”

Master the walk and you will master life. Too many people, including, tragically, otherwise cute young women, walk around slunched, heads down, shoulders rolled forward, GAMER NECK. Please don’t let this be you! You’re better than this, you are a PRINCESS

The new Florida legislation to END HOMELESSNESS: it’s even better than I could’ve hoped 🧵 Tuesday the FL Senate passed HB 1365 with DeSantis expected to sign. The main takeaway is that IF municipalities want to allow camping on public property, they have to follow certain rules, like providing 24 hr security and bathrooms. But it gets better

Alice Von Hildebrand has a beautiful metaphor in this book, “Letters to a Young Bride.” She recommends keeping an emotional “treasure chest” of all the nice things your husband’s done for you so that, during fights, you can remember why you love him

Love is desire, true. But faith is work, continual work, for something important you believe in. Marriage is not a feeling, it’s something you DO. And the best marriage advice I can give anyone is to expect to give a lot and get a little.

HOW TO GET PREGNANT: 🧵

OK, you need to be maximizing the husband’s testosterone& the wife’s relaxation WIFE: you need to chill out. No strenuous exercise, just go for walks, meet your friends at coffee shops, don’t take on stressful things at work. Eat carbs, if you gain 3 or 4 lbs, that’s OK.

PLACENTA PERCRETA

One of the most dangerous complications of pregnancy, it used to kill everyone. Still dangerous, but now, in America, we have the mortality under 10% 4 major problems with placenta adhesion: previa, where it implants over the cervix; accreta, where it digs into the lining of the uterus; increta, where it goes all the way into the uterine muscle; and finally the worst, percreta, where it invades other abdominal structures

The CDC used to say a child should be able to recognize 50 words by age 2, but they moved that milestone out six months (to 30 months) after speech development was retarded by masking. Anyway, you can do much better.

How to get your child to recognize 600 nouns by age two: 🧵 The ability to grasp increasingly abstract concepts is limited by brain growth. Recognition of this fact is why homeschoolers relax about their kids only spending a couple hours/day doing schoolwork. No point in planting ideas in ground that isn’t ready

Ladies: if men are not walking up and talking to you, don’t blame low T levels or phone brain or whatever, take some personal responsibility and learn to flirt. I haven’t used these techniques in years but I guarantee they still work. Let Auntie Bones teach u So u should NEVER ask a man out, why not? Because he might not be interested and then you’d feel embarrassed, and u don’t deserve that, you’re a princess. My methods have plausible deniability baked in &they can all be switched ON when ur single& OFF when ur taken

It is a small, frail, young surgeon. Second gen immigrant - all he wanted was to make a buck -

HANDMAID’S TALE

(it’s not a romance)

I read this book years ago and did not like it, but recently I’ve been thinking about it again, because so many women I know are obsessed with the book and show and I wondered, why? 🧵 Story’s set in future America, after a devastating war that involved chemicals targeting reproduction. A lot of the population is sterile. Christian nationalism rules, tho leaders are cynical and use religion as control, they don’t really believe.
