This is going to be a sad story for so many families. People are saving mahogany dining sets, breakfronts full of exquisite glasses and plates, and whole sets of silverware for their children who do not want, need, or have a place to put them.
Your unwillingness to approach men you like means you are stuck with only the men who approach you. You aren't attracted to "confidence", you're lazy and the that limits your pool of candidates.
I'm not saying we should fear automation. But I was able to order McDonald's in DC without having to deal with a soul. And the store, instead if having 5 cashiers had 2 and 2 machines.

Jamaicans will now be insufferable.
Kamala has a Jamaican father. The Democratic Vice-Presidential Nominee has a Jamaican connection.
As far as Jamaicans are concerned, WE will be vice-president 🤣!

They’re mostly really well made. But some families are struggling when their kids do not live in spaces to take the furniture or just don’t want them because they aren’t their style. Rough.
Next month is 6 years at the Bar. I've been a lawyer for SIX years!
Mi always a guh be a frighten Friday bout it. I applied, didn't get in, studied Linguistics, worked as a teacher for 2 years, reapplied, nearly pop out my locs, but here I am! Trust the timing of your life!
At 23, I was living in my mother's house and teaching at St. Hugh's. I was also wondering how my friends had so much money and how dem life did look suh nice and amazing. I was sad and felt kinda stuck.
Thank God we get more years after 23!

I, a law student in Barbados, watched Eastern Caribbean countries send flights for their students to go back home to vote in elections.
I can't play this game with ya'll, thanks.
At 16, a Jamaican child can consent to sex. That child, however, has difficulty accessing condoms, difficulty accessing the pill, difficulty accessing sexual and reproductive health services, and must be in school until 18.
You are not a slacker.
You are not careless.
You are not lazy.
You are a hard working, productive, TIRED human being.
Go sleep. Start again tomorrow when you're fresh.
Imagine making it to the Olympics and having the moment be stolen from you because your former teammate wants to tell people that if they're not competing, everybody should turn off the Games. Idk how we could be friendly after, fam.
Dear Young Women,
It is lovely that a man older than you likes you. I hope he has the best of intentions. But sometimes, just sometimes, an older man has gone out of his way to go after you because a woman his age can spot his bullsh*t from a mile away. Stay safe, Princess.
Dear countries that can’t call election winners on election night,
THE ELECTORAL OFFICE OF JAMAICA IS AMAZING! We go to bed in this country with leadership settled before 10 p.m.!
How can I sleep if I don’t know who has won?!
#WeAreNotLikeTheOthers
I love these salary conversations. Know why? Because someone is reading about salaries and going into the job market for the very first time. They will now start off with information so many of us never had. And it will improve their lives.
Dear Jamaicans,
We are not to listen to foreign clashes. We have been raised on a diet of sound clashes. We have high standards. We have no appreciation for training sessions.
Don't check on your "strong" friend. Instead, remember that you don't have any strong friends. Just people who mask better than others.
We're all out here dealing with life.
Imagine making 36k a month and reading that 480k is the bare minimum. Imagine being told that you don’t get to rest until you figure out how to get there. Nuh mus tun a quenga or chop line!
They called me last night to tell me so I knew. But to see it written out in black and white?! To see the school that has made me the woman I am today decide to honour me?!
I am crying.

Good morning!
180 years after the enslaved in the Caribbean were freed, we now exist as our ancestors wildest dreams. You carry the unspeakable joy of 300 years of pain, torture and death coming to an end. You are unstoppable! Happy Emancipation Day!
Every 🎂 birthday 🥳 is a blessing. But this one? This one is extra special to me. I'm looking soberly at the year ahead but I'm excited as heck on the inside!

Stop waiting for your friends to go places with you. It's nice to have company. But sometimes, you need to plan a date with yourself for yourself. You'll be surprised how different the world seems when you step outside and see what fascinates you without the external validation.
Find me the video with a man sitting beside his wife as she explains she cheated on him left, right, and centre. Find it where he looks peaceful and accepting in his pajamas as she vaguely makes it his fault. Find it.
Caribbean Studies shouldn't be a CAPE subject. We need to teach it to the kiddos from Grade 9. That way I wouldn't see adults bopping around saying Guyana isn't a Caribbean country.
They would learn that geographical definitions of the Caribbean aren't the only ones that matter.
“An entire generation was raised to expect that good grades and extracurricular overachievement would reward them with fulfilling jobs that feed their passions. Instead, they wound up with precarious, meaningless work and a mountain of student loan debt.”
One of the greatest women’s 100m clashes, at least on paper, will take place in Eugene, Oregon, with the staging of the Prefontaine Classic, a leg of the Wanda Diamond League, at the Hayward Field today.

30+ Twitter. What is some advice that you would give the younger ones now so that they can avoid making a mistake that you made before?
This relates to:
-finances
-relationships
-career
-life in general

One day men will understand that we don’t need to be touched when you’re passing through a crowd. Also, our waists do not need to be held if you’re trying to say something to us.
Last week I lost my Grandma. I lost my touchstone, my role model, my cheerleader, and my prayer partner. I lost the woman who held up half my sky. My grief is raw and the loss hasn't yet fully sunk in. I've lost my Genna. I've lost my best friend. 💔
I hope you don't call that person you don't need to speak to just to get comfort this Christmas. 🤗 You're doing fine, sweetie. You'll just start the madness all over again and you've grown so much that you don't need to.
