what sucks is that life could be so easy. so easy. we have enough resources to feed people, house them, and lift them out of poverty. we could distribute those resources fairly and give people room to actually live. instead, millions suffer while a handful of billionaires hoard more wealth than they could ever spend.
SOULJA BOY TELL EM!

How do we wake up on a Sunday morning in South Africa to the news of 27 people shot dead in two seperate mass shootings - 17 in Johannesburg and 10 Cape Town - and just go about our day as per normal? Watching the Proteas and the Boks with a beer? This can’t be the new normal.

At the airport, watching a dad with his probably seven-month-old. He has her in the air, shifting her around mechanically, like a robot. She’s kicking her legs and squealing.
Mom comes back from the bathroom and immediately straps the baby to her chest. She leans in and snuggles.
Nobody tells Dad to engage in stimulating play with his child. Nobody tells Mom to pull her close and soothe her.
They interact with the same child differently because men and women are different.
Children don't need two adults tossing them in the air. They don't need two parents soothing and comforting them. All stimulation and no security leaves them unmoored; all comfort and no challenge leaves them afraid to venture out.
Children need one parent who promotes attachment and one parent who promotes independence.
Children need a mother and a father.
A culture that treats either one as optional asks children to go without so adults can feel affirmed.

In 1998, a 13-year-old girl was abducted and raped at knifepoint in Alicante, Spain. The rapist, 63-year old Antonio Cosme, was sentenced to 9 years in jail.
7 years later, in 2005, the victim's mother, María del Carmen García, was waiting at a bus stop when she saw a man approaching.
"How's your daughter doing?" the man asked with a smirk on his face.
It was her daughter's rapist.
Antonio was out on day release.
Enraged by what had just happened, Maria ran to the nearest store, purchased 1.5 litres of gasoline, and walked into the bar that Antonio had just entered.
She doused him head-to-toe with gasoline, lit him up, and stood back and calmly watched as her daughter's rapist burned alive in front of her eyes.
Maria was sentenced to 9.5 years in jail for her act of revenge, but was released in 2018 after serving 5.5 years.
Today, she lives freely in Spain after being reunited with her daughter.

I may delete this in an hour, but screenshot it if you want. I have nothing but contempt for popular people who use their influence to promote BETTING. In a country where gambling is destroying lives and families, monetising that misery is unconscionable. Have some shame!!! 😳 🤯
Cant believe there are people against building the wall
A suspected smash-and-grab thief was killed after being struck by a vehicle while fleeing across the N2 near the Nyanga off-ramp, Cape Town.
The suspect allegedly smashed a car window in bumper-to-bumper traffic, grabbed items and ran into oncoming traffic. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene.
