my thing is why are we boiling penguin eggs

That's why rape is so psychologically damaging. Victims of other crimes can try to soothe themselves with justifications, but rape victims know they were victimized because the perpetrator wanted to, chose to, & derived pleasure from the terror & pain of the victim.

I wish archival records that detail exactly what missionaries thought of Africans were more available across African libraries. It's a travesty that this isn't accessible within the African curriculum.

You guys know any Rwandan illustrators you can recommend for programs regarding children but also willing and able to do graphic designs and/or posters?

This weapon must be one of the most terrible things ever made by human beings - specifically designed to cut people to shreds and Israel launched it at Palestinians sheltering outside of al-Shifa hospital. No words can do justice to the depravity and evil we are witnessing.

Every time I read posts that say “not all moms are nurturing” I fight the urge to reply with “in fact, most moms aren’t nurturing” Most moms aren’t nurturing, nor have the skill of loving, especially children. Society has sold the lie of motherly unconditional love, that…

…every woman has internalised this lie and believes themselves to be loving, despite there being no evidence of it in their relationship with their children. This is one of the things that breeds the narcissism we see in mothers.

Most people think the cause of maternal narcissism is only unprocessed childhood trauma. When it’s also due to the belief that becoming a mom makes one automatically capable of unconditional love. How could she ever be wrong if everything she does is ‘out of love’?

Accepting that birthing a child, doesn’t make one posses the skill of loving makes one teachable and willing to become better. Women who become great moms have accepted they don’t know it all and need to learn to love.

A 16-year old school girl just died due to the negligence of Lycée Notre Dame de Cîteaux's administration.

She's now permanently disabled 🧵 Ministry of Education | Rwanda Rwanda Investigation Bureau

This child abuse—because it is indeed child abuse—has been going on for decades, and is especially prevalent in schools run by Catholic nuns. If you're a woman/girl who has been through the boarding school system in Rwanda, you have either experienced or witnessed this abuse.

So many people losing their loved ones My heart goes out to you all 💔
