How’s the relationship with your parents? Do you call them?

Who said anyone was writing a wrong. Yall putting so much of yall own trauma in.

Post simply said telling your kids the phone works both ways is lazy.
How yall jump to that being a confession that they never call is telling

To say there is no equity in child-parent relationships is completely wrong. Is there equating every aspect of? Of course not, but giving young people the message that their parent’s feelings are independent of their actions crazy.

Aint no equity in a parent-child relationship. Never was. Never will be. You are 100% responsible for this person's EXISTENCE and the main thing keeping them alive for their first like 2 decades.

They basically eat half of you and you say "You're welcome." It's a labor of love, not equity.

Kids are kids, but asking them to put in work in a relationship isn’t crazy if you’ve also given them a phone.

Building healthy relationships isn’t restricted to adults 🤣

This is true though. I get that this is an easy laugh, but nobody wants to be the only one calling anyone.

Mans: I want to feel some equity in this relationship by you initiating contact too…

Internet: Look at this dufus with feelings.

The nerve of a grown man telling his child, "The phone works both ways," is crazy bum activity. 😒

I’m betting he would suddenly find the courage to speak out if the people in danger looked like him.

They all do, but only then.

You can NEVER trust POCs, including Black folk, who want what white people have, aka Proverbs 3:31:

They do all this pontificating while Black and Indigenous people tell them they have to dismantle white supremacy. Racism is expensive and they don't mind eating the cost.

Justin Zimmerman @jztidecat.bsky.social · Aug 28

White folks have to give up white supremacy. That’s what it takes. At least the majority.

Anthony Michael Kreis @anthonymkreis.bsky.social · Aug 28

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.

That rapper dude has always been a misogynistic, color-struck anti-woman hack, I don't care how much of his music folks like. If you want to see who you can *really* trust, pay attention to how they've treated Black women—all of them, not just the ones they're attracted to—over the years.

Remember the Black woman who got fired for telling everyone to self-love over unprotected sex. Healthcare community was real quiet back then.

My problem is where were these institutions before now?

The systematic dismantling had to start somewhere, Black & Hispanic communities, and these institutions were did nothing.

“‘It is about the systematic dismantling of public health institutions, the silencing of experts, and the dangerous politicization of science,’ Mr. Zaid and Mr. Lowell wrote. ‘The attack on Dr. Monarez is a warning to every American: Our evidence-based systems are being undermined from within.’”

We talk about Blacksky stealing market share from bsky (😉), content moderation, and all the stuff we ship 🚢

Support us on Patreon » The goal of Bluesky and the ATProtocol, and of the push for protocols over platforms in general, has always been to see more people building their own communities in a modular fashion. One of the most interesting projects demonstrating this potential is Blacksky, created by Rudy Fraser, which started as a custom feed within Bluesky but has grown into something much bigger.

As a side-note, there is also no other player in WNBA history who has had both a 15-assist game and a 15-rebound game in their career - never mind at the same time. #WNBA

SEVEN triple-doubles for Alyssa Thomas this season ‼️

Thomas is the first player in WNBA history to post at least 10 points, 15 rebounds, and 15 assists in a single game.

Pretty apparent to me now, that this level of incompetence on display by Democrats can only mean the leadership is subject to the same goals as republicans. We are so corrupt.

Slavery was America’s first big business. Before we had the railroad industry, enslaved Africans harvested sugar, cotton, tobacco, and rice. Banks accepted Black bodies as collateral
