This is hands down one of the funniest videos I have ever seen in my entire life.

😂😂😂.

I think a lot has been said on the topic of feminism, a lot has been said on the topic of gay rights, and much had been discussed in regards to black issues both in Africa and abroad. So when someone takes a step into the spotlight to lend their voice to these issues I expect them to contribute something new to the discourse. But what I am finding is a lot of people being given a platform to do a number a things:

1. State the obvious.

2. Make points that have already been brought up.

3. Fail to discuss issues that are unique to you and the immediate group that you represent.

It pains me when Chimamanda Adichie gets on Trevor Noah’s show and talks about something so elementary as men holding the door open for women because they view women as weaker. This discussion of women being viewed as the weaker gender is the basis of the majority of feminist debates. I came to know about Chimamanda like many people when a portion of her Ted talk entitled “We Should All Be Feminist” was used in Beyoncé’s song ***FLAWLESS. As a black woman it would be nice to hear you discuss more complex issues. For instance, intersectionality would be great. Discussing how feminism focuses on the struggles of white women without addressing the distinct forms of oppression that are unique to black women. As a Nigerian woman it would be beautiful if you started to address things that are unique to women in your home country— a country that has a high rate of female circumcision.

While we are speaking about Nigeria…. I know it must be difficult for gay people to live in a country that has laws against homosexual acts. However, gay Nigerians please be mindful of who you look up to in regards to gay activists. One “activist” that sticks out to me is Bisi Alimi. This is someone who does not strike me as intelligent, but has been given a platform. This person as well uses their platform to discuss elementary ideas, and brings nothing new to the discourse of queer issues. It’s evident in his loud and embarrassing tweets.

This is a person that states the obvious, and isn’t shining a light on anything new.

I would also like to quickly touch on that fact that I see so many “pro-black” activists that speak due to having white guilt. I’m seeing many people go hard for the fight for black people, but it’s fueled by their failed marriage to a white woman, or their shame in being biracial. You may say that every person in the fight contributes to the overall goal, but if your motivation is coming from the wrong place, your actions will be misplaced. So, we should all be mindful of who we follow, be mindful of how they live their lives outside of social media, and be conscious of their motives. I see too many people blindly following people who are “pro-black” but are being led down a fucked up path because they have a person vendetta against a specific white person rather than having a goal to dismantle the system of whiteness.

The reason for the post is not to call anyone out. I feel like this post is needed because we need to hold these people who speak for us to a higher standard that we have been holding them. We need to challenge them to be smarter and dig deeper. And if this challenge exposes that they are not mentally equipped to be the mouthpiece for certain groups in society then we need to find people that can rise to the challenge!

That shrek one is threatening

How’d y'all leave out this one?

A man has built Ogo, a hands-free wheelchair for his paraplegic friend (video)

In addition to being a much more practical use of Segway tech, this thing also looks as nifty as a wheelchair ought to. Most of them look like they were designed by the Soviet Bureau of Things That Are No Fucking Fun.

when u fall in the bounce house and everyone keeps jumping so you can’t get up

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.

Important

Fuck.

If you scrolled right past this - GO THE FUCK BACK UP - this is a huge PSA

jfc I’ll be having some words with some folks
