the president of nigeria is about to fuck boko haram up and cut his own salary in half and criminalized female genital mutilation

the president of guinea built/is building infrastructure and school and wells all over the country and is decreasing youth unemployment exponentially

the president of cote d’ivoire made school mandatory of children ages 6-16 and banned plastic bags while also building ultra modern trasportation infrastructure

the future is for real in africa

I think this should have a hell of a lot more notes on it than it does. This is what good news looks like folk, and the continent of Africa surely deserves a shed load of it.

Today (April 7th) is Remembrance Day for the Rwandan genocide. While Rwanda still faces challenges, their recovery has been incredible. They now have the highest percentage of women in parliament around the world (one of only two countries to have over 50% women), their gross national income has risen each year, and life expectancy has risen from  48 in 1990 to 65 in 2013.

The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against gay people. Don’t ever forget that.

June 12, 2016. Putting a date on this for when it gets reblogged months from now by people who think the post is about something from 30, 40 years ago.

lately i’ve been replacing my “i’m sorry”s with “thank you”s, like instead of “sorry i’m late” i’ll say “thanks for waiting for me”, or instead of “sorry for being such a mess” i’ll say “thank you for loving me and caring about me unconditionally” and it’s not only shifted the way i think and feel about myself but also improved my relationships with others who now get to receive my gratitude instead of my negativity

This is some 2017 mood

POPE TWITTER IS FUCKING POPPIN

SWEET POTATOES YES. I adore Fr. Martin.

Looked into it, and it’s real. Not only that, but if you look at his twitter account, he made some more awesome tweets that day that make me really happy to be a Catholic. I’ll include screenshots and text versions of them below.

It saddens me that a #trans student cannot choose what bathrooms to use. A basic need. It’s an affront to their dignity as human beings.

And who is harmed by a #trans student using a bathroom? I’ve seen women using men’s rooms when the ladies’ rooms were full. Who is harmed?

As usual, the one who is made to suffer indignities is the one on the margins, the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them.”

But for Jesus, there is no “other.” There is no “them.”  There is only “us.” So we must be about openness, acceptance and inclusion. #trans 

Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the confused, the outcast, the minority? The Christian should. #trans

Because Jesus did. 

His Facebook post that day says something similar:  Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the outcast, the confused, the hurt? Who should stand with the one seen as “different,” the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them”? Who should stand with people who often stand alone? The Christian should. Because Jesus did.

'Moonlight' to Expand to 1500+ USA Theaters This Weekend Thanks to Multiple Oscar Wins

This is especially significant because the film is already out on Blu-ray, DVD and VOD.

Woot!!!

France got kicked out by the slaves.

It was also the 2nd country in the Americas to get independence, 30 years after the USA.

Why Is Haiti So Poor?

When they won recognition from France in the mid-19th century, HAITI WAS FORCED TO PAY REPARATIONS FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THEIR INDEPENDENCE (free slaves = property damage).

Officially this payment was made in return for diplomatic recognition, but was supported by multiple warships. The payment was around $20 billion in today’s money. Given that Haiti’s GDP today is only $13 billion, one might see this as a further reason why this country has such a diverging development compared to its more wealthy neighbour, the Dominican Republic.

Happy Black History Month!

This is why I love and respect Haitians and Haitian history so much. 💕

[palansamusa-deactivated20211003]

Yo, they deserve their money ASAP

[amindica]

so so so many “under developed” nations have a similar history of having to pay their colonizer, whether is was through direct “reparations” or through the UN and the IMF. Haiti’s revolution was hardcore though. look that shit up
