90k in Belgium is not the same as 90k in SA
Belgium is stepping up efforts to recruit skilled South African workers, offering salaries of up to R90,000 a month, relocation assistance and as many as 42 days away from work annually, including public holidays.

TO BE FAIR, I think the reason for this besides the hierarchical thinking is bc homophobic cishet poc online don’t tend to “speak over” queer people the same way, ironically due to them being more bigoted they dont think queer oppression is even real/don’t give a fuck about it
whereas even white queer people online tend to at least *believe* racism is real at baseline, even if they’re racist and think it’s overstated, so they’re way more likely to speak about it in comparative terms which gives more opportunities for poc to feel spoken over lol
Yk as a kinky-ish person I’ve always wondered why all the defences for kink are around the submissive side. I thought it was bc there are more subs than doms in the world but maybe it’s bc almost nobody truly thinks the dom side of the interaction is defensible lol
You guys really use that stone butch blues book like the bible lmaaaooooooo
because everyone forgot it was traditionally that the femme did SW and the butch took care of her before, after, and sometimes during (hanging out nearby ready to bust in there if anything went sideways)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No sources support the claim that this was a “traditional” arrangement or anything like a common occurrence. A relationship like this does appear in Leslie Feinberg’s 1993 novel Stone Butch Blues, which is a work of fiction.

Frankly patriarchy is not a western invention either and it’s just deeply historically illiterate to suggest that it is.
Frankly I often feel like people who claim patriarchy is of exclusively western origin do so because they feel like they wouldn’t care about it otherwise.
Yes, AND the friend isn’t even single!! She’s just (maybe) childfree😭

as a single childless woman, you can show up for countless bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, kid's birthday parties, anniversary dinners etc. but if you want even a modicum of reciprocation suddenly it's mortifying and beyond the pale. lol ok.
My friend wants to plan a couples, no-kids weekend getaway, splitting the cost of a large AirBNB, in January for her 30th birthday. I really do not love this idea (husband is mortified), neither to spend the money nor to get someone to take the toddler for 3 days. It would be a 2.5 hour drive away for us, too, so it’s not like we’re close if something happens. I haven’t been away from him for even 1 night yet and he still just seems so young! It would be very hard to leave him for that long.
Am I just a party pooper who needs to get over it? Genuine question. Like I actually need advice here guys

Further proof the “village” will never go both ways lol
