Does anyone with chronic pain use a #theragun and if so, does it make you feel better than gardening? Because I have plants in my cart and they cost a fraction of the theragun… asking for a friend, of course

Gaza : Monsieur le président, votre honte « C’est une honte », s’est contenté de dire, le 13 mai sur TF1, Emmanuel Macron à propos de ce que fait Israël à Gaza et qu’il s’est refusé à qualifier. La véritable honte, c’est de s’en tenir à ces …

fwiw, don't think they're trying to portray themselves as heroes. I think they're trying to alert people to the fact that we're in a really bad place. which I think is worthwhile? 1

As we mark Nakba Day on May 15, millions of Palestinian refugees are languishing in camps as Israeli authorities accelerate the forced displacement of Palestinian communities.

Governments should press Israel to honor Palestinian refugees' right of return.

There’s nothing wrong with healthy living, it should be encouraged

“Wellness grifters” aren’t about a healthy lifestyle. They’re about selling stuff & blaming chronically ill people for being sick

Most of what they recommend is too expensive for people on disability, and a lot of it is dangerous

I was all “the only pope I recognise is the one who gave birth on a horse” but then I learned the new pope has a Haitian grandad and 2-3 tweets criticising the US VP 😭😭😭 www.instagram.com/reel/DJarkps...

I will never shut about #PopeJoan / Pope Yohannes. How iconic to be the only pope to have given birth - on a horse no less - resulting in the Vatican fondling men’s nuts for the next few centuries to make sure it would never happen again. Such a baddie.

The Met Gala + Sinners this week reminded me of pride and looking good in your “Sunday best”in good times and bad. Reminded that after many ends of many of our worlds, when the world is burning, if there’s one thing black people will always do is have space for grace and time to look FLY as fuck

Finally went to see #Sinners and all i wanted to do when i got home was cradle and play my guitar… I wanted to honour ancestors who passed on their love through my talents. To this day, I don’t know anyone in my family who can sing… That scene with folk in a mascarade with their ancestry? Beauty.
