If you’re a linguistics nerd like me, this article explains in a bit more detail the similarities between Irish and Jamaican accents. Interesting stuff! I went to school in Jamaica for a summer and I loved hearing the patois of the people there. https://twitter.com/chollydays/status/1685152763901014016

A World Without Men

In Korea, a growing movement of women is saying no: No to heterosexual marriage; no to childbirth; no to dating; no to heterosexual sexual relationships. They are choosing to stop fighting the patriarchy and instead leave it behind.

This feminist in the article joined 4B after discovering a site where men posted nude pictures of their female relatives & discussed how to get away with rape!! https://twitter.com/ForZzzeee/status/1634112065685053441
