It's really important to take stock of where you are and how you got here. It's really important to stay present, to not have your mind wander to a past guided by shame and regret. I'm doing my dream job right now. I'm planting seeds that I'm confident will grow and outgrow me.

Yesterday's conversation and the folks in my mentions are a wake up call that neess attention. Anti-intellectualism is running rampant in this country. People are not able to engage critically because they don't know what critically means. They think it means to disagree.

I'm thinking about how Ruby from Max & Ruby was a parentified child at like the tender age of 7. She had full caretaking duties of a little brother who was insane and constantly in near-death situation. Absenteeism affects girl children in a way that's almost irrevocable.

How is Ruby to develop a complex and fulfilling inner world when she has primart caretaking duties? She's at a point in her life where self-discovery is paramount but that discovery is consistently challenged by a patriarchal system that adultifies you girl bunnies.

I honestly didn't need a grittier A Different World. Even as a sitcom, the original tackled incredibly serious topics same way.

I have an idea for an art project locally. But it would require a lot of money and going through a bunch of red tapes.

Let's assume that we found out that 60% per cent of women commit paternity fraud. What do you think would happen to children if such a law existed in Jamaica?

Can't wait to be laughing at the TikTok videos of thousands of Jamaican women going to prison when this law passes 😂😂😂

In the same way that a woman wanting to use prophylaxis with her partner becomes grounds for abuse because it means that they're "giving it away" to other men. I'm not sure how else to communicate the context of the country we love in and how we arrive at things.
For the silly ducks that cannot understand what she means by misogynistic weapon, much like infidelity, men will accuse women of having "given them" another man's child, without any evidence, as a thing to use as an excuse for abuse.

Women will conceal paternity to cushion themselves against further abuse. And it's rarely ever because of "cheating" and more that Jamaica is full of visiting relationships where THEY walk in and out of homes but still require fidelity
