As Black Africans all over the world scream racism and turn the global media increasingly against Ukraine, because their border officials prioritised the evacuation of Ukrainian citizens over foreigners (they did not do it to only Black Africans. I went there to verify. They did it to all non nationals), let us remember that the largest church in Ukraine is the Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations. It was founded by a Black African. Specifically, a Nigerian. Mr. Sunday Adelaja.
Reno Omokri made these submissions via a post on his Instagram page a few minutes ago.
“So, Ukrainians are so racist that they gathered and worshiped in large numbers at a church with Nigerian roots?”, the message stated. “Where are human beings most open and sincere? Of course, that would be in a house of worship!

Clara Perlmutter—or @tinyjewishgirl, as
she’s known to her 772K TikTok followers—found internet fame during the depths
of the pandemic. When lockdowns forced her to leave NYU for her parents’ home
in Connecticut, Perlmutter, who had spent her college career mastering the art
of the perfect on-campus fit, satiated her aesthetic boredom with a series of
TikToks staged in the middle of her jam-packed closet. The college student
showed viewers how she would dress for occasions that didn’t exist, trotting
out obscure ’90s designer pieces and thrifted favorites in the process. Two
years later, Perlmutter has remained true to her own formula, drawing on an
expansive knowledge of fashion history to source archival pieces while pulling
together ever-more outlandish outfits. To find out how she does it, we slid
into the @tinyjewishgirl DMs.

Ukrainians do not want to flee. They do not want to pack their lives into a suitcase. They do not want to crowd aboard packed trains that carry them away from their homes, or trudge for days with their children. They do not want to leave behind husbands and sons and parents. They do not want to begin again in a foreign country where they have nothing, far from those they love.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — For years, Zara
Banks had been looking forward to her 14th birthday — the moment, last June,
when her life would no longer be on pause.
Ever since Zara, a transgender girl, was 8, she has been certain she wanted to grow up to be a woman. After conversations with her parents and sessions with a therapist, she began transitioning socially: changing her name to Zara and pronouns to she/her. When she turned 9, she began treatment with puberty blockers, drugs that would place her physiological development in limbo until she was old enough — 14 according to her doctor — to begin estrogen therapy and develop a feminine body.
But last spring Arkansas enacted a law, the first of its kind in the nation, barring physicians from administering hormones or puberty blockers to transgender people younger than 18. The bill, called the Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act, overrode a veto by Gov. Asa Hutchinson and was to go into effect on July 28, about a month after Zara’s birthday. It is now on pause because of a legal challenge from the American Civil Liberties Union.
Zara has been able to get hormones while the court case proceeds, but worries about what the future holds. “I was just really happy, after finally waiting so long, to get something that I’ve needed for a very long time,” she said, sitting in her suburban backyard with her parents, Jasmine and Mo Banks, amid buzzing cicadas.
