Life with Las B...

  I pray never to embarrass my ancestors like this. Femicide is a subset of homicide. Homicide is basically killing another person. Femicide is killing a woman because she is a woman and is the highest direct consequence of misogyny. That's what the likes of Ted Bundy did, as was that Kenyan man. Androcide is the killing of men/boys based on his gender. It's what Jeffery Dahmer did to his victims.  Infanticide is killing of children on the basis of them being kids. Like the killing of twins. Also with the China case of one child's family. But china also leans more towards femicide in the infanticide cos they mostly terminated the female children. So still femicide etched in the infanticide. Femicide is more commonly known because obviously the world we live in. Femicide is the highest outcome of misogyny, but you don't hear about androcide cos misandrists don't go crazy like men do with misogyny. There is a whole list of words for all types of killings and they all ...

  This man told his wife he didn't want kids. Yet, he was doting on his girlfriend's kid from a different man. He strangled his 8 month pregnant wife and dumped her in the sea. Before the murder, he didn't agree to the party his heavily pregnant wife is supposed to host to go to a holiday party with this new girlfriend. This is an annual party their family used to organise yearly. He told this mistress he was single initially. Eventually, he told her his wife is dead. His very 8 month pregnant alive wife. And the day he said he lost his wife, that was the same day he bought the boat he eventually disposed his wife and unborn son with. Note, he'd been married to his wife for 5 years at this point and again, everyone thought he was a wonderful man - the wife included. The girlfriend was eventually the one that even exposed his other life to the public. Cos prior to her calling the police, he was perceived as a responsible man. So no, these conversations of men absconding...

  NFL Great quarterback, successful Career, beautiful wife of over a decade, 2 healthy kids. And yet he lost his life cos he was fooling around with his mistress. This mistress was 16 years his junior. What the police concluded after investigation was that he wanted to break up with the girl (cos he even had additional girlfriends by the side), so the girl shot him 4 times and shot herself too.  I tried to feel sorry for him but I just couldn't find it in me. What a waste

Starting a whisky brand really does fit Beyonce. It's like that relaxation with a shot after a long tiring day. Or gathering with peers. Or being on a formal or even social outing. Beyonce, herself is a social drinker and prior to her launching this, it never really occurred to me how much she has referenced alcohol in her songs. Just off the top of my head, I have placed these lyrics from different songs - "Yonce up on his mouth like liquor" "Cigars on ice, cigars on ice" "Bottle in my hand, the whiskey up high" "Davis in my bones" "I've been drinkin', I've been drinkin', I get filthy when that liquor gets into me" "Sippin' my favorite alcohol (Alcohol), Got me so lit, I need Tylenol" "Me and my ladies sip my D'USSÉ cup (sorry, I ain't sorry)" And I'm sure there would be more if I do more research. So, this totally fits her. The brand gives off opulence, relaxation, luxury, wealth...

Disclaimer - I'm talking based on my perception of him on TV. This is very subject to change in light of new information. With that said, Freddie is the sweetest guy to have come out from Love is Blind. And he has the most beautiful smile, it literally lights up his eyes. So it was quite sad to see that light ebbed from his eyes in subsequent episodes cos of one girl. He is a full package - he has his own beautiful beautiful house, dresses well, is successful, takes care of his special needs brother, is close with his family, and he is not even arrogant. So I'm wary that they didn't show us everything. Now, he is not without fault - he did confess to cheating almost a decade ago. That's not the worst thing I imagined to be his toxicity especially considering his looks at that... Undoubtedly, UK season is peak reality TV. I absolutely enjoyed this season. There was only one shitty character, and it's a he. But Best season by far and the gap is not even close. And...

When I was watching Mad Men, I just couldn't relate to it. But everyone especially those in their 30s and 40s swear it's one of the best drama ever. So I decided to quit it, and I'll go back to watch it in my 30s. Same with this sex and the city and Desperate Housewives. At this my age, I'm not the target audience. When I started Grey's anatomy, I totally loved it immediately. Loved it even more than House M.D even though House is objectively the better medical drama. I think it's mostly cos Meredith started as an intern and even though it's different fields, the internship experience is similar across the board. The point here is just there are movies that aren't enjoyable to you cos it doesn't speak to you, or you're not at the level to understand the nuances of the characters.

Again, the best place to get book recommendations remains goodreads. But to be very specific, check people's tags. I finished a book and read a review that caught my attention so I decided to check out the person's page. And she has a shit load of specific tags depending on the trope. And in this "would reread a million times" tag, I found like 2 books that were also in my "absolute-favourites" tag. That just tells me we have a similar taste.  So I've added all her books to my to read as well. That's how I find book recommendations. This Goodreads and reddit
