Africa is at a turning point.
Companies are buying our Shea Nuts in bulk and exporting them. This means the women who have made Shea Butter for generations are being pushed aside - and our authentic Shea is at risk.
Shea Butter isn't just a product, it is Africa's gold. Its in your lipstick, your creams, soaps - but without us protecting it, very soon the world will be using only cheap imitations.

Don’t like this post. Don’t comment.
Just reblog it silently and watch what happens. Most people won’t understand why this works. If this reaches your dashboard, you’re part of the experiment now. Let’s see how far human curiosity can travel.
Interesting how fast humans react to mystery. Now imagine if the same speed was used to protect lives. Somewhere, people don’t need experiments, they need safety, warmth, and food. Curiosity moves dashboards. Compassion saves humans.
For some of us, this isn’t a game or a test.
I’m writing this from Gaza. Where electricity disappears, food is uncertain, and tomorrow is a question mark. While this post travels freely across screens, real people here are trying to survive another night. If you reblogged this out of curiosity… maybe let it continue out of care too.
If this experiment reached you, it means strangers connected without knowing each other. That same connection can become food, medicine, warmth, and safety for families in Gaza. You don’t need to save the world. Just don’t break the chain of care. Reblogging keeps voices alive. Helping keeps humans alive.
Looking at what national news outlets are up to right now, one might not realize a whole major US metropolitan area is, you know, sort of under attack by paramilitary forces. Wild.
im sorry the What is being What now???
While it's not going unreported entirely, what's been happening in Minnesota and in Minneapolis–Saint Paul in particular since Renee Good was murdered is not getting the attention it should be.
There are already 2000 gangsters from DHS deployed, and "hundreds" or "1000" more are on the way, depending on which Trumpland person you ask. As a point of reference, the Twin Cities' actual police total just under 1200 (600 in Minneapolis and 590 in Saint Paul according to the depts' sites).
The feds there are more or less attacking people at random. They've gone door-to-door for "citizenship checks" (completely illegal). They've knocked doors down when residents haven't complied (obviously also completely illegal). In addition to abducting and brutalizing the immigrants they come across during their rampages, they've done the same to US citizens of color and are also harassing, stalking and physically attacking observers.
Here are some local sources:
ICE intensifies Twin Cities operation after killing of Renee Good, protests (MPR News—link won't embed)

Below are some videos from observers. I'm linking to Bluesky because that's where I saw them, though many are originally from/also available elsewhere. I apologize for the rancid formatting below but it was the best I could do quickly-ish. The images are previews; click the links in the timestamps to watch.

I also recommend checking out this guy's work:
A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
Reblog if you are daunted by the complexities and unknowns
Saw this going around and tested it myself, and I can confirm that this is unfortunately legit. Four hidden bots have been placed in any existing or newly created Discord server that are harvesting data, images, and most concerningly, one seems to be a face swap bot.
Due to them being invisible, banning them from your servers isn't possible without their ID's, which I've typed out for easy access.
1153984868804468756 1288638725869535283 1090660574196674713 1104973139257081909
Banning is done with the /ban command with each string pasted in one at a time. Four ban commands in total.
Image proof below and further information. This was in my PERSONAL server that has existed for +5 years. Discord is harvesting your shit without your consent, fight back.
Hey so in case you're like me and wondered: Can you ban members without them being in the server?
The answer is yes, you absolutely can! It'll look like this - the numbers you paste will be what's "banned"
However my sibling tried this in her servers and found that One of them was NOT a string of numbers, like so:
And for clarity it isn't a difference in user or device, this is what she got elsewhere:
So if you ban these numbers and the message shows the actual username? Pretty sure that means they were in there.
Very unpleasant way to check the veracity of this post but hopefully this is a helpful tip for anyone who was concerned - my sib would have No Reason to add these in herself and didn't have any clue it was in there.
Personally, I'd say even if you are still worried about misinfo/fearmongering/etc from this post, think of it this way - worst case scenario is you're banning a bot you'll never use or need. Not a person, a bot. There's no real damage done playing it safe and running the ban commands through, aside from maybe losing some time doing so.
Best of luck everyone.
Children dying from the cold, mothers screaming in pain and anguish, men praying to their Lord against injustice, the elderly groaning, the sick praying to their Lord to ease their pain and cold—all this in the tents.
Your donation and participation are very important; my family survived death due to the rain, floods, and cold.

Believe me, ignoring this post hurts more than the war itself. If you can’t donate, at least share.
I tried not to be afraid, but I couldn’t. I am shaking. Severe malnutrition and anemia have reached a critical stage.
If I die, my family will die after me. Please donate so I can afford my treatment and healthy food to keep going.
Everyone
Please donate to him! The Israeli occupation is preventing aid from reaching Gaza which means they can only buy super overpriced food.
Please donate so he can afford food and help his anemia and malnutrition.

Haven't seen anyone talking about it here, but vocal transfeminist and writer Tara Knight has been sent a threat from the fbi insisting that she stop speaking about "radical gender ideology" and get rid of the past 3 years of her work.
A black trans woman is getting personally threatened by the fbi for being a transfeminist. What the fuck. Hopefully this gets more reach than my usual posts so that people who are able to can support her.
Here’s her latest post about it.
[Transcript: So as you all have likely heard I was forwarded a letter from the FBI informing me that my work and my platform and everything I’ve built over the past three years has to go, um, for propagating what they are calling ‘radical gender ideology’. Um, this comes from Trump Executive order, um basically saying I’m a propagandist for domestic… september eleventh… thing. Um, I would… I— I’ll just say, point blank, short period. I have no intentions of stopping anything. Maybe to my detriment but I’ve never been the smartest one. That’s— all I’m gonna say on this.]
Just as I was writing that transcript she posted this—
[Transcript: So I was told and informed that it’s probably in my best interest to tell all of you where you can find me in the event that I get deleted because having a platform is probably the only thing that will keep… everything okay, if you will. So I will provide the links and ads to my TikTok, my Substack, my Bluesky, the like. You’ll be able to find me there in the event… y’know. Y’know.]
TikTok: @ bundleof.styx
Bluesky: @ bundleofstyxx.bsky.social
Substack: @ bundleofstyxx
^ just putting this here along with the transcripts, please support her if you can
So brave of her to keep going!
She has gone silent. People need to spread the word on this while we still can.
Seeing the jovial sarcastic “whatever you were looking for doesn’t currently exist!” Tumblr message after someone’s free speech was likely just been terminated is a little disturbing.
Does anyone have information on how many people are getting threats like this?
This list will have more added to it as I do the research to make more lists.
For a general list check here.
Japanese has been added.

Jamal's fundraiser has reached its first short term goal of $5,000 after months of fundraising. Which is good! I'd like to thank everyone who saw our posts and donated, it really means everything to Jamal <333
The fundraisers next short term goal is $7,000 so I'm making this post to make that happen. I hope we can do it much quicker than before, so I urge you to donate and/or share because this fundraiser really needs it!
Jamal is vetted, see his info on the pinned post of my blog
depressed and can't get off social media? log in on the computers at the library to scroll instead. it can be a small step to get out of a spiral by changing your environment.
sucked into online discourse? check out a book on the topic from the library. read it out of spite. every time you wanna argue or doom scroll think "ooh I'll show all those uninformed wankers who's boss by being so well read on this subject" and pick up that book.
have a task you know you won't do with other distractions around? do it at the library. leave your distractions at home. it's just you and the task now. it's like being at school.
feeling spendy? go to the library and check out as many books as humanly possible. take them home and admire your indulgent excess. you don't even have to read them. just do it to fulfill your desire to Aquire.
feeling angry at the world? pick a topic. pick a wanker politician. go to the library and write a letter to them on the computer. print it out and send it to them.
need some whimsy in your life? print out your favourite memes at the library and decorate your space with them. stick them on your stuff. fill your life with small pieces of joy.
I live and die by the library. it's like church to me. library is sacred. all hail library.
