The number of people experiencing homelessness in the United States in 2018 increased for the second consecutive year. In 2017, homelessness had increased for the first time in seven years. On a single night last year, more than half a million Americans lacked permanent shelter, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A significant number of people staying in sheltered locations in January 2018 – about 4,000 – were likely displaced by presidentially declared national disasters, including Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Nate. 48.

In this video, I am showing you an easy way to incorporate corned beef into your pasta recipes in this recipe that I have called Corned Beef Spaghetti. It is absolutely delicious, and it takes less than 30 minutes to create...easy peasy right?

You take a slice of bread. Cut the inside soft bread out and pour in the omelette mix. One egg makes omelette for 2 toasts. For bigger families, simply use more eggs and toppings. It's a great breakfast omelette idea. It's easy to make yet it looks and tastes delicious.

Name a food you can't stand that most people seem to love. Okro(a) and rice

Nigerian lesbian Judith Ndukwu and her fiance Mona Nghixulifwa both tied the knot at a beautiful wedding ceremony in the Netherlands. Mona is from Namibia, while Judith is from Nigeria. The couple got married last weekend at Beachclub Naturel, Scheveningen in The Hague, Netherlands. In attendance were prominent lawyers, activists, and persons who flew in from the U.S., EU, UK, and Canada. Family and friends were also present including lots of LGBTIQ+ persons. The wedding was officiated by renowned Nigerian gay reverend, Rev. Jide Rebirth Macaulay, founder of House of Rainbow, an LGBTIQ+ affirming faith-based organization. Congratulations to the beautiful couple. Source

In a random conversation with an acquaintance, she says to you "If you don't want her you can give her to me". How would you react to that? What would you think of them subsequently? ...and would you still keep this person as a friend? This happened to me years back but it was a boyfriend at the time. She couldn't wrap her head around why we just wouldn't get engaged already 🙄

Copied: For a lot of Black queer and trans femmes, love is something we have to bestow upon ourselves. We don’t read the comments on any article about us, we carefully curate our social media feeds, we tread very lightly when dating, and sometimes we avoid the mirror. In this context, I couldn’t be more excited to premiere Lafemmebear’s new music video for “If,” off her previous EP — in advance of the release of her new one, Blaq: the Story of Me. This song and video feel like a conjure, a gift, like being seen, like being loved. Lafemmebear asks, and then answers, a crucial question for Black queer femmes interested in survival — and, critically, not just survival but joy: “If I loved me despite the fear, would that be alright?” The video ends with a spoken word piece by Samantha Goff, which I’ll just reproduce in its entirety below, because it’s gorgeous, and powerful, and will be running through my mind for quite a while: To me, Black femme joy is about being unapologetically Black. Everyday, all day. It’s about… knowing who you are, and leaning into that and celebrating that, and figuring that out as a journey, but it’s a beautiful one. And once you’ve found the core of who you are, and can truly live it and express it everyday, that’s when you are living in your joy, ’cause you’re living in your truth. And the times when it gets hard, because the world is not made for Black femmes, especially not made for queer Black femmes, you find your tribe, other people like you, and you commune. And you get through. Source

Archbishop Marek Jędraszewski wrote a pastoral letter dated September 28, which was published in full by right-wing Polish magazine Do Rzeczy. He said: “Currently we are living at a time in which the next great threat to our freedom has appeared, and it is of a totalitarian nature. “Its source is — just like the totalitarianisms of the 20th century — a radical rejection of God. “As a consequence of this rejection, a new vision of man is being proclaimed in which he becomes a caricature of himself. “As part of gender ideology, there are attempts to obliterate the natural differences between woman and man. “Moreover, through the aggressive propaganda of LGBT ideology in the name of so-called ‘tolerance’ and ‘progress’, that which is most sacred to us is mocked.” He said Christians in Poland were “being forced to promote LGBT ideology”, and added: “This clearly reminds us of the totalitarian times of the Polish People’s Republic, when social advancements were guaranteed only to members of the communist party, and believers were treated as second-class citizens.” Jędraszewski also called World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations for sex education in schools an “anti-morality offensive” which would lead to “great spiritual harm done to children and young people”. He also previously said in a sermon that LGBT+ people a “rainbow plague”. He said: “Our land is no longer affected by the red plague, which does not mean that there is no new one that wants to control our souls, hearts and minds… Not red, but rainbow.” American Catholic news site LifeSiteNews approvingly reported the letter from the archbishop, and also quoted a Catholic American student in Kraków who had a bizarre interpretation of the LGBT+ community. Filip Mazurczak said: “While Warsaw hipsters may love LGBT as much as they love veganism, bands nobody else has heard of, and not shaving, a large part of Polish society is conservative and Catholic and opposes this.” Anti-LGBT+ sentiment has been increasing in Poland and LGBT+ rights have become a contentious issue ahead of the October 13 parliamentary election. On September 29, violence erupted during a Pride parade in the Polish city of Lublin as far-right protesters hurled eggs, bottles and firecrackers in an attempt to stop people marching for LGBT+ rights.

Simone Biles is the last person international gymnastics officials should be using to try and make a point. In an effort to deter other gymnasts from trying skills they are not physically capable of doing, the International Gymnastics Federation watered down the value of a new element Biles plans to do at the world championships. That’s right. Penalize the reigning world and Olympic champion, who is almost cautious when it comes to adding difficulty, for the potential recklessness of others. “Am I in a league of my own? Yes. But that doesn’t mean you can’t credit me for what I’m doing,” Biles told NBC after learning of the decision this week by the women’s technical committee. “They keep asking us to do more difficulty and to give more artistry, give more harder skills,” she added. “So we do, and then they don’t credit it, and I don’t think that’s fair.” Every element in gymnastics is assigned a letter, which corresponds to a numerical value. An “A” skill is worth a tenth of a point, and every letter in the alphabet that follows is an additional tenth. So a “D” skill is four-tenths of a point while the rare “J” skill is worth a full point. Biles is doing two new skills at worlds: a triple-twisting, double somersault on floor exercise and a double-twisting, double somersault dismount off balance beam. The triple-double was valued as a J skill, while the double-double was only deemed to be an H. After widespread criticism of its decision, the women’s technical committee (WTC) released a statement Friday explaining its reasoning: “In assigning values to the new elements, the WTC takes into consideration many different aspects; the risk, the safety of the gymnasts and the technical direction of the discipline,” it said. “There is added risk in landing of double saltos for beam dismounts (with/without twists), including a potential landing on the neck. “Reinforcing, there are many examples … where decisions have been made to protect the gymnasts and preserve the direction of the discipline.” Translation: Some gymnasts are trying to pad their scores by chucking skills they have no business doing, and we need to protect them from themselves. There’s no shortage of hypocrisy in that rationale. If the federation is so concerned with athlete safety, why allow I and J skills in the first place? If Biles’ double-double is going to encourage gymnasts to take risks they shouldn’t, wouldn’t her triple-double do the same? And, while we’re at it, why not allow gymnasts to do a warm-up on the floor before event finals? Most bothersome, though, is that the federation has ignored the means it has to keep irresponsible impulses in check. In addition to the difficulty score – the sum value of all the elements in a routine – there is an execution score. If a gymnast insists on trying a skill he or she has no business doing – some of you vaulters, you know who you are – hammer them on the E score. Source

Indeed, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I saved the tweet that recommended Sara Collins’ debut novel, but as soon as I learned that the protagonist was a same-sex loving Black woman in prison for killing her former slave-owning employers, I knew that I had to read it. A caveat: I’m still pondering over this novel’s inclusion on this website, but given the decidedly same-sex loving protagonist, I’ve decided to share my thoughts on it and let you decide. Keep in mind that using “lesbian” to describe female same-sex intimacies was first recorded in the late 19th century, and wasn’t used widely until well after that. The novel opens in 1826 with Frannie Langton about to stand trial in London’s Old Bailey for the murder of her former employers. She insists that she is innocent, but cannot remember anything about the murders. Frannie was their servant, a “gift” to George and Marguerite Benham from her former slave owners John and Bella Langton. After a precarious and somewhat mysterious existence on a plantation in the West Indies, specifically Jamaica, Frannie travels to London with her former owner John Langton, unsure what to make of her status as a newly free person. Confessions travels back and forth in time, meandering through Frannie’s young life on the plantation to her life in London and back again. Offered the opportunity to “give me something I can save your neck with,” Frannie pens her own story, sharing bits and pieces of her life as a slave and free woman. We learn that she serves as Langton’s attendant and scribe as he commits atrocities on the dead and the living, all in search of evidence that would prove once and for all that Black people are biologically inferior to whites, supporting the need to preserve the “peculiar institution” of chattel slavery. While this sub-plot of the novel is relevant given the setting, Collins’ attention to technical and scientific detail tends to slow down the pacing of the novel. These words, uttered by Phibbah, Frannie’s caretaker while still on the plantation and a reference to her first mistress, Miss Bella, would come back to haunt Frannie after her arrival in London. One of the more compelling plot lines in the novel is the “love” story between Frannie and her employer’s wife, Marguerite Benham. According to Frannie: As modern day readers, we know what Frannie may not when she returns, even encourages her mistress’s affections: this love affair is not going to end well for either of them. Frannie experiences uncommon highs as well as devastating lows during her time in London, and while I won’t spoil the ending by sharing any more details, I will note that the ending feels rushed compared to other parts of the novel. All in all, Collins’ neo-slave narrative/gothic novel is a good read for anyone interested in those genres, as well as lovers of literary fiction. It’s also an unconventional take on an interracial female same-sex love story, although it is not marketed as such. The dynamics of power, race, and sexuality all obtain in interesting ways, and while I’ve not written much about that here, I have a feeling I might have more to say about this novel later on.

WhatsApp is the most popular chat app on the planet right now. The Facebook-owned messenger works across an array of mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Mac or Windows PC. It lets users send text messages, videos, photos, files, webpages and more, over a mobile internet connection or Wi-Fi. WhatsApp is not known to race ahead with new or experimental features. Instead, the service plods along and slowly tweaks and improves its apps. As such, new features in WhatsApp are a big deal. We’ve been hearing about some pretty drastic changes in the pipeline for the app, so here’s five incoming changes that you should be on the look-out for… 1 – Vanishing Texts It might sound more like a nasty bug in the app, rather than an exciting new feature, but WhatsApp wants to implement disappearing texts into its app in the future. The SnapChat-inspired new feature will let you set a timer on your texts. So, like Tom Cruise’s boss in the Mission Impossible franchise, you can send messages that will self-destruct after a certain time has passed. WhatsApp looks set to brand the feature “Disappearing Messages,” which isn’t the most thrilling branding, but does the job. 2 – Dark Mode Black is this seasons hottest new trend, with both Google and Apple adding a system-wide Dark Mode to their latest mobile operating system. The option switches every part of the user interface that’s typically bright white to a dark shade of grey, or pitch-black. Apps have to be updated to support the new option – so they’re not blindingly white when users load them up while in Dark Mode. WhatsApp is working hard to support Dark Mode across both platforms, with numerous references to the new option surfacing in beta updates. The first nods to a Dark Mode appeared in September last year, so hopefully WhatsApp is well on track with the design tweak. 3 – WhatsApp Across Devices As it stands, WhatsApp is linked to your personal phone number. It’s a quick and easy way to verify your identity when signing into the app. WhatsApp is looking to become a true multi-platform system that will enable WhatsApp users to use the same account across a number of devices at the same time – in exactly the way Apple iMessage works. The update is a fundamental change to the way WhatsApp works. It means the company can build native apps for Mac and Windows that won’t require your smartphone to be nearby, switched on, or even have WhatsApp installed! 4 – WhatsApp on iPad Until WhatsApp changes its reliance on phone numbers, this is just a pipe-dream. But if the service becomes independent of your mobile number, as outlined above, then a native iPad app could be the next major platform to be supported by WhatsApp. As it stands, WhatsApp does not currently support Wi-Fi only devices. Like Apple’s own iMessage, you’ll be able to pick-up where you left-off with chats, video calls and voice conversations with all of your contacts – with all of your chat history synced to the tablet. The larger screen on the iPad means it’ll be perfect for watching video clips, or reading files sent to you on WhatsApp. 5 – iOS 8 Users Won’t Be Happy Sadly, not all changes are good news. As WhatsApp pushes forward with new features and updates to its core service, it can be difficult for the company to maintain support for ageing operating systems and platforms. Over the years, we’ve seen WhatsApp ditch BlackBerry, Android devices with version 2.3.7, and other smaller phone platforms entirely. WhatsApp has recently refreshed its support page and put another operating system on the chopping block. This time, it’s iOS 8 users who are going to lose access to the Facebook-owned messaging app. In its updated support page, WhatsApp states: “WhatsApp for iPhone requires iOS 9 or later. On iOS 8, you can no longer create new accounts or reverify existing accounts. “If WhatsApp is currently active on your iOS 8 device, you'll be able to use it until February 1, 2020. For the best experience, we recommend you use the latest version of iOS available for your phone.” Source

A new study has proved LGBT+ people routinely face discrimination from Uber and Lyft drivers, who cancel their journeys almost twice as frequently as with straight passengers. The study “When Transparency Fails: Bias and Financial Incentives in Ridesharing Platforms” revealed that LGBT+ people and black people were the most likely groups to be cancelled on. Professors Chris Parker and Jorge Meija conducted the study by creating passenger profiles with a picture of a rainbow flag, suggesting that the rider would be LGBT+ or an ally. They also created profiles with pictures of black riders and names often perceived as black, such as Keisha, Latoya, Rasheed, and Jamal. In a study of 3,200 journeys, they determined that the LGBT+ or ally “customers” were canceled on almost twice as much as those without the rainbow symbol. “We know that LGBTQ riders face discrimination with these rideshare apps, but we thought that it was an interesting little twist, that even just signalling your support for the LGBTQ community could result in a canceled ride,” Parker told NBC News. Similar cancellation rates were seen during peak and non-peak hours. The inherent bias was even worse with the study’s black riders, whose journeys were cancelled nearly three times as often as white riders. However, unlike LGBT+ passengers, they were less likely to be cancelled during peak hours, suggesting that the increased cost of the trip was enough of an incentive to accept the journey. Although the study only proved drivers’ inherent bias before a LGBT+ person enters the car, there are LGBT+ people have often complained of discrimination once inside an Uber or Lyft. Uber drivers have been accused of giving customers low ratings because they are LGBT+, and there are numerous examples of LGBT+ couples being thrown out of taxis for public displays of affection.

A Muslim and Christian lesbian couple got married and the photos from their wedding were shared online. The Muslim woman wore a hijab for the ceremony. Both women were in a white dress as they posed surrounded by nature. The photos were shared with the caption: “A Muslim and a Christian who say yes. progress.” But a number of Twitter users did not agree that it was progress due to the fact that the couple are not only of different religions but also of same sex. They condemned the union and insisted the Muslim woman is not a true Muslim because she ended up taking off her hijab. Source

Saw this online If the judge ordered you to be with your ex for a year or get locked up for a year, what will you do? 😉😄😃

Hello Ladies, It's a very wet independence day morning. Nigeria does need all the cleansing it can get. 🙄 As the title suggests, my question is this: How long do you need to have known or dated someone for before you feel certain enough to marry them?

A topic finally. Lol. Do you consider yourself as having a strong support system? Who would you share your greatest news with? Who would you turn to if you needed to just cry and get things off your chest?

Interesting question I found online, and thought to share with the community. Can someone be everything you want and still turn you off?

Hi Ladies... I am always pondering one thought or the other. Last night, I stumbled on a plethora of posts/comments on social that got me thinking. Are homosexuals in particular (and in general) more "damaged" than the average heterosexual. What are your thoughts?

President Muhammadu Buhari has noted with deep concern, reported attacks on Nigerian citizens and property in South Africa since August 29, 2019. Consequently, the President has instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, to summon the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria and get a brief on the situation; express Nigeria’s displeasure over the treatment of her citizens; and assurance of the safety of their lives and property. President Buhari has also dispatched a Special Envoy to convey to President Cyril Ramaphosa his concerns and also interact with his South African counterpart on the situation. The Special Envoy is expected to arrive in Pretoria latest Thursday, September 5, 2019. Source

The Instagram celebrity alleged that many gay men in Africa are dating beautiful women just to stay and look normal. He also told women not to feel they are responsible for their failed marriages because some gay men have gotten into unwanted cages called marriage just to be socially acceptable. Oyemykke wrote; HES JUST NOT INTO YOU. A lot of GAY men dating beautiful women just to stay & look NORMAL. A lot of Bi men are in unwanted cages called marriage just to be socially acceptable. He wrote; Homosexuality, Lesbianism , Pedophilia & these other topics are issues we need to discuss . The more we frown at them instead of discussing them, the more pain we cause ourselves. Do we bring our guns & shoot them all? Or do we find means of understanding what we could do to help the society?? #HumansNotDemons For clarification sake , I did not say any of these above mentioned groups should be legalised. I said they are topics we need to discuss instead of frowning upon because they do exist. Pedophilia can be sickening to myself & yourself but it’s still very much being practiced in Africa. As a matter of actual fact, it’s more acceptable there than Homosexuality is ?? ( all because HOMOSEXUALITY is frowned upon in the religious books ) It is important to get my point instead of replying just for the sake of it. We have issues that need to be tackled, addressed & brought to light not tuck them under the Beds. Source

A friend sent this to me, and it got me cracking up, so I thought to share. What are your thoughts?
