Your talking stage might already be doomed

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. [View in browser](=.kAEUPIGc27dNlBm7UtKo9UhOABNr0U80WCTij72Z92g) [Zikoko Daily] 26 April, 2024 Hey . Someone asked about my neighbour’s dog, Dumbelina a few days ago, and it reminded me I haven’t been giving you updates about her. Well, Dumbelina has given birth twice this year, and the way I’m looking at that dog, her eye is still outside. It’s not like her owners are mating her, but our babe is going out at night to meet with her lovers. Any advice on how to remove ashewo from a dog’s eyes?

AS TOLD TO I’m Tired of Men Wanting to Date Me Out of Pity =.pe9BIVhHBBWL30LtrfsLItVRLZRB24qKl8Wi0m4WXL4 Juliet* (31) is a person living with a disability. She talks about her past relationships with partners who showed her more pity than love and how these experiences make her suspicious of romantic relationships now. Here’s a snippet: “People seem to think I shouldn’t have a choice just because I’m disabled. They expect that I should be happy some men are even showing interest. But what kind of interest is “I’m willing to give us a chance”? That sounds like they’re trying to save me from a life of loneliness. It’s just pity, and I’m tired of it because I know a day will come when they will rub it in my face.” [Continue reading here](=.KdTJGFWMKfoO5908HZ0zTZ-9dwdEWXBEZnC4dGiY5zw) *We'll be tweeting answers to this on our Twitter account at noon, so feel free to tweet us your answers with the hashtag [#ZikokoDailyQuiz](#) --> Zikoko Daily's Top 2 How do you know when a talking stage has no future?
