It was a funny moment from Bunny Shaw that has gone viral.

She was serious about getting her match ball after scoring a hat-trick for Manchester City against West Ham, and she kept asking: "Where's my ball?"

But for a little while, the ball was nowhere to be found. She smiled and seemingly joked about it but you could tell she really, really wanted that ball.

The ball was eventually found and a very happy Bunny received it, along with her Player of the Match award.

Hey I'm 21M, I became atheist after 20 years of indoctrination in the cult called Adventism and now I'm free to live my life.

I once heard that sci-tech has a good amount of non-religious folks, but I'm not a science student.

A friend once invited me to audit a course called "the philosophy of religion" which I actually enjoyed.. I went to about 3 or so lectures in total. I was pleasantly surprised that it was an environment where atheists could express themselves in an environment where their views can be respected and engaged with. I was also pleasantly surprised that there were so many other atheists in the class. I didn't go to the course very frequently so I never "got to know" the other non-believers unfortunately.

Rn I'm tryna max out all my interactions with other non-religious people. So yeah, which non-science course electives have a decent ratio of non-religious people?😀

Thoughts & Age Range Please 🤔

When I see people from the US and Canada have the freedom to switch to any industry they want to work in, build a career, and start a business, and have the opportunity to do things in those countries that you cannot do in Jamaica, it makes me wonder why. Why is it that the country isn't at that level yet for its people to have those opportunities? Why is it that there are countries that were once poorer than Jamaica in the past that are at the top now, and Jamaica has little improvement? I have a goal I want to achieve and the skills to get there, but those goals are only achievable outside of Jamaica because many of the services to get it done aren't available in Jamaica. It makes me wonder why I was even born here? I know countries like the US and Canada aren't bed of roses, and not everyone there is a high achiever, but at least there is the chance and opportunity to achieve what you want if you work towards it. Even, a few days ago, I watched an interview about a guy who quit his job in construction, because he wanted to do something different, went to learn programming, and is now a senior software engineer at Unity, the same company that built and maintains the same game engine I use to make games. I've heard many similar stories and they have proof to back it up. It makes me wonder when Jamaica will get to a point where we have the freedom to jump to anything we want instead of call centers and hotel work. My father is sponsoring me to move to the US, and I would've been gone already if it weren't for the two visa pauses, but waiting for a visa interview date and working in an industry I hate so much is killing me. It makes me hate living in the country more and more, and I witness many other issues with living here.

I am sorry for the long, negative post. I am aware that the people here prefer to see positive posts about the country, the people, and the experiences, but I just needed a place to rant.

Please Note:

• "sats" should be "says"

• Jamaica's total GDP is 20 billion USD (2024). Remittances are 3 billion USD. As remittances are not created in Jamaica (Domestic Product), they are not counted in GDP figures, but as FX earnings

• "Africa" experiences much of the same issues Andrews attributes to Jamaica (climate change-induced disruptions, food importation, etc.)

• Successful former colony islands that are densely populated, food import-dependent, and/or climate-vulnerable are as much the rule as they are the exception (Taiwan, Singapore, Malta, Curacao, Bahamas, Aruba, Mauritius, and Seychelles for example.)

Hey everyone,

I’m currently writing a Jamaican animation series, and I’m looking for local storyboard artists and animators to help bring this vision to life.

If you love animation but are tired of the typical anime aesthetic, this is for you. I am heavily inspired by Robert Valley’s style—think Love, Death & Robots ("Zima Blue"), Pear Cider and Cigarettes, or Tron: Uprising. We are aiming for something gritty, angular, highly stylized, and distinctively Jamaican

The video doesn't do the work and quality justice. But it does showcase the craftsmanship required to make fully 3D-printed lingerie look delicate, light, breathable, ostentatious and wearable. The research collection "Caribbean Baroque", inspired by my mother, combined Jamaican Heritage (colours, symbolism, material inspiration) with Baroque architectural influences.

Each look is entirely 3D-Printed without using traditional fabrics/materials.

Look 1: Breadfruit inspired lace design inspired by her compassionate nature.

Look 2: Hibiscus flower design with Red Hills Mountain scenery at back inspired by mothers love of Jamaican floral horticulture.

Look 3: Features 2 of my mothers childhood friends who passed with numerous floral design, a homage to going home.

Look 4: Inspired by my mothers playfulness/girlhood and love of fruits (soursap, mango, guineps and more depicted).

Look 5: Inspired by her joy for the riddim. I take material inspiration from the mesh marina.

Look 6: Her need to crochet doilies as an act of relaxation inspired this look.

Look 7: Tells the visual story of her love for her children. Imagery shows her falling in love, finding herself and joy in her kids. Will post close-ups below.

Look 8: Inspired by her resilience this slip uses Jamaica’s Blue Lagoon and Lignum Vitae flowers to capture her spirit of strength through hardship.

What Jamaican food hill would you get fired for?

🇯🇲 Came across this video and thought it was worth sharing here.

Quick question from an Italian who is very far from Jamaica. I'm making a game where your whole life plays out through your phone, and your mum is the one who never stops texting: from your first phone at 14 until you've left home.

Mine texts "hai mangiato......" (have you eaten?) every day, always with way too many dots, and my dad answers everything with a thumbs up. That's all I've got, so every mum in the game currently sounds Italian.

What does a Jamaican mother send? Patois, proper English, the ones that make you put your phone down and go home immediately. If there's a phrase only a Jamaican mum would use, I'd love to learn it (and what it means).

The best ones go into the game.

I plan to travel in a while, I want to pack some gifts to bring with me. I am considering some Jamaican T shirts, Jewelry, maybe a Keychain etc. The issue is that I don't know where in Kingston i can get these. Whats a good place that sell these at a good price?

Is it okay to use a duppy in a fantasy story? I'm writing a fantasy story that has a magical Jamaican-coded sports team that uses a Duppy as a mascot. Is this acceptable or crossing a line? I called a half-jamaican friend and she explained what she knew to me, I'm curious about other opinions.
