I randomly found out yesterday afternoon, around 2:30, that I had today off. And it feels almost like a waste because if I had known we were off, I would’ve prepared for it, but since I’ve already mentally locked it in as a work day, I’m about to get some work done.

I'm realizing how lucky I was to have an excellent AP English Comp teacher in high school, as I am increasingly disappointed with the state of writing instruction. Along with the sad state of reading and math instruction, it's just another way we're failing to educate our youth.

THIS IS US (2016) pulls off a pilot twist. What seem like separate stories about three 36-year-olds and a couple expecting triplets turn out to be one family, living across two timelines. The reveal recontextualizes everything. Dan Fogelman had us hooked.

a democrat party led by mamdani instead of schumer and jeffries is gonna get us to 450 electoral votes easy
Scoop: Zohran Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for president, people familiar with the talks tell me.
He's arguing that progressives can't afford to squander their midterm momentum.
Behind closed doors, Mamdani has also said he's uncertain whether AOC will launch a White House run, the sources said.

They’re gonna be really upset when the girlies wake up to this at large
Was chatting with a pregnant Gen Z girlie and she told me that her husband didn't drink at all for 3 months leading up to her pregnancy and was a huge health nut. She's about to give birth and her only negative pregnancy symptom was fatigue.
Anyway, I am connecting healthy dads/sperm health to easier and better pregnancies for the first time ever at 36 years old.

if i said this is a male problem too and not just a structural problem.. like yes the ride is an issue but those 2 boys were told explicitly not to do that and they still did it. this is what “boys will be boys” mentality does. i’m glad they were charged
🚨 The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office has charged two 13 year olds following an incident at the county’s fall fair.
Deputies believe the teens intentionally grabbed onto one another while on a swing ride, despite prior warnings from staff not to do so. As the ride slowed, it became unstable, causing swings to slam together violently.
A woman was injured and taken from the fairgrounds in an ambulance, while two children were treated for minor injuries.

Seeing women my age who went thru this always gets me, cause man I never knew how privileged I was to grow up with family and protection. The Cyntoia Brown story gets to me too cause I never got how these girls could be punished and institutionalized so harshly
Keysha’s mother was a heroin addict who sold her own 10-year-old daughter to a pimp for drug money. The girl was violated the same day and put to work on Figueroa Street before she finished elementary school. She never saw the inside of a junior high or a high school. The only education she ever got was how to survive on a corner in South Central LA.
Her pimp beat her for years. Dragged her across the pavement, shattered her tibia and fibula, broke her ankle - and sent her right back out to the corner that same night with a broken leg. She was his top earner and he was going to use her until there was nothing left.
At 17 she tried to kill him. She waited until he fell asleep, superglued him shut, and when he woke up and came for her she drove an ice pick into his side and punctured his lung. She was tried as an adult and got nine years for manslaughter.
When she got out at 26 she had no education, no family, no one waiting for her. She went straight back to the only thing anyone had ever taught her how to do. This time in downtown LA where the money is worse and the streets are harder.
Her mother overdosed on heroin and died. Keysha didn’t go to the funeral. She says she didn’t feel anything when they told her. The woman who sold her for a bag of dope was gone and it changed nothing.
She’s 39 now. She’s never been in a relationship. Never had a first kiss. Never had a sweet 16. She says the only time she ever felt loved was when she was being used by someone. When a man was paying her that was affection. That was the closest thing to love she ever knew.
“I wanted to know why didn’t I have a happy ever after? I’ve never had a happy ever after - or a happy ever start.”
Is Keysha a survivor of the streets - or living proof that some children never had a chance from the day they were born?

So basically they’re mad Megan won’t sit down with them, play media games, or seek male approval (men who are misogynistic & already hate her anyway)… 😭😭😭
🚨 Akademiks says Megan Thee Stallion is in a “DEAD ZONE” in her career and admits he has NO IDEA how her label could turn things around.
“I couldn’t sit even with her label or any team of hers and try to figure out where she goes from here.”
Adam22 questions why Megan’s massive Instagram engagement isn’t translating into more attention for her music, with the panel claiming her recent single barely made any noise.
Adam then argues that Megan is making a BIG MISTAKE by focusing too heavily on female audiences instead of appealing to male rap fans.
“The dudes are where the real fan base is at.”
The panel also questions whether they’re underestimating Megan’s popularity among women or whether her music simply isn’t connecting anymore.

I used to think they were joking, but they genuinely, unironically think you can run a far left candidate in every single part of the country, and they expect every candidate to be far left whether it’s in New York City or Mississippi. They can’t conceptualize someone not as far left as them.
