The 2021 WRPF Showdown delivered a lot of incredible action from several of the sport’s best athletes. One of the most standout showings came from Tamara Walcott, who landed the heaviest deadlift ever seen from a female powerlifter. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 #blackexcellence #womenwholift

I've never put $$$ in the stock market. I don't have a 401k. I don't own property. But today I invested $2,222.22 in digital assets. There's a lot of opportunity to remove UX friction from the process I went through. Most regular folks won't wade through the hassle = opportunity.

We’ve been handed amazing gifts. But freedom is ours to squander. If we choose to waste it all on a society that doesn’t care about others, don’t compare that to a virtue like freedom. Call it what it is: the privilege not to care & the weakness not to sacrifice. /end – at Edina, MN
