And apparently the people currently on the Block didn’t even get to compete in the HOH comp.

The Sky and Aces game being referred to as “Halftime Game” day is so unserious LOL

Yo Hyde Park was so damn cute today. Black folks was out ripping and running. Got me a cute bracelet from a street vendor. And there’s a middle aged Black man live and in concert singing Janet Jackson’s “That’s The Way Love Goes” and Sade. Like doing the whispers and all lmaoo.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:

“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

Quick afternoon tea break to get over the work day hump!! ☺️☺️

I feel like the refs should be better mainly for the integrity of the game. The last #WNBA game of the 2024 playoffs ended in controversy and debate partially because of their inconsistency. But idk, happy to hear more thoughts.

I would’ve given WP/ Sally some benefit of the doubt with the conversation because the refs are bananas.
But using that picture for the column when a 3x MVP (A’ja Wilson) and one of the top contenders for MVP (Napheesa Collier) dealt with injuries too??

I know what you are.

“For a long time, women have been treated like little men. There is a real lack of research. The entire high-performance environment is built around men - designed by men for men,' Nev Davies, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon shared.”

#WNBA officiating could be better. But Sally Jenkins missed an opportunity to further platform the gender bias in sports med. This isn’t even a WNBA issue solely.

“in women's football, players have been 4 to 6 times more likely than men to suffer from a tear”

Yo this shadow period and retrograde has been whooping my ass worse than it’s been whacking Lady Minaj. Chile is there a shield or something I can manifest?? Lmaoo.

New tea flavor came in the mail today!!! #TeaTime 🫖☕️💆🏾‍♂️

A jury has found Sean “Diddy” Combs guilty only of transportation for prostitution, the less serious charge.
