Yep, that sounds about right.

We know that important stories are underreported.

Expecting others to post about things that would be of interest to me (versus reading the news and monitoring platforms for updates and then actively sharing news via posts myself) borders on learned helplessness.

So true. I often wonder, "quietly" to whom? Not to the people impacted.

Yes. Exactly.

YouTube video by Tracee Ellis Ross This looks easy but 10 minutes of it is no joke! ​⁠long & strong summer arms! @TracyAndersonStudio

First of all, a perfect arm routine.

Second, love how the people working out and minding their business become unwitting backup danced.

Third, "Temperature" remains a jam. 🌡🎶

And I loved how she doesn't play about her kids.

Most moms, regardless of their children's accomplishments, do not. 😂👑

Yes, my exact reaction.

Insurance companies, and reinsurers who cover major losses, continue to invest in fossil fuel companies.

And I remember, before Katrina, hearing the VP of underwriting at a major insurer say he didn't believe in climate change.

Many know it's real, but still insuring development in coastal areas.

And this panic started after Katrina and continued after Sandy, the wildfires, the earthquakes, etc.

Insurers and reinsurers started leaving certain areas or making policies prohibitively expensive with less coverage over 15 yrs ago…

while still investing in and financing fossil fuel projects.

Je pense que sa femme, qui est également un medecine, elle paie un partie des dépenses du ménage.

€€€€

La famille vit au cœur de Versailles dans une maison avec de lourdes mensualités : 3 700€ par mois, rien que pour la part de Marc. Il emploie une nourrice (700€) et une femme de ménage (400€).

Sa femme est également médecin. Combien dépensent-ils au total?

This is so cool! And the original quoted post says the final show on 9/14 will be broadcast for free for those of us who can’t make it, will keep an eye out for that.

When I do my races, there's always an electrolyte drink at the finish line. I bypass it and steal 17 bananas instead.

When I was 16 I smoked real actual
cigarettes on an international flight. It was unthinkable then, but now, thanks to actual political will, you can hardly smoke in public spaces (and I am glad to say I quit when I was 23). LLM chatbots are a menace and can be banned.

Darfur genocide - Wikipedia

I saw "already the largest genocide of the 21st century" applied to Gaza and it made me flinch because while Israel might well achieve comparable numbers, Darfur still remains the largest and it's important we don't erase vast horrors for rhetorical emphasis.

mstinaknowles This is bittersweet! The reenactment of her speech and twirl. Yes her career has come full circle from that moment, when she won her first "Peoples Workshop award" to her doing it on her sold out concert tour in Houston. She thanked her parents and Houston! As a Kid with big dreams, She made a commitment to work hard! Polish her craft,, take vocal lessons, dance lessons, sacrifice, focus, train, and mind her own damn business and does not mess with anybody. She sticks close to her family. She never gossiped or put anybody else down, to make herself feel better. She never wasted her time on being jealous, she was taught very early on that her time and energy could be better used to focus on herself, to practice and perfect her craft. So she complimented others. and remained humble. She was inspired and respectful and paid homage to those great artists that came before her. She gave back to her community. She has never used someone else's name to get publicity or attention for herself. No one lives rent free in her head because she is obsessed with them or jealous of them., She has also NEVER constantly, criticized others looks, talent, and character. Has never lied on, or started false rumors about others, has never started one sided beefs with anyone, to get her name on mainstream media outlets or be relevant or in the current news. She chose to rely on her talent and hard work and her own name. But if she has helped you stay relevant or to get your name in the press. I'm very happy she could help you. You're welcome! God bless You 🙏🏽 Ps. if you haven't done any of these things, then this does not apply to you. But if the shoe fits, I'm sure we will be hearing from you. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4 1, 3,2,1 9 hours ago

Y’all Ms. Tina done dragged somebody and I think it’s the pink lady…

She said stop playing on Beyoncé.

I know that’s right.

Ooh, Ms. Tina had time.

I know plain water might not be enough to hydrate sometimes.
I drink a lot of iced green tea and sometimes I add fresh ginger or lemon to my water, too.

And electrolytes or not, I just love people drinking more water period. If people like it, why not. 😂

Benito doing good things in PR. I’m gonna watch this and cry like a baby, aren’t I?

Writing in another language isn’t hard because you “don’t know enough grammar.”

It’s hard because you are not practicing with the grammar you already know.
