i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.
daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.
Draymond Green says A'ja Wilson needs to be viewed as the most marketable player in the WNBA and has the potential to be the greatest player of all time
“The best thing since sliced bread in the WNBA is A'ja Wilson. I'm not necessarily in the mindset that it's all Caitlin Clark, no, A'ja Wilson is great. A'ja Wilson to me is the American dream. Coming from a two-parent household, grew, got better, young Black girl, had everything against her, beat the odds to become what soon will be known as the greatest player to ever grace the WNBA. That's quite honestly my opinion. I think A'ja Wilson is as marketable as anybody in the WNBA, but you have to figure out how to market the product.”

Well let’s talk about it, music execs.
You spent the better part of the last decade fighting against streaming and signing artists to terrible 360 deals.
Not much of that time was spent learning how to adjust to the new era
Instead, you have a building full of people who have no desire to actually work to build artists. And those that DO wanna do their jobs, can’t because you’re too busy worrying about signing algorithms and followers.
You quite literally can’t hear a hit, so you look at the numbers under the YouTube video to determine what you want to invest in
Many of you got rid of people who actually love music. And traded them in for soulless
Analytics managers who couldn’t clap on beat if you moved their hands for them.
There are so many good artists putting music out, and one of you know who they are bc they aren’t busy tryna catch a viral wave that’ll pass in 3 months
After you’re done pissing all your money away on marginally talented tik tokers, you tell the dope ones that you don’t see the point in investing capital in the work that they do. And your tik tok famous artist just went triple plastic.
In conclusion, a lot of you guys just aren’t good at what you do.
America is traumatized by the Oscar slap but needs to watch video of a Black person being shot in the back of the head by police to form an opinion. See how that works??
i don’t understand why white ppl would want to use AAVE when they have terms like “watch it buster” or “oh for pete’s sake”, or my personal favorite “why i oughta”, these are so fun to hear
Just spoke w/ Poland 🇵🇱 Ambassador who assures me that all efforts are being made to ensure Nigerians & ALL Africans are given safe passage at border as a result of Ukraine war. I will be posting details of who to contact for those stuck in Ukraine & also sharing w/ @OgbeniDipo
A theory? I think lot of anger and resistance towards teaching America’s history of racism is that a lot of people in these pictures are alive today, some probably in positions of power. Easier to pretend this was long ago until your grandkids see you in their history books.
