@UrbanaHS_OH was recognized for earning the Momentum Award for results on the 2024-25 Ohio School Report Card. This is given to schools that improved their Performance Index by 3 or more points from the previous year, while also achieving a Value-Added rating of 4 or more stars.
There are public school teachers paying out of their own pockets for their students school supplies and kids going to school hungry among the entire laundry list of issues facing this country.
But someone cleared Kristi Noem to spend $200 million tax payer dollars on her vanity DHS ad?
This is the shit that starts revolutions. I can't even express how disgusting I find this level of misuse of government spending. What is the point of any of this if Kristi Noem wants to cosplay as an influencer at the cost of $200 million dollars from hardworking Americans?!

I know this will be a firestorm topic
WNBA players currently receive just 9.3% of the leagues revenue(this includes ticket sales, merch, TV deals) for reference their male counterparts in the NBA is 50.0%.
This resulted in their salary cap being set at just 1.507 million for this year(less than half of Joe Ingles 3.634M)
In theory if they received even 40% of the leagues revenue that salary cap would be at 6.481 M.
That increase would mean roster expansion could occur, players could theoretically still make 3x their current salary and owners would still bring in 60% of the revenue.
Now to put that into perspective, that still means an entire WNBA roster would be paid less than Rob Dillingham will make in 2025-26(6.576M)
——————————
Now yes, the WNBA did lose 40 million dollars in 2024, but this is in large part due to the TV deal they are currently signed to, which in 2026 goes from roughly 45 Million annually to 200 Million annually.
This will result in essence result in the league making money over night from losing 40 to a net gain of 115M just on the TV deal alone. Even if the game and tickets sales were to stop growing, and merch stopped selling, it would still be in the green.
The current CBA would amount to players going from 1.507M in salary cap to just 4.0 M… a substantial raise however it would cost the league just 2.5 M out of that 115M TV deal profits.
If the players got 40%, that’s just 17.204M as a salary cap… a 11x raise over their current salaries, and still in the grand scheme of things less than 1 Jaden McDaniels(24.393M)
———————
The league is built on players whether you’re a CC, Aja, or Phee fan they deserve to get a bigger slice of the pie for the work they all have put in, and as the revenue grows, they should as well.
The WNBA players are not asking to be paid dollar for dollar what the NBA players make, from what I understand they just want a fair share of the revenue.
Now let’s enjoy some hoops.
I found that the more I greeted students in the hallway, the more they made eye contact with me… and the more they initiated a greeting with me the next day.
It’s usually not that hard to make connections with kids… but the adults need to be willing to take the first step.
Between the 2008–09 and 2018–19 academic years, the number of students completing traditional teacher education programs in the U.S. dropped by more than one-third!
Why? Because the workload teachers face is no longer matched by the pay, respect, or value they deserve.
School leaders want teachers to be sensitive to the home life of their students. Well... they need to be sensitive to the home life of their teachers. They deal with divorce, depression, family illness, and other stresses that have a profound impact. Teachers need compassion too.

One of the things that I have struggled with is moving away from what is working. It is not because I am not seeing results but because I am bored with the process.
It is okay to try new things, but also, don’t forget what has brought you success in the past.
Doubling down on that process could actually be the thing you need most.
3 More Things I Learned This Week”
1."Great things never came from comfort zones." – Neil Strauss This is a reminder that I needed to try and explore things that I wouldn’t typically do. It is hard to make new friends when you are older, but not impossible.
https://t.co/TixRKbvZ4X seems obvious, but the best way to deal with uncertainty is to make a decision and move forward. Whatever feels right is often the choice to be made. You just have to make it.
3.Don’t limit your life by the lowered expectations from someone else. Shine your light on the world, and it will often encourage others who want to be encouraged.
