@stephanie_rita @GivingYet My understanding is that this was filmed before the other seasons (back in 2022), so there would’ve been more restrictions on which countries they could go to at the time.

[Ruth Lok Neighbors @RuthNeighbors]

@linzsports Agreed. I took my parents to the playoffs (semis and finals) and those games were so exciting. It was the year of both the Mystics and the Nationals winning it all. If I remember correctly, some of the players immediately had to report overseas to play.

[Ruth Lok Neighbors @RuthNeighbors]

@linzsports Yes indeed.

Important alert: Flash flood warning for Manhattan, Bronx, and Queens in effect until 11:15pm.

@nycemergencymgt is advising:
** If you are in a basement apartment, move now to a higher floor. **

@moorehn Also, my only rule is making sure I have a variety of colors in my plate of delicious things to eat. Your photos are lovely.

[Ruth Lok Neighbors @RuthNeighbors]

@moorehn It never occurred to me to call it a girl dinner. But it is a great way to eat, pleasing to the eye, and feels like a special treat to make a nice spread for myself.

@clintonyates Wait, they have it at the ballpark?! Incredible. What did you get? (I used to go the original one back in Taipei back in the 90s as it was near where my parents lived for a few years).

@NatSymphonyDC coming to the Star Wars music concert tonight. Any idea if we can bring our light saber props to the show?

@Quincetessence Wait what?!

Today we celebrate #Juneteenth

The oldest holiday commemorating the emancipation of slaves in the United States

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Juneteenth as a federal holiday is meant to breathe new life into the essence of America — to ensure everyone feels the power of the progress we can make.

It marks the long, hard night of slavery – but the promise of that brighter morning to come.

Happy Juneteenth, America.

🎉 Let the #10YearsofAwesome celebration BEGIN! #AC23

In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions.

A sale of 600 people would mark a grim new record — by far.”

During the wildfire smoke peak in NYC, 70% of asthma-related ER visits were in ZIP codes with predominantly Black & Brown residents. 60% were in areas with higher poverty rates than the city overall.

Climate change is one of the most important health equity issues of our time.

@MarkBrooksArt @amandadeibert I third this. Then walk on the overpass from the Museum to the National Wharf to get something to eat and maybe take a boat ride.

@moorehn I wouldn’t. I don’t think you’d be prepared for the amount of times you need to respond to “Roll Tide”. But there was a very funny espn commercial about this. https://t.co/apitCzTcNN

@lingerie_addict Thanks for the tip! I will definitely check it out when I go next time.
