I can NEVER get with activists/influencers who do nothing but finger-point.
Nothing gets empowered or uplifted if all you do is rile people up over external forces.
Spurs players REFUSE to put their hands over their hearts for the national anthem!
They are making millions of dollars to play a child’s game and still feel oppressed somehow…
Only 2 players covered their hearts. Take note of which ones!
But I'll bet you have wished gov't stopped making your life worse. Personalizing actual societal problems doesn't solve them. It only let's the other side shape the rules while you pretend to be above it all
@QuincyAvery A few things are true
1. No doubt coaches hold a bad double standard on this topic and shouldn't be the voices of it
2. No doubt some restructuring to NIL and the transfer portal is needed
3. It is entirely dishonest to still call it unpaid labor
@allie__voss A guy who has no intention of being serious can take a woman on an expensive date to show his money off, sleep with her and then never see her again
So either way, it’s not really an efficient strategy to “see if he’s serious”
@allie__voss It is off-putting. Also, if I choose a restaurant and you try to change it to a pricier one, yeah I'm gonna assume it's for the wrong reasons.
If I'm serious, I'll keep asking you out, likely more frequently and with some (not always) fancier/"funner" dates.
There’s a weird amount of advice online telling women to push for more expensive dates “to see if he’s serious”
Ironically, it scares off any sensible guy because it’s insane behavior and you look like an escort
🧵New Orleans just proved failing schools can be fixed at scale.
It became America’s first all-charter school district.
The results are staggering:
• 99th percentile nationally in reading growth
• 98th percentile in math growth
• The only state in America beating pre-pandemic levels in both subjects
This is what real reform looks like. THREAD 🧵
The inspection sticker is now EXPIRED in Louisiana!
I was proud to finally sign Representative Bagley’s bill to get rid of this costly and burdensome sticker.
California is considering a one-time 5% tax on the wealth of billionaires.
Advocates say the tax would preserve a healthcare sector that has seen huge cuts in federal funding, but opponents say it would financially devastate the state.

I know of at least a couple BA women whom that was their experience (very sheltered and/or forbidden from dating in HS). Other than that idk, I can see how there wasn't much guidance.
With me, I just had zero dating awareness in HS and college and I regret that to this day tbh
@dickweedjackson@AdonisTheBlack You had people saying that black parents shielded their daughters growing up which is they have problems. I can see that being widespread amongst immigrant families, but that’s definitely not a black american convo lmao
They shooting the messenger, but she ain’t wrong. Dating and sex were heavily demonized in a lot of our homes. We were told to stay away from boys and focus on school. The problem is that relationships are a skill set too and many Black women were prepared for careers but left to figure out dating, boundaries, and healthy partnership on our own.
