Combined with poverty, menstruation can become a burden on Black menstruators in both physical and mental ways.

You would have never guessed who was being interviewed here.

[Stallion Stats @MegansStats]

Megan Thee Stallion speaks on her past relationship with Klay Thompson:

— “How do I want to say this gently? What’s meant for you is always going to work out. And if something is constantly making you feel uncomfortable, just on edge all the time, you probably are not supposed to be there. God will always make you uncomfortable when something is not meant for you. I think I just kept trying to make pieces fit that didn’t belong, trying to fit myself into someone else’s life. I was losing myself a little bit. I am now in the space of finding me again.”

Without students completing "college prep courses," every high school in Supt. Miles’ reform model would have dropped by at least one letter grade in 2025.

HISD would have had five D-rated and two F-rated schools. w/@carolineghisolf + @partain_claire

@ilovethizzhit I agree and as a former ra im aware that it has been a quiet rule for a while. Not sure how they’ll go about enforcing but it’s been a convo ahead of the new school year.

[Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron]

Members of Congress, local officials and community advocates gathered at Harris County Commissioners Court for the "Seeking Justice: Oversight of ICE's Use of Force in the Death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo" forum. Speakers called for greater transparency and accountability as they discussed the circumstances surrounding Salgado's death. 🔗https://t.co/EhqZmgZVV3

[Rep. Sylvia Garcia @RepSylviaGarcia]

We can now confirm that the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado’s van was not a narcotic or any other illicit substance. As his family has said all along, this was an electrolyte powder to stay hydrated working outside in the hot Texas summer.

The attempt to cast a shadow over Lorenzo Salgado’s name has failed.
