One group doesn’t want injustice to impact anyone. The other group doesn’t want injustice to impact anyone they know.

I’m with the group that fights for everyone.

I urge everyone reading this to keep your spirits high and to make up your Goddamn mind to be a steel-spined, unrelenting, ultra-resilient, super-charged, motherfucker on wheels.

Toss every thought of, "I can't," out on its ass with such a fierceness that those thoughts wither and die on the vine.

As teachers, we receive training for when armed intruders enter our buildings. Now we are getting information on what to do when government agents attempt to question/detain our students. I hate it here.

If we are going to dismantle amendments based on β€œhistorical context”, let’s have a go at the amendment that was written for muskets.

So many of us learned a great mnemonic to remember the causes of WWI:
M- militarism
A- alliances
I-imperialism
N-nationalism

Everyone can see this, right?

That Cavs OKC game lived up to the hype!

I can’t be the only person who thinks of the Cavs when she watches this scene. β€œPass. Shoot. Score”

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution:

Stand with the readers, not the book banners.

Choose knowledge, stories, and freedom of thought.

I could use a little pick-me-up. I would love to hear stories of times when someone did something really nice for you.

Read this a few times and let it sink in.

They disrupt so many plays. It doesn’t show up in the stats, but it makes a huge difference. Plusβ€” a lot of blocks happen bc defense broke down somewhere.

I’d love to hear from the folks who wanted the Cavs to burn it all down and start over.

If you are sick, it’s okay to skip a family gathering. Definitely don’t prepare food for a gathering if you are sick. Even when it’s β€œmild” or β€œjust a cold” think about the people with compromised immune systems or even those who don’t have paid sick leave.

It’s official-my fantasy football team prevailed in the championship. After finishing second to my younger son two years in a row, George Kittle sealed the victory for this mom. Even sweeter is the grand prizeβ€” older son (finished scum dead last) has to caddy 9 holes for me.

It’s a bit of a gut-punch to realize how grossly unappreciated Jimmy Carter was. Can you think of anyone more deserving of praise?

30.12.2024 07:54 πŸ‘ 15 πŸ” 2 πŸ’¬ 3 πŸ“Œ 0

We did not appreciate Jimmy Carter in his time as president

Same for Joe Biden now

Yet

History will show that these 2 good, humble, and moral men were great presidents who governed for us and the good of America

I feel like we need to talk more about Reagan removing the solar panels from the White House.

Nothing can adequately prepare you for how heavily things weigh on your heart as a mom. A burden like no other.

I keep thinking about that metric that was all over social media the other day showing how NBA shot selection has changed (mid range seems to have been abandoned). Maybe we are just cutting edge?

LeVert has been so impressive. My FB memory from the other day was from when we drafted Okoro. I was disappointed that we didn’t get Obi Toppin (I’m a UD alum). I also commented that Okoro didn’t look very happy to be coming here. So glad I was wrong on Borge accounts
