Really bummed. At this point, I just really want her to have one good meet for the comeback era. She’s already in the history books, you can’t take that away from her! Rooting for her for the championships.
Just cancel the meet already 💔How did so much happen during the commercial break????
They need to check those bars because wtf
Watching the Peacock stream and I’m hearing all this cheering, but I can’t see what routine the audience is cheering for lol
Closest connection I can think of is the opening line of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier “Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderly again.”
Prostitute? How dare you! I was doing insider trading!
I’ve seen this on twitter and read both sides of the argument. The only thing I feel strongly about is that teachers shouldn’t be recording students and posting it to the internet. I know these days lots of schools/teachers make parents sign consent forms for pictures, but I think those should only be uploaded to (preferably private) Facebook and Instagram pages for the class and parents. Not as a sly way for the teacher to become an influencer. Now I’m not saying that teachers shouldn’t have a platform. But there’s a big difference between posting classroom management tips and telling funny stories vs posting your students to an audience that can easily get out of control.
Currently reading Human Acts by Han Kang. I know nothing about the Gwangju uprisings, so this has been a pretty interesting and informative read so far. I’m finally on summer break too, so I hope to get a lot of reading in till August.
Tyler has the coolest first day icebreaker of all time now lol. “… and a fun fact about me is that Beyonce sent me flowers once after a video of me went viral”
RHOA at its peak will never be topped. Easily the longest running stretch of fantastic seasons.
DC was known as “The Chocolate City”, but a lot of Black people have moved out to Montgomery County (18% Black) and Howard County (19% Black) and especially PG County (59% Black). But the show was originally casted around Charisse and a group of Jack and Jill moms, which is a Black organization. I’ve always thought that they just chose the name Potomac since most of those casted just happened to live there even though it’s barely 5% Black. I think that’s why they’re so loose with the new wives, I mean Wendy damn near lives in Pennsylvania.
Wait this is so interesting, thanks! Not to make you feel old, but I was born 2 days after this in Chicago. Cool to know my mom went through a tornado and childbirth all in 3 days lol.
Seconding Franz Fanon. I recently read “Batouala” by Rene Maran (Martiniquean author, likely set in the Central African Republic), “Les Bouts de bois Dieu” by Ousmane Sembene (I read the English translation, Senegalese author), and “Le Vieux Nègre et la Médaille” by Ferdinand Oyono (Cameroonian). I read these all for a paper for school related to French colonialism, and they were great for that.
1830’s is such a random decade. The closest justification I could find is that 1830 is the year Emily Dickinson was born, and there’s poetry connections throughout the album (not good ones, but they are present). Or she wanted to pick a more “obscure” decade to make herself seem different. Either way it’s strange, and the implications outweighs whatever message she was trying to get across. The whole album felt like a first draft, there’s so many lines that got me wondering if there’s anyone around her who aren’t yes-men. She needs to take a 3 year minimum break off music to re-group
About to finish Stoner by John Williams. Likely will start The Wall by Marlen Haushofer next since it’s sort of Earth Day themed
Swinging his big D all over his congregation in Atlanta, as we speak!
Entirety of The Son of Neptune, the part in Mark of Athena where Annabeth is on her own on her quest, meeting Hercules, all of House of Hades tbh, and I second the Mark of Athena cliffhanger! Plus I can’t wait for the moment Mike realizes that Percy does not have any POV chapters in Blood of Olympus lol
I guess it was by association for the first couple years, but the Hag Hive cutoff is 4, and I definitely was a fan by then. But this is just stan twitter being funny and talking to talk lol, there is no criteria!
What are DC fans, geriatric hive? 😭 I guess I’m Hag hive, but I’m only 20 💀 Crazy in Love was probably on the radio when my mom was on her way to the c section, I was born into this!
His teeth were found and identified by French scientists in 2018
Look at these comments, millennials are going out sad. If you are over 35, you should not be getting this worked up over the opinions of teenagers and 20 somethings! Nobody is “canceling” SATC, give me a break. A 23 year old who adores this show can’t even half-seriously bring up a moment that didn’t age well before the “old man yells at cloud” brigade starts with the “gen z is canceling x” nonsense. Everyone can use a social media break.
Good. I remember getting an automatic deduction in meets if my bra strap or underwear showed during a routine. I had an older teammate miss out on getting 1st in All Around at a pretty important meet because of the underwear deduction. I hope USAG follows suit.
Yeah. There is absolutely no way Songs in the Key of Life isn’t on the list period, much less not being near the top. Innervisions in the 40’s was already a bit eyebrow raising.
Apple Music has ranked Beyoncé’s self titled as the 36th greatest album of all time
