that was a pleasant surprise for the rockets first preseason. now if. only they acted like this during the regular season.

Buster Baxter leaving Arthur’s house:

if you haven’t gotten you’re flu vaccine already, i don’t know what to tell you. there’s so many viruses going around already.

Hey loves, a young lady is in need of some assistance. If you’re in/near Katy, TX and have some baby items you can donate, please DM me so I can link you with her. Pls donate if you can and share 💜

I'm learning that the older I get, the more IDGAF. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

The thing that keeps me going… I won’t always be here. She deserves to be a whole human. She can handle all emotions and situations, and if she can’t, it’s my job to help her figure out what she needs

Because it’s hard to acknowledge this without discussing the nuances of permissive vs authoritative parenting and the whole conversation goes way left. Also we then have to get everyone to agree that kids are allowed to feel emotions other than joy and gratitude and still be loved and cared for.

Why don’t y’all ever talk about how hard it is to be a conscious parent teaching a lesson and support your child through consequences as opposed to making them smile and rescuing or fixing. That shit is hard and y’all never talk about it

You know what, next year if I have the funds I'm doing that for a month. A treatment every week. Including a hair spa. Yes.

I almost forgot that it's my birthday month. My only desire for that day is a Swedish massage, Korean spa treatment, moroccan hammam, and to find a hygienic place that I feel comfortable trusting to do a mani/pedi.

ha ha. who knew 30+ skincare was simply really expensive tiny jars of eye cream, sun-sensitive routines for retinol, and dermaplaning your face every other week for the rest of your life.

this is the Worst Thing I Have Ever Read. not because I care about Claire's, but because they just laid out all the facts and yet still blamed "radical left agitators." this wouldn't have passed my 6th grade writing class; my MBA legal prof. would have kicked you out for such crass writing.

Missouri being in the SEC doesn’t sit right with me. It’s the South Eastern conference!

I was really disappointed in Oura (I know…). Getting that military contract and being straight up transparent that user data will be “used for research” was the final nail in the coffin for me. Theyre really the f*ds, now!

for those interested, this is where you pay us (Blacksky)

I hate FedEx. what do you mean you've had my package for five days and you don't know where it is but it's supposed to be at my door in an hour??

I recently interviewed with them but got bad vibes and decided not to go through with the next step of the process. Happy to know that my intuition (and following due diligence/company research) proved me correct.

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources." Oracle is about to own TikTok.

I love small interactions that give me hope in community and humanity. I try to give others that feeling as well.

all of these videos are horrifying. what feels so singularly striking and scary to me in all of them is the individual seething contempt and rage of these agents

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Increasingly, I feel as if these self-proclaimed coalition builders talking about "winning the middle" aren't talking about the people they hope to win over. Rather, they're talking about themselves, and defining what it will take to keep them in the tent. Not opposed to purity tests; issuing them.

Since y’all seemed to enjoy the last 9th grade vocab list, here are this week’s words: 1. nonpareil 2. vociferous 3. foible 4. mellifluous Are any of these new to you? If so, I challenge you to incorporate one or more into a conversation this week.

I found it!!!!! 🥳🥳

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I need a deep tissue massage, a swedish massage, an aromatherapy massage, la Korean spa day, and a moroccan hammam day.

(solemnly) You've had mail.

Researchers, professionals, and service providers should always be accountable to the populations they work with. This means that autism researchers, professionals, and service providers should ultimately be accountable to autistic people themselves

if you control the flow of information you control the ppl

This feels like an opening sentence to a book I want to read.

There are no longer "entry-level" jobs for people trying to enter an actual career, degree or not.

The announcement is in line with a Trump administration rule to “drastically” restrict non-U.S. citizens from getting trucking licenses. bit.ly/46ENPzX

In DC, almost every single person charged with assaulting a federal officer has had their case downgraded, moved to superior court, or thrown out altogether

From opening grocery stores to launching online delivery services, I traveled to rural Mississippi to highlight the work of two Black women who are reimagining how their communities eat and thrive. This is part of the RNN's "Sowing Resilience" series. capitalbnews.org/black-women-...

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15. I'm running for Governor to change that.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

monaleo did her big one with sexy soulaan. good for her.

i will run out of gas before stopping at exxon or shell for gas. those ads on the pump are so intrusively loud and disorienting. it feels like a setup.

open.spotify.com/track/7CDft4... Traumazine still gets played round here. Especially in the gym.

I love autumn. the colors are stunning. the air is refreshing. the drinks are warm. the atmosphere is amazing. the movies are scarier. walks are longer. ground is crunching. songs are soothing. clothes are comfier. pumpkins are carved. blankets are plentiful

my daughter really captured my essence in this portrait of me “at work”

unfortunately all restaurant food now severely sucks and i can’t find what i’m craving anywhere. gtfo with your impossible burgers. i want to taste my vegetables.

this is why we need to bring back shame there need to be consequences for being a huge asshole, there need to be standards for how you behave in a decent society the rules cannot be set by the worst of us

discovered an indie sleeze playlist and my goodness. i just remembered how it felt to be fourteen and free and full of ennui while going on long distance runs.
