No spoilers because we DVR'd the game but
picture from Slam Magazine of Napheesa Collier putting an imaginary crown (ala Queen Phee) on her head. She's sitting on a crate (?), her legs are crossed with her right foot on a basketball that's sitting on the floor

Our freezer is a bit too full so in an attempt to whittle it down I'm in week two of "what can I make from what's in the freezer? what can I make from what's in the freezer...for lunch [for the week]?" (there's a song)

Only one was "Do You Read Me?" a "virtual play" which was a essentially a movie that, during the pandemic, students and our play director recorded in parts over zoom and then she (the director) edited together. So much work for her but it came out great and was a great chance to be together outdoors

Political winds do not only flow from voters to politicians, they go in reverse as well. Democrats running ads like these signal to the general public and their voter base that this issue now has support by both parties, and that hating trans people is publicly acceptable. They do harm to us.

Going to Vassar as a first gen college student when neither my parents had a HS degree was a heck of a culture shock. Then again at grad school. That said, no one really questioned whether I belonged (to my face) because I didn’t look different from them. Other’s experiences differed.

It's all over tech-adjacent Twitter. "Kids can learn 2x ... 5x ... 10x! ... faster than in regular schools." My question, always, is "... learn WHAT?"
Several tweets indicating that students are learning 2x, 5x, or 10x faster than regular school.
