I should probably send out “Don’t take it personal if I don’t talk to you” messages. I can see right now what this week is going to be for me. And I don’t feel like dealing with or explaining the shit to nobody else.

Quite literally no competitive (field/arena/court) sport is safe and you should probably really research them to know the real risks.

Baseball Players show higher incidences of strokes later in life, but this is often under-reported because they are usually not on active rosters.

Also? We talk about this football, but nobody ever mentions rugby or lacrosse???????

They were researching links between bodies having “whiplash-like” impacts and CTE, but they been keeping a lid on that.

The reason? A lot more athletes actually report higher rates of cognitive-related injuries (including more frequent headaches and migraines).

Also? I know a LOT of people are anti-football and boxing due to very valid concerns for CTE, but be careful letting your children do any sport that requires speed and increases the potential that their body will suddenly change direction.

meanwhile, i'm surprised they actually paid for the right to the title and character names.

could've had folks dressing up in 'Bootlegger Vampire Man', or 'Mulatto Flapper Girl' garb

Yeah. A lot of cheerleaders are hypermobile. It’s why you see very specific injuries to that group. It’s only later that you may find out you fit the criteria AND that’s only if you know someone with EDS or have a Dr who thinks it’s real. 🫠

LMAOOOOOOOO. Fuck Wells Fargo man. I went to place an order for groceries. My account is in the negative because multiple charges are on the ledger multiple times. And that is exactly why I only put enough in the account to keep the bitch open when they tell me my other accounts aren’t “real.”

Same reason we use speciality medications that Drs prescribe. Those sales reps were just more successful at their pitch. 🫠

A lot of the flexibility we see Cheerleaders do with their bodies are actually part of the diagnostic criteria for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. WE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STRETCHY LIKE THAT!?

Having run track and been in competitive cheerleading as a youth? I’m anti-sports as a whole for children until better healthcare becomes an actual reality.

Sara Partridge, Ph.D. @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 1d

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I feel like I coulda also sent my SOS message to @tinarose0103.bsky.social, but she may have laughed at me before being able to calm me down. I really said, “I got enough going on! I don’t need this too!!” 😂

Oh. Lol.

Friend just reminded me that algorithm is designed to piss you off now.

TELL ME SOMETHING THEN, @blackladyblue.bsky.social! Because oooh weee it was about to be bad! 😂😂😂

It’s Courtney. @hersoulwrites.bsky.social · 1d

I’m having a damned existential crisis today. My algorithm went from showing me videos of Black Cowboys & Niggas Doing Nigga Shit like I like it to showing me videos of Black Women who obviously have white partners or date Black Men who look like they get they hair cut at Supercuts with a hot spoon!

Finna send @ceencrumpets.bsky.social, @shamtheecreator.bsky.social, and @blackladyblue.bsky.social borderline unhinged messages explaining why I’m about to spiral on this nice Saturday. Hope they laugh. 😂

It’s Courtney. @hersoulwrites.bsky.social · 1d

And now I’m going to stretch and go back to sleep.

BECAUSE WHY DID MY BRAIN BETRAY ME LIKE THAT?!?!

It’s Courtney. @hersoulwrites.bsky.social · 1d

Y’all know what my brain just thought of?

How a whole lotta people gonna need to be watched for self harm when the AI bubble finally pops because a whole lotta of company 401(k)s are tied up in those investment portfolios indirectly.

A Black Mom who lost her job a few months ago is having a hard time making rent these past few months. She does on-demand delivery to get by but had to spend on car repairs, and this month she won’t make it. If we each give $1 she’ll reach her goal. We’ve helped 158 people so far, let’s keep going.

My name is Brittany and im a single mother of a 3yr old baby girl, I lost my job back in June and started doing amazon flex to make ends meet and make last months rent but this month just seems to be more difficult.

I drive a 2002 PT cruiser and (which is on its last leg but still getting us from A to B!) But I had to replace my tie rods and that blew a chunk out of my earnings! My rent is 1250.00 but im sure I can make a portion of it before the first.

Any and all donations and prayers are greatly appreciated and thank you to everyone in advance!
