So thrilled with how these came out. It was tough to pick favorites. I'm not walking next week, but y'all celebrate with me! Got my master's in communications with a 4.0 from @syracuseu.bsky.social.

Red Dead Redemption 2 had Klansmen. I think it's just a copout.

#JournoRequest: The state of Black women's unemployment is really concerning. It's a bad sign for high unemployment among all groups. I'd love to chat with Black women in Alabama who have been unemployed for more than six months. July story from @19thnews.org - 19thnews.org/2025/07/blac...

Black women’s unemployment is rising. Economists say it’s a warning sign.

New data released Thursday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics marked the third straight month of high unemployment rates for Black women.

I believe things have reached a crisis point when a 74-year-old politician drops the F-bomb and proceeds to a white board.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

That fact is not fun as a fan of all these teams, but a very interesting one. LOL

Can we stop complaining about one bad call/no-call? Clearly, it didn't deter the Jags. #NFL

Willi Morris @williesha.bsky.social · 1d

I'm a KC fan, but good gravy! What a game! Another comeback win. Games like this reminds me why I love the #NFL.

I think overall, he's still valuable. It's unfortunate as a KC fan.

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

I've seen libraries go to some lengths to advertise, but never putting an employee in harm's way. ;-)

I watched the Eagles AND the Bills lose!? #NFL

Willi Morris @williesha.bsky.social · 2d

Still recovering from shots. Of all the games I could have watched today, I watched the Eagles lose.

Willi Morris @williesha.bsky.social · 2d

Yeeeesh the penalties...clean it up, Bills! #NFL

HUUUUGE fan of the Bills all-white uniform with the silver logo.

Dear Fox,
I happen to like watching the Lions kick the shit out of the Bengals. Switching me over to a game where I have to listen to Tom Brady is a Geneva Convention violation.

I don't care if the Lions are ahead. I want to see the whole game. Lame Fox. #NFL
