@Apetey222 I am depressed.

The entire state of Utah should be rooting for UVU to win the WAC tonight and make the NCAA Tournament for the first time ever

@AdamDroge @91PRETTYRICKY @yuhwoojazz @WACsports They were basically kicked out of the WAC. That's why.

@91PRETTYRICKY @yuhwoojazz @WACsports I'm pretty sure Southern Utah and Utah Tech are in the exact same boat, but aren't being targeted by the WAC.

A statement from the WAC Board of Directors

Gettin’ jiggy wit being #1!!!! #GoUVU | #ValleyForged

@RyanRutherchevy For the Finals, that's insane. Keep in mind that the comparable examples we have up to this point are Detroit-San Antonio and Milwaukee-Phoenix.

People from the middle of the US are insane. They think everything is driving distance.

@weiss_hadas you're not gonna believe this

what are some fun things to do in cape town? for reference, i like to be on my phone at home

@Chase_Swartz3 IDK. If they have one job, may as well do it thoroughly.

“Must now watch all nominated films” My goodness, what a joke

A recent study found that "mild" stress is enough to trigger PTSD in autistic individuals. Think about that. MILD stress triggering PTSD in autistic individuals. And not enough people are talking about it. This is a SIGNIFICANT finding, if you ask me. So let's talk about it...

@NC_Renic Let's trade.

I miss grading student essays that tapped into pure human potential to produce something completely unreadable

@BYUFanTre Oh, so that's what everyone's on about.

@Storytimedad83 If you've got a unique approach, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Given all the tithing discourse I've seen recently, I had the thought to share the way I calculate tithing (because I stressed over it for a long time). But I'm hesitating because I dont want to get into nonsense with people. Is it possible to post without people being nuts?

@YourFriendKwaku Joke's on you. I'm not having grandkids.

@meekaale Alright, name five things you've done this week.

guy who has 17 profound insights every day but never seems to actually do anything whatsoever

@Rach_the_Rivetr All for it. My great-grandfather's very candid journal was posted to Family Search, and I found it so interesting. Then someone took it down. Now, I have no way of accessing it. And that seems a shame to me.

What do you guys think about posting important historical documents about your family that don't show the happiest of times on Family Search but they are important to the family story.

@MatRyanELATeach @TeachLearnGrow2 That is many. I express jealousy toward the lit teachers, but after three semesters teaching Frankenstein, I was starting to realize it was probably not going to be sustainable much longer.

@TeachLearnGrow2 No doubt. I appreciate its place in the canon of American literature. But after twenty times teaching it, I'm so done!

Since I haven't said this in some time, allow me to get this off my chest: I never want to read "The Great Gatsby" again and yet I will have to read it again, many more times!

@TonesOfMusic Melon Collie. Love AIC, but that isn't my favorite album.

Turning 30 this year. Pick one?

Today marks 31 years since Kurt Cobain's passing, a singular talent whose songwriting and performances left an indelible mark on the landscape of rock music.

@memeticsisyphus Speaking of current events...

@numbertalker @cremieuxrecueil Well said.

in person? no. online? well .... i question anyone whose sole alleged symptoms of autism are dislike of unlikable experiences, poor social skills, and unwillingness to work. but i've come to admit that autism is such a broad spectrum that someone who doesnt fit the classic picture at all can still have a legitimate autism diagnosis. which means that when i see someone saying "i can't enjoy this because i have autism" etc they might actually be right. still, i claim the right to be skeptical

Happy Autism Awareness Day! I think too many people are 'aware' of autism. Have you ever met someone who claims to be autistic, but they've never been diagnosed? Self-reported autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is practically uncorrelated with real, clinician-diagnosed autism🧵
