@DAZNBoxing Bud Crawford was amazing tonight. But also, I love that this poster had to specify "male boxer" because Amanda Serrano holds nine world titles across seven weight divisions

WHAT A FIGHT, CRAWFORD! #CaneloCrawford

@IshDtax @Taxsavvyjessica @ajthecpa1226 @CollectiveFin Sadly, I fell for this. And now I'm waiting months to get a completed business tax return, and it's holding up my personal tax return.

It really seems like ALL of their LLC/S-corp/payroll/etc is to justify the monthly fees. And what in the holy FICA: "Members save an average of $10,000* a year on their *business taxes." * Based on the average 2022 tax savings of active Collective users with an S Corp tax election for the 2022 tax year

Is there some secret S Corp election lobby out there that #taxtwitter isn’t aware of? @CollectiveFin sure seems to be a member of it. Especially when they’re pushing incorrect information out there like this. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I hate doing this. I only @ companies in public when I have genuinely tried (and failed) to get help thru the usual customer service channels. So, @CollectiveFin—it's been months that I've been trying to get a response on finishing my business tax return. How can we resolve this?

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.

Dems — time to hit reset + regroup.

Don't let what you see on social media skew your view of humanity. Most bad behavior is due to a few bad apples: • Just 3% of active users are toxic, but they generate 33% of online content • 1% of communities launch 74% of conflict • 0.1% of users spread 80% of fake news @jayvanbavel podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ret…

Worth mentioning how much old school martial artists decry the devolution of martial arts into competitive sports. Also, making friends is sometimes a first, necessary step to becoming a better person who's meeting her full potential. I'm just happy people are exercising.

Interesting though IMO superficial take. Reminds me of a post from Mark Andreesen about the value of doing martial arts being self defense. 🫤 Both views miss the possibility of physical pursuits as disciplines to develop oneself in character and spirit.

@sophiaamoruso "be nice and stay in your lane, or else" definitely rings true

It happened to me first — headlines portraying me as a “toxic leader” when I had to make the same, often unpopular, decisions that my male peers did without critique. For them, it’s called Founder Mode, and it’s celebrated (a proper noun! With its own merch! And trademarks being filed as I write this!). For women, it’s called “toxic”. After my “fall” in 2016, I watched an incredible cohort of female founders come up behind me. I thought there was something fundamentally wrong with me and that they had it all figured out. They were my friends, but it was hard to watch them win. I secretly muted their Instagram accounts. Why was I the only piece of shit female founder? What did they possess that I didn’t? Was it my upbringing? Maybe the media was right. These women took big swings, raised huge rounds, and were held up as examples for countless other women who for the first time saw that their aspirations might actually be within reach. And then, one by one, they were canceled. Our responsibility wasn’t just to pave the way for women, but to do it perfectly — and when we weren’t examples of whatever warped mutation the word Girlboss (which is now immortalized in the Merriam-Webster dictionary) had come to symbolize, we were “toxic.” No one expects men to build a utopian workplace that cures institutional biases, but we were expected to do just that. This is all too complex for an X post, and I’m not making excuses for anyone. Today, posts like this are out of character for me because, like them (as the non self-appointed consigliere for scorned Girlbosses, I know), we’ve all been told to keep gender out of the conversation. The media’s glee surrounding the “fall of the Girlboss” has committed, at scale, more harm than any pretty, young, white (let’s call it what it is), often unrelateable female founder could ever do. The phenomenon reminded a generation of women what we’d been told for eons: be nice and stay in your lane, or else.

“Martial arts can enliven zazen so that, hopefully, if you’re doing serious #Zen training, you can achieve the same #wisdom that comes with age much younger in life.” @cmoon in a conversation with @JShaheen tricycle.org/magazine/crist…

@dayoadeosun10 @TheHazeFoley Wish I could remember the professor's name. Sandra... something.

@cmoon @TheHazeFoley Favorite class by far

Love me some Foucault. Still love to flex that he trained in Zen with Omori Sogen, the founder if my temple 🙏🏼💪🏼

@dayoadeosun10 @TheHazeFoley Media Studies was the best class!

@TheHazeFoley Learned this in media studies at uchicago in my first year Typical Berkeley student stuff tbh

“Over the weeks, months, and then years of training in Kendo, it would become deeply ingrained in me to face conflict and challenges this way: head on and belly button forward.” — @Cmoon #DailyDharma buff.ly/3TLiq8z

Sums up my experience writing my memoir in a way I haven't been able to express.

"A memoir is not merely the record of a transformation, but the device for one, and the blank page symbolizes its great hope and wager." Perfect. 🙏🏼 @parul_sehgal
