@Baesicc_21 @SouthDallasFood I swear some women are obsessed with being married more than common sense. Have never understood that mania about matrimony-
that obsession needs to be studied

@SouthDallasFood I watched this and I was flabbergasted at how that lady threw away her career and just went downhill. She should have left that man once he told her what he did.

@michaelmovie Everytime I think I'm done looking at Jaafar Jackson & the Michael movie behind the scenes clips...

"When you saw Michael Jackson perform on stage, it gave you a feeling. And they get that same feeling with Jaafar."

@bigdogpistons1 @Nibiru1000 He definitely means back in the 70s it was a flop
I remember as a kid people were talking about it and everybody was pissed that because they knew she’s strong armed to get the role
It would be interesting to interview Stephanie Mills on this
Now it is a Cult Classic

@Nibiru1000 The wiz flopped??? Man please we all was seeing that. It’s a classic. You hating

@nhoodpublicist Not enough people are talking about this guy and his whole obsession to take down Black people I think every black Republican or whoever that thinks they could lean into theories need to know this because I don’t think they have a clue
And if they do, that’s really disconcerting

@Geto_24 @s0urpatchkiid @druski I don’t know if we need to buy into that ethos of better trained. I think we need to find a way to to work together, so none of us are left out of opportunities
English

@s0urpatchkiid @LBeatha @druski British actors are just better trained. We take performing arts very seriously in the UK and a lot of these actors would have gone to an arts school from ~10y/o. They're trained on stage in the theatre so they're just better actors. A lot of BA actors are ex raps and singers.

A 17-year-old in Iowa boiled beets in her chemistry class and turned them into stitches that change color when your wound gets infected. Her name is Dasia Taylor. It started as a science fair project.
She wanted a low-tech version of the "smart stitches" Tufts researchers built in 2016. Those used thread wired up with sensors and a tiny chip that pinged your phone if something went wrong. Cool, but useless without a phone or a hospital that can afford it.
Her version doesn't need any of that. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, like lemon juice but much milder. When bacteria grow in a wound, the chemistry flips and turns more like soap or baking soda.
Beet juice has a quirk. The same red pigment that stains your fingers when you cook it shifts color based on what it touches. Bright red on healthy skin. Dark purple on infected skin. The switch lines up with infection almost exactly.
She tested ten threads before finding a cotton-polyester blend that soaked up the dye and changed color within five minutes. That was the prototype.
Around 1 in 40 American surgeries end in an infection at the cut, costing hospitals more than $3 billion a year. In poorer countries the rate is closer to 1 in 9. In parts of Africa it's 1 in 6. In some Ethiopian hospitals, up to a quarter of surgery patients leave with an infection.
The whole game is catching it early. Spot it in time and antibiotics handle it. Miss the window and the patient is back on the operating table.
Dasia filed a patent in 2021 and started a medical device company called VariegateHealth in 2022. The stitches haven't been tested on real patients yet. New medical device patents can take a decade. She's also looking into a side benefit: the beet pigment kills bugs like E. coli and Klebsiella in lab tests.
Smart stitches need a phone to read them. Hers just need eyes.

@ASUS_BUTTERFLY @Inspirenaire What’s what’s her IG I would love to check out his style
English

@Inspirenaire Tonya is so BAD! She is style inspiration but not my aesthetic, if that makes sense. She's that woman. Background: she had a baby with Kordell Stewart (b4 Porsha) & is the 1 who got NeNe together when she told her she needed to eat cause she was so skinny.
