Migrants and local high school AP Spanish students, who have been dismissed from school to help interpret, play a ball game in the Parish House parking lot to pass the time.
Mayor Whitmire said in a press conference today he wants “to feel safe to go to the Kroger store at night” but high crime at the West Grey location gives him pause.

: CenterPoint blamed Hurricane Beryl’s outages on tree debris, saying Houston’s canopy had been weakened from years of extreme weather.
Customers told me the energy company repeatedly ignored requests to trim or remove hazardous trees.

i got kicked out of a meme page bc i hooked up with the admin's crush / a dude's ex once fb friended me as an intimidation tactic and then begged for a threesome / those two girls formed a band and fb invited me to the concert
Breaking News: Wesleyan University, a liberal arts college in Connecticut, ended legacy admissions, which help the children of alumni, just weeks after the Supreme Court’s ban on affirmative action.
Calls for Mike Miles' resignation are mounting after
@SpectrumNews1TX
alleged that Miles-backed charter schools in Colorado received Texas state funds.
HISD, TEA, and Miles' charter school company Third Future have not responded to requests for comment.
i know yall have some fallen angel complex going on here but i guarantee you’re all still doing better than the kids who were marginalized from the education system to begin with
Inbox: Kroger is seeking to dispel rumors that the grocery chain’s West Gray location is unsafe after the mayor said he now avoids the store at night.
“It’s worth noting our West Gray store is located in a relatively low-crime area.”

male friendships be like “i don’t know anything about his personal life or upbringing but once a week we sit in a room and listen to the same music together”
Metereologists told me they'd never seen anything like it, and that they'd remember it for decades to come.
I spoke to a few of the city's weather experts about what made Houston's storm last night go from bad to "historic" in just twenty minutes.
As student activists face crackdowns across the country, I talked to protestors at
@UHouston

@RiceUniversity
about how they’ve largely avoided university ire.
To get around protest policy, Rice students labeled their encampment an art installation.
one of the ex hookups i never talk to looked me dead in the eye and said “hey you” and i freaked out until i realized i was wearing the cardinal costume and he had no idea who i was

She testified against Texas’ drag ban twice. This backlash was worse, she said.
Refugees attended mass this morning at St. Elizabeth’s Church in Edgartown.
“Please keep these people in your prayers,” Rev. Paul Fedak told the congregation.
“I’m a strong believer in the word of God,” one migrant, Uvaldo Arcaya said. “No matter where I am I seek it out.”
the fact that r*th can cry to a group of white seniors about losing their senior spring and fail to show the same sympathy for FGLI students worried about their livelihood shows me exactly what he thinks college is for
straight girls are always tweeting like “my ex emotionally manipulated me but joke’s on him bc he was ugly and i never came!!!” babe what kind of flex is that

Is that bad for kids’ learning? Well, it’s not good.

: Mayor Whitmire implied his local Kroger store was unsafe. Kroger shot back.
I looked into crime around the West Gray Kroger and its Polk Street counterpart “Combat Kroger” to determine just how scared Houstonians should be to get groceries.
my friend was telling me about a girl he knows in new york who just got out of a long term relationship and is trying to date women “but she keeps ending up with mean wesleyan girls”
said i wanted to be a journalist in class the other day and this girl *immediately* after was like “i thought i wanted to be a journalist but i’d rather be the person getting written about 😏” ok well first of all you’re neither
i just think that the class of 2020, since they aren’t getting a proper graduation, should get to keep their student discounts for the rest of their lives
i felt more isolated as a chubby kid growing up than i did as a brown or a queer kid and it’s because fatness is still seen as a personal and moral failure. it makes u question your work ethic, your ability to be loved, your physical agency
u ever meet someone with like a.....stock personality? like they went online and googled "sorority girl" or "guy at the DIY show" and didn't customize from there
me: *speaking slowly* when u treat me badly it makes me feel....bad
man: i had no idea....why didn’t you communicate this basic concept earlier? it must be your fault then. i can name 3 emotions
this harassment case is such an ugly note to end my wes career. i didn't leave texas to see another institution bend over backwards to preserve the ego of a republican dynasty
two years ago i pegged a dude and almost died from the UTI......please remember to pee after sex and vote democrat and maybe pee after voting just to be safe
can white girls stop saying they have “cr*ckhead” energy and start saying they have “squirrel” energy or “chihuahua with UTI” energy bc it more accurately fits whatever annoying thing they have going on
as someone who’s lived in hot weather my entire life only to get heatstroke in a “normally cold” climate, places like wesleyan need to understand that AC is a health and safety issue, not just an optional amenity
i just don’t think white twitter leftists have the range to be critiquing immigrants for buying into american capitalism......if there’s no empathy it’s just wokepackaged white saviorism
