GIGA Pro Gym's Team - Does anyone know how to do what they say they want to do?
Presented here are the bios from their website (as of the end of June 2023). I am going to flag what I want you to look for... who here has the technical background to run a multimedia platform. Or are they a marketing person who might have worked in media. I'm going to emphasis these are direct quotes. I'm changing nothing.
I also want to point out that Fox's "early career includes Summer Olympic TV broadcast coverage" is that she was a group VP for Time Warner Cable in the early 2000s. And "start up launches for pro-cycling and senior tennis" still doesn't name what these enterprises are, we've been unable to identify what they might be among non-defunct entities.

SOBRE ACEITAÇÃO, FICHAS E CONTAS.
Boa tarde, queridos atletas 💙 Mod Biles passando aqui para dar alguns pequenos avisos importantes para vocês, então leiam com atenção! E caso possuírem alguma dúvida só nos mandar uma ask ou chegar na nossa DM.
Tumblr media
Vamos lá!
Como respondido anteriormente, a nossa primeira aceitação acontecerá ainda hoje! Isso para que não seja nada corrido e vocês possam seguir todo mundo com calma. A aceitação ocorrerá às 19h, sendo assim, cadastros enviados até as 17h30 entrarão nessa leva de aceitação. A próxima será feita amanhã, em dois horários: à tarde e à noite!
Dito isso, recomendamos que, até a aceitação, vocês movimentem as suas contas no Twitter! Seja com RTs de coisas que seu personagem talvez daria, likes em posts, e até postando alguns tweets aleatórios (mas nada exagerado e, muito menos, para gerar interação!). Estamos dando esse espaço justamente para ajudar a evitar que o senhor Elon Musk implique com alguma conta. Estaremos de olho quanto a isso e chamaremos a atenção caso esteja ocorrendo interação IC antes da hora.
Agora, dois avisos sobre os cadastros:
Tivemos algumas dúvidas sobre os números que pedimos no formulário, e estou aqui para explicar melhor o motivo deles. Como a mod Akio respondeu em algumas asks, pedimos os números para padronizar todos os esportes. Apesar de ser algo, geralmente, exclusivo apenas de times, solicitamos esse pequeno detalhe para padronização porque todos os cadastros enviados serão postados publicamente, onde ficará a nossa masterlist!
Assim, haverá um gráfico bonitinho que fiz para vocês, no qual será identificado o número e o nome que nossos queridos atletas irão usar em suas camisas!
Os números não poderão ser repetidos no mesmo time ou em esportes individuais. Exemplo: Eu, Mod Biles, escolhi para minha personagem Simone o número 20, e estou na ginástica. Mas a Mod Fadinha também escolheu o número 20 para a personagem dela, Rayssa, que também está na ginástica resultando em número repetido. Nesse caso, iremos atualizar o appcount a partir de hoje com os números para que vocês possam visualizar, como também iremos marcar no appcount como pendência aqueles repetidos, e vocês poderão entrar em contato conosco para fazer a alteração. Lembrando que a preferência pelo número será sempre para quem enviou o cadastro primeiro.
Agora, essa regra não se aplica para times distintos. Por exemplo: Eu, Mod Biles, escolhi o número 9 para minha personagem no vôlei da Seondo, mas a Mod Fadinha também escolheu o número 9 para a personagem dela no vôlei da Hwayang. Por serem times de grupos diferentes, dificilmente elas irão se enfrentar individualmente, e, assim, não há problema.
Para finalizar este aviso longo, queremos reforçar a regra de sinalizar a universidade que o seu personagem representa no perfil do Twitter! Seja na bio ou na localização, isso nos ajudará a ter um melhor controle. Então fiquem atentos a isso para ninguém receber uma DM da moderação!

RAFAEL CASAL & CALI COWBOY CO - INSTAGRAM PHOTO (2024)
From Simone Biles to Beyoncé, there’s been a lot of conversation around the country and cowboy lifestyle, and the role of Black women in that space.
LonDen Scott, a cowgirl from Ladera Heights, is one of the few Black women in L.A. who is trying to stake her claim in a male-dominated world. For her and other Black cowgirls, it feels like Beyoncé’s album came just in time.

Simone Biles has been widely embraced as the latest elite athlete who had the courage to acknowledge her vulnerability.
The U.S. gymnastics superstar, whose run at the Tokyo Olympics came to an abrupt halt when she pulled herself from the women’s gymnastics team final, says the reaction to her decision has helped her realize that she is valued for more than competing and winning medals.
“The outpouring love & support I’ve received has made me realize I’m more than my accomplishments and gymnastics which I never truly believed before,” Biles said in a social media post on Thursday, several hours before the individual all-around gymnastics final, an event that she was favored to win and also withdrew from.
Biles said she was not in the right place mentally to compete. During the team final, she skipped her turns in the uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise after stumbling on the landing of her vault, and she said she had lost her sense of direction in the air as she was twisting and flipping. Had she continued, she said, she would have risked injury or hurt her team’s chances to win.
Ten years ago, or even five, an athlete of Biles’s stature might have been reluctant to say that she struggled with pressure, much less to have withdrawn in the middle of an Olympic competition. But a shift in cultural acceptance began to take place in 2015-16, when the NCAA created a mental health initiative. Just before the 2016 Rio Games, the swimmer Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian ever, began to discuss wrestling with depression and suicidal thoughts. Since then, the NBA players DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love and the figure skater Gracie Gold, among other athletes, have gone public to say they grapple with anxiety and depression. And Biles’s decision, not unlike the tennis star Naomi Osaka’s withdrawal from this year’s French Open, rejects a long tradition of stoicism in sports.

I am begging yall to add "radfem" and other tags they use to your filtered tags. since I added it to mine, multiple posts of theirs have shown up on my dash and mutuals' blogs. adding a 'terfs dni' to your bio doesn't help much. this will. also "gendercrit" (again no slash) to filtered words, as that is often in urls, and we all know no-one usually reads the urls. there's a post about hijabs and another about the guy who complained about simone biles and then threw a fit after losing his own match that I'm specifically talking about.

ČUDNI SU PUTEVI POSLOVNI
Dobre stvari se dešavaju, kada se postaviš u poziciju odakle možeš vidjeti barem obrise uspjeha. Znati (sebi) objasniti zašto nešto radiš, možda, čak i važnije. Pronađi svoje ZAŠTO, ističe proslavljeni autor Simon Sinek, na što me povremeno podsjeti i jedan od mojih bližih, dugogodišnjih prijatelja. Obojica dijelimo sličan ukus kada su u pitanju videi na YouTube platformi. U slobodno vrijeme kojeg imam i previše, sakupljam ih u svoju kolekciju "Gledaj kasnije". Uistinu, zgodno dugme. Tamo trenutno imam sačuvano preko 1000 videa za pogledati. (Želim vjerovati u život nakon smrti, jer jedan nije dovoljan za SVE.)
Tražimo se i pronalazimo, neprekidno mijenjamo i sazrijevamo. Tako bi barem bilo pravilno. Međutim, ne usuđujem se tvrditi da postoji ispravno ili pogrešno. Ipak, drugačije sebi pločamo put. Zastupljeno je i vjerovanje da je on već popločan za nas. Lično pomislim, gdje je zabava u tome? Možda nešto više o tome u nekoj drugoj prilici.
Nekad optimistično pomislimo da smo tačno tamo gdje trenutno trebamo biti. Sasvim je u redu i ne znati kuda trebamo ići, šta je to zapravo konačni cilj, svrha. Problematično, s druge strane, je ne znati gdje se nalaziš. Figurativno i doslovno. Jedno je istina - na svakom junakovom putovanju (pogledaj: The Hero's Journey, autora Joseph Campbell) heroj je nesvjestan iskušenja i avanture koja se nalazi ispred njega.
U prenesenom značenju, za potrebe naše današnje priče, sve naše odluke, koliko god beznačajno izgledale, su nas dovele do tačke u kojoj se trenutno nalazimo. Ukoliko to nismo spremni prihvatiti, nismo spremni krenuti (ili nastaviti) naprijed. No, to zna biti prilično osjetljive i intimne prirode, pa bih se pozvao na amandman "ne pucaj u glasnika".
Odličan primjer, i meni lično bliži srcu, je moguće pronaći u videoigrama; herojsko putovanje obavezno započinje na nogama, a tokom vremena napredovanja kroz sistem sticanja poena iskustva i nadograđivanja stabla vještina lika kojeg kontrolišeš, moći ćeš priuštiti auto. Do tada ćeš ga ipak bezbroj puta ukrasti jer je GTA skraćenica koja u prijevodu predstavlja krivično djelo "krađa automobila".
Ako si neko poput mene i vjeruješ u očuvanje mira i harmonije, do svog odredišta ćeš odabrati šetnju ili čak taksi vozilo. Utvrđeno je da bi se češćom upotrebom javnog prijevoza smanjilo i zagađenje zraka kojeg kolektivno udišemo. Tako sam i učinio.
(PAUZA ZA PREDAH.)
Nije bilo vremena za gubljenje.
Gospođa mama me je pozvala u jutarnjim satima i prije nego što sam uspio obaviti bilo šta od svojih obaveza. Počinjem misliti da uzastopno odgađanje alarma od 08:00 do 09:30 nije najpreporučljivije za produktivno oblikovanje dana.
Bivam obaviješten o nedaći u kojoj se zatekao otac porodičnog prijatelja, osoba ograničenog kretanja, po koju sada trebamo otići na Univerzitetski Klinički Centar, mjesto bolje poznato kao "Gradina". Za taj kompleks me, pretpostavljam kao i većinu ljudi, ne vežu naročito prijatne uspomene, ali nisam mogao odbiti majku.
Gospodin je tamo nevoljko proveo noć, a trenutna misija je izbaviti ga iz njegovateljskih ruku, samo da bi mu pronašli nove, ali ovaj put u ugodnosti njegovog doma kojeg je zaradio pozivom profesora. Srećom, ja sam ipak tu, na poziv udaljen od mamine kancelarije, a njegova su djeca u Australiji i Kanadi. Nije prijateljstvo samo kad se treba družiti i slaviti, podsjetit će kasnije mama.
Već kroz nekoliko minuta nakon poziva, uputio sam se prema autobuskom stajalištu prekoputa Elektroprivrede gdje me je već čekao taksi, prijevozno sredstvo koje izuzetno rijetko koristim.
Nakon što smo razmijenili nekoliko uobičajeno prijatnih riječi po ulasku u taksi, primjetio sam da gospodin vozač nosi masku za lice (proklete bile!) sa logom kompanije kod koje sam tokom prethodnog mjeseca aplicirao za posao, što sam mu ubrzo i spomenuo.
"Kad počinješ?!" - upita me entuzijastično.
Objasnih, kako još uvijek čekam odgovor i u međuvremenu tražim druge prilike, inostrane u prvom redu. Vrijeme ne čeka nikoga. Zatim uslijedi još nekoliko pitanja nalik onima, koje bi zatekao na intervjuu za posao u sklopu provjere pozadine.
"Pa bil' ti radio?!" - ponovo kao iz topa ispuca gospodin, direktno, kako naš narod to umije. Odgovorio sam potvrdno sa smiješkom kojeg ni maska nije mogla sakriti. Nisam ga ni želio sakriti. Bio sam blago zatečen. Na moje dodatno iznenaneđenje, gospodin je odmah primio telefon u ruke i pozvao broj.
Gospođa sa kojom je komunicirao zatraži nekoliko mojih ličnih podataka koje će zabilježiti, a potom pronaći moju prijavu i provjeriti podatke. Posredovanjem gospodina na telefonu, izdiktirao sam ponovo svoje ime i kontakt broj telefona za potencijalni poziv. Zahvaljujem se gospodinu na usluzi nekoliko puta, kao i na vožnji, izlazim iz taksija kod "Prinčeve džamije" i dobijam blagi podsjet da uslugu, onu primarnu, nisam niti platio. Nezgodan način za zahvaliti nekome.
Nakon nekoliko sati i sumnjivog broja krugova oko kompleksa gdje se na "Gradini" nalazi prijemni odjel, mama i ja smo uspješno dostavili gorespomenutog gospodina na njegovu kućnu adresu. Tada sam dobio poziv od gospođe koju je moj novi prijatelj iz taksija pozvao i bivam pozvan na razgovor u poslijepodnevnim satima. Odazvao sam se bez oklijevanja.
Kao osobi kojoj pisanje molbi, zahtjeva i pozivnica nije strano, kao niti lično ili virtuelno (čitaj: LinkedIn) umrežavanje, bio sam radostan zbog nove prilike iz neočekivanog izvora - iz jednog taksi vozila.
Sada, ne mogu ti zabraniti pomisao da sam obični srećković koji je jednostavno nabasao na priliku. Nazvali bi to srećom u ipak neugodnim okolnostima. Iz iskustva pomaganja osobi sa ugrađenim katetrom, možete samo poželjeti da vi i vaši bližnji nikada ne doživite takvu sudbinu. Zapravo, bilo ko, ukoliko ste altruistični. Najveća nemoć je kada tijelo ne može ono što um želi, kaže mama.
Pored toga, istina je da sam privilegovani bijelac, samohrane majke koja mi je omogućila i više nego što je mogla, uključujući i privatno obrazovanje. Postavljen u tu poziciju, iskoristio sam svoje okolnosti, ali i aktivno djelovao da ih poboljšam. Proaktivnost me je, uz sugestije i pomoć meni dragih i bliskih osoba, odvela na studij u drugu državu, tačnije u dvije, tokom dvogodišnjeg perioda. Upisao sam se na državni fakultet kao redovni student, a potom ostvario prava na Erasmus razmjenu. Dobivši stipendiju koja djelomično pokriva troškove života, spojio sam ugodno sa korisnim. Ni to nije došlo samo, preko noći, niti bez svojih iskušenja i izazova.
Kretanje je neophodno koliko i komunikacija. Ukoliko nikada nigdje ne zakoračimo, ne možemo očekivati rezultate za koje smatramo da ih zaslužujemo. Ukoliko ne pokušamo, jednostavno ih nismo trenutno dostojni, niti imamo pravo žaliti se na kosmičke nepravde i urote protiv nas.
Ako vam ipak prilika zakuca na vrata, bez da ste morali napraviti ijedan pedalj na vašem putovanju; bit će nemjerljivo razočarana. Nastavit će potragu za osobom koja je dostojna nje. (Nešto slično kao Shazam!) Za osobom koja se kontinuirano postavlja u poziciju za uspjeh, pa čak i neuspjeh, jer šta je iskustvo bez ijednog poraza?
Sve dok se budemo kretali, mentalna mapa prostora u kojem se nalazimo, i naše uloge u njemu, će biti jasnija. Znati koja su nam mjesta blagonaklona i koja trebamo i želimo istraživati, nam može pomoći da ona potencijalno opasna i za nas štetna zaobiđemo. To je apsolutna istina i za ljude koje srećemo na našem (herojskom) putovanju. Ukoliko na našem putu susrećemo neprijatelje, krećemo se u pravom smjeru, uče nas videoigre.
Do tada ostaje samo pokušati iskoristiti svoje okolnosti na najbolji mogući način, svojim tempom, mjereći se samo sa samim sobom, bez oskudijevanja od traženja pomoći i sugestija od ljudi kojim vjerujemo i koje cijenimo. A kada se sretnim okolnostima dogodi da nas neko za nešto i preporuči, to neće biti slučajno. Sve što smo do sada napravili će nas postaviti u poziciju za ostvariti uspjeh i bit ćemo spremni opravdati investiciju i povjerenje uloženo u nas.
Najzad, čak i ako već posjedujete automobil, dajte priliku šetnji ili čak taksiju. Budite turisti u svom gradu. Nikad ne znate šta vas sve tamo čeka.
- Adi.

I think this is more of a true drabble than the last one... tl;dr you’re a TA and erik is your student
302, 302, you repeated the roo number over and over again in your head as you ambled along in the awkward walk-run of the supremely late college student, hoping nothing would fall out of your only partially zipped backpack.
Exhausted from an early morning setting up experiments in your research lab, you had made the fatal mistake of “resting your eyes” after your alarm went off at 5 PM. The next time you opened them it was 5:45, and you had no more than 15 minutes to run across campus to your discussion section. Normally, you wouldn’t mind being a few minutes late, but the catch this time was that you were the one teaching it. It wouldn’t be a good look for the TA to be tardy the very first class of the semester.
You finally made it to the door, and while you allowed yourself to catch a breather, checked the time on your cell phone. 5:58, not too bad, you thought.. You hurriedly walked in.
To your surprise, there was a pretty good showing for a 6 PM introductory class. About sixteen or so students sat in or around their desks, shooting the breeze with friends they’d made last semester, texting on their phones, or waiting impatiently for the class to start, presumably so that they could go home as early as possible.
You were a bit nervous, especially since your partner had called out sick just this morning. Trying to ignore your stomach’s Simone Biles impersonation, you set down your backpack. Thankfully, no one had paid attention to you entering the room. You circled around the front desk and leaned back against it, looking towards the class. You knew you were trembling like a leaf but you couldn’t help it. The ambient noise only grew louder.
You cleared your throat loudly to draw attention but the sound drowned in all the chatter. You were losing your edge. You eyed the clock nervously and then looked back in front of you. You had no idea how you were going to get these students to pay attention to you.
That’s when you noticed him.
A young man seated in the front row amidst the controlled chaos was studying you carefully. The first thing you noticed about him was how he was dressed, somewhere on the cusp of chic and homeless. It was probably those gold-rimmed glasses paired with baggy sweatpants and a tight-fitting long-sleeved shirt. Or maybe it was his posture, laid far back in his seat with his arms crossed as though he couldn’t have been bothered to show up. Once your eyes connected with his, he smirked and turned behind him.
“Y’all gonna shut the fuck up? The TA’s here.”
Despite speaking at a normal volume, the power in his voice cut clearly through the room and the chitchat seemed to fizzle out. He looked up at you again and nodded, the twinkle in his eye seeming to say how’d you like that?
You could feel your face warm up, but you pushed past it and started your lesson.
“Hey all, my name is Y/N, and thanks for coming to BIO 102 discussion.”
---
Sooner than you knew it, the hour was up. The class was actually pretty cool once they had quieted down, tolerated the mandatory icebreaker activities, and even brought up questions from lecture that you were fortunately prepared for. You told everyone they were free to leave, and in under a minute, the students had all filed out of the room. 
All except one. 
Erik, the guy whose gaze had been so heavy it was disconcerting, had not said another word the entire time, aside from his name. Every time your eyes met, you could almost see an amber glint in his eye. He was intimidating.
And now he was walking towards you, you noticed from the corner of your eye as you packed your things. Assuredly so, his hands in his pockets.
Your heart began to pound and you berated yourself for being this flustered by a guy. This was silly, no matter how nicely his chest muscles and biceps showed through his top, or how broad and square his shoulders were, or how sharp the curve of his jawline was or how bright and charming his smile was or how …
He was before you now, stroking his chin with his thumb and forefinger. 
“You busy tonight, teach?” He said, with a cheeky grin.
