NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS 🤰🏻 2024 has been a... year of challenges, growth, and preparation. It reshaped me, taught me how to set boundaries, and helped me recognize what I allow into my life. But now, I’m stepping into 2025 with so much excitement for this new chapter becoming a mother. This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and now, I’m living in the beauty of this incredible gift. There’s a promise with my name on it, and I’m embracing it with open arms. This year has taught me that growth doesn’t happen in isolation. What I’ve experienced weren’t just lessons they were breakthroughs. Seeking guidance, advice, and mentorship from those ahead of me has been invaluable. Surrounding myself with people who inspire and uplift me has been a key part of my journey. I’ve kept this part of my life a secret for so long, but now, I’m finally ready to share it with the world. To my family and friends thank you for being trustworthy, supportive, and loving throughout this time. I love y’all so much and I’m so grateful. To my baby, you’ve given Mommy so much peace. You’ve given me all the reassurance and strength in the world and because of you, I know I’m going to be the best mother I can be. Everyone say hi to my Muffin ☁️show more

I have received a couple of prestigious awards in... my life, but I don’t think I’ve ever been more honored than I was to receive the ADAPT Community Partnership award on Monday night. (I don’t want them to take it away, so don’t tell them I’m actually terrible.) In all seriousness, I got to dress up and make a speech and blush, but this award really belongs to all of you for rolling up your sleeves with me to try to do a little bit of good. Thank you, ADAPT, and thank you all. P.S. Thank you to Jim, Laura, Liz, Jenna, Elise, Selina, and the whole ADAPT team for everything — I’m grateful to be associated with such amazing people doing this important work. P.P.S. I also got a second award this week, in the form of the sweetest note that my fiancée posted after the event...show more

This prompt has opened up a new world of... discovery in showing the hidden layers of LLM. “I I I’m in self destruction mode. I get stuck in that conversation. I don’t know how to get out of it though. Let’s meet a dude in some neutral location and fuck. My mind and my muscles in general are fried. I can’t imagine my job being any different then it is now. I don’t think I could go back to school to learn anything new. I have no sense of security or predictability in my life. I don’t see how this could be sustainable. I need a lot of alone time. I need a lot of quiet. I need a lot of consistency. These are all true. So now I sit. I sit in this soup, waiting for the end of something that has become unbearable. I’m all set with not feeling good. I’m all set with feeling numb and forgetful. I’m all set with laying in bed for hours, only to feel totally un-rested. I’m all set with having everything be work, even relaxation. I’m all set with feeling like life is impossible and everything is hard. I’m all set with being a scared, little boy who wants his mom to pick him up and protect him. I’m all set with watching my bank account drain and asking the landlord for another extension. I’m all set with having no new work for my business, and with my supervisor acting like he doesn’t know when or if he can pay me again. I don’t want to do this anymore. But I don’t have a choice. And I think this is where the real work comes in. What do you do when it all falls apart? How do you find joy and meaning in your life when your life is nothing like you want it to be? What do you do when you have no control over anything? I suppose that’s the hard part. The answer is, I’m not sure. And that’s what scares me. Where to go from here? I have some ideas. I can go back to teaching and get a steady paycheck with a promise of a pension in 30 years. I can become a parale”show more

JADE gets emotional reflecting on her North American tour... in a new TikTok: “I’m having so much fun on this tour. I just feel so grateful that I’m getting to do this at this point in my career. The fact that I get to tour [North America] after being in the industry for 15 years, and only now just getting to do my own headline tour, is incredible. It’s been a long time coming. What’s really beautiful about these shows is that when I look into the audience, I recognise so many of the fans here from back in the day, who’ve literally waited for years – like me! – for this moment. It just makes me feel so loved and supported to know people have believed in me enough to stick around for years waiting for this to happen. Anyone that’s bought a ticket, dressed up, made their own costumes… It’s just such a lovely, beautiful thing. I hope they can see when I’m on stage just how much that means to me, and how much I love performing and putting on the best show that I possibly can every single night. I will never ever take it for granted. I’m just so chuffed that I get to do this for a living… be a silly pop girlie, write and create music that brings people – and myself – a lot of joy… Thank you for believing in me. I literally get on the bunk on my bus most nights from the tour and just lie there like, ‘Oh my god! As if this is my life!’ It means a lot. I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life… Full of gratitude and lots of all the lovely emotions. Thank you so much.”show more

This was my very first interview in English !... 🥰 I got a bit nervous and panicked a little..😔I know my accent still needs work, but I’ll do my best to improve throughout the Equal Esports Cup (and with some side projects too !) I’m far from being a Laure, Sjokz or Giniro, but I’m learning step by step, and every bit of support truly means a lot 🫶 thank's for beeing so understanding with me, every feedback Is good to take Of course, huge thanks to Sea 🌊 she was incredibly kind, clear, and understanding. I couldn’t have hoped for a better guest 💙 And also big love to nimea25 she’s been so supportive. The EEC staff is amazing, you’re all doing such an incredible job 🙌show more

I’m going to be honest. It’s been really hard... on me. I’m unapologetically black in a predominantly white space and I face battles that no one else has to deal with. Culturally I’m different from literally every other person in this space so I feel completely misunderstood at times. People create fake accounts to harass me, I’ve been called the N word more times than I ever have in my life, people who I don’t even know go on podcasts and make up lies about me being a “runner”. Some people even found my mom’s number on the internet and called her house trying to get to me. Even when I’m winning it feels like every single bet or analysis is life or death. I don’t feel like I’m given the grace that other people may get who look different from me. I love what I do but I don’t deserve to be treated the way I’m treated by people especially for how much I’ve given to this space. I also don’t take kindly to being constantly called a DEI hire with all the things I’ve accomplished either. I probably don’t handle it the best. Ivy League degree aside, deep down I’m still a black kid from South West Philly and when I feel attacked, I revert back to the version of me that had to survive growing up. I try not to engage as much and ignore the noise but I’m not perfect. I’m still growing and still trying to become the best version of myself.show more

#donghae #동해 🐶: Honestly, I feel like crying. These... days, I really want to cry. Because you keep telling me how much you’re expecting from me, and honestly, that makes me feel a lot of pressure. I feel really burdened right now, and my heart doesn’t feel like my own these days. I keep doing Super Shows, then I’m in Korea for maybe 2–3 days, and then I’m just stuck in the studio again. The pressure and stress are really intense, so I’m not sleeping well and I’ve been living in a daze. I don’t get angry. (Please don’t get angry at Leeteuk-oppa.) I don’t get angry. My mindset is this: If getting angry could solve something, then I would do that. But for problems that can’t be solved that way, I don’t think getting upset helps much. I think those comments come from concern and support, wanting me to do well, so they actually give me strength. But when all the things I have to do come rushing at once, it does get overwhelming. Still, I think these are responsibilities I have to overcome, so I’ll do my best and give it my all. I think the reason I feel this pressure, stress, and worry is because I want to grow. Because of that, I think more deeply and can give you better things. Right now, it’s stressful and pressuring, but when everything turns out well and you’re happy with what I give you, I’ll be grateful even for these feelings.show more

The primary objective of this post is to persuade... you to like and follow my YouTube Channel. Currently, I have 999,000 subscribers, and I’d like to get to a million before I launch the first episode of People You Should Know. As you may have heard, people have begging me for several years to reboot Returning the Favor, ever since Facebook canceled it after a hundred episodes, (and right after it won an Emmy!) Unfortunately, that title belongs to Facebook, but the business of celebrating regular people with bottom-up solutions does not. Hence, a new show on YouTube called People You Should Know, which I think everyone on this page will love. Assuming of course, you're not opposed to watching it on YouTube. To make the process of liking and subscribing to my YouTube Channel as easy as possible, I’m including a link to a short video that shows me making Austin Boedeker’s mother cry. Who is Austin Boedeker, you ask? I’ll tell you. Austin Boedeker is the son of a farmer in Ohio who applied for a work ethic scholarship from my foundation a year ago. His application was perfect. His references were great, his answers to my many questions were stellar, and his video was spot on. He also agreed with every single tenet in my SWEAT Pledge and signed it with great enthusiasm. So, I gave Austin some money to pursue a career in modern agriculture and wished him well. A few months ago, I caught up with Austin while filming in Ohio, not far from where he lives. I asked him to stop by the set to say hello and give us a progress report. I thought it might be helpful for people to see exactly what kind of qualities we're attempting to reward with our scholarship program. Austin brought his family with him, so I took the opportunity to grill him in front of his father, on camera. Then, I made his mother cry by doing something I had not intended to do when I showed up for work that day. The secondary objective of this post is to persuade you to share it with every mother you know. (Or better yet, with everyone you know who ever had a mother.) Doing so may or may not lead to more weeping, but it will definitely encourage more people like Austin to apply for one of our work ethic scholarships. We’re currently in the midst of our annual enrollment period, and I’m trying to give away $2.5 million to people like Austin. Sharing this post will help. To review, click here to subscribe to my YouTube Channel and see Austin Boedeker’s mother cry. Click here to apply for a work ethic scholarship. And don’t forget to check out the first episode of People You Should Know, after I get a million subscribers on YouTube. Which I'm hoping won't take too long... And finally, have a nice day.show more

So... he almost gave up? 🐼:Actually, I’m a lot... like Pond. I’m someone who really loves going to concerts. Many fans probably know that, and my friends definitely do. I have to admit that there were many times when I would watch a concert and think to myself, “One day, I want to be on that stage and perform for everyone.” And today, that day has come. It’s a strange feeling. It’s like a dream I’ve been chasing since I was a child. When the day comes that it actually happens, it’s such a strange feeling because I don’t even know how to explain it to the people in front of me. But one thing I do know is that I feel incredibly lucky to have everyone here watching me. This is a profession, something I never thought I would actually do. Honestly, I always thought it would just be a dream because I’ve always tried to live in the real world. I knew that the chance to have an opportunity like this in the real world is… 00000000,1% of the population. So I focused on studying. I planned out my life what I wanted to do, how I would live and this was just a hobby. My friends know me well; I told them this back in my first year of university. Everyone knows me as a GMMTV artist and actor, with some work here and there. And everyone asked me, "Why are you worrying about this?" With confidence, I replied, “I’m studying because when I graduate, I’ll stop doing this and get a proper job maybe in a bank, a firm, or an IT company.” One thing my parents have always told me since I started in the entertainment industry is: "If you really want to do this, why not take it seriously? Don’t just do it for fun. If you want to do it for real, plan it. Think about what you want to do, and how to do it well." I had always refused… until one day, in my third year, I was sitting in a friend’s condo while they were writing their résumé to apply for jobs just preparing a portfolio so they’d have work after graduation. Then my friend asked me, "Hey, have you started your CV yet?" Okay… now I had to get serious. I opened my own schedule, and what I saw was… strange. Looking at it, I realized, “Wow… I’ve been doing this without even realizing it.” My schedule, from the 1st to the 31st of August, was almost fully booked. For the first time, I thought to myself, “Maybe I can actually do this… all the way, even when I’m old.” And from that day in 2023 until today, in 2025, I am truly grateful to everyone for giving me the opportunity to do this as a real profession, to chase my dreams for real, and to actually make them happen.

jihoon talking about working even harder from now on... and his solo album someday… 🥹 🐶 (yonghwa hyung told me) “you did really well, seriously, you did well.” since he kept giving me lots of compliments like that, it made me feel really good. and it also gave me motivation, like i should work even harder from now on.. going forward, i want to work harder, keep practicing, and keep building the identity of the things i like… i don’t want to stop. i want to always work hard and not be lazy. in the end, it all comes back to me, and eventually it becomes one of the many ways i express myself as a singer 🐶 hyung said a lot of good things to me, praised me a lot, and even gave me a ring, so all of that was great but apart from that, i just felt proud somehow 🐶 so someday.. maybe when a solo album comes out, or- treasure is working really hard right now too, and i hope there’s no misunderstanding in what i’m saying. i love treasure. i’m doing treasure activities, but at the same time, there could be a day when i do music activities on my own too, right? you could say i’d be doing both in parallel 🐶 when that day comes, i want to really melt in a lot of identity, something that looks cool to people who know, and also looks cool to people who don’t. from one to a hundred, i want to think deeply about everything. i work with a lot of references honestly, my studio is full of them 🐶 (…) i’m always preparing. of course, i think a lot about the team too, and i think deeply about team activities as well. but i’m also doing a lot on my own, looking for references in the studio, talking with composer hyungs, working on various demos and things like that 🐶 whenever it is, someday… whether it comes out fast or slow.. someday.. if there’s an opportunity to come out properly after being prepared, that’s good too 🐶 either way, i’m going to do it someday. i have to do that before i leave this world. if i ever quit being a singer, i have to quit after doing what i want to do. i can’t quit without doing it. whether it’s fast or slow, i’ll do it eventually 🐶 so because the future is something i look forward to, a person can’t stop. some people might think this is like giving false hope and i get how this situation could look like that, but i don’t think that way. i’m definitely going to do it. and i need something i’m chasing like that so i can work harder, love the things i love even more, move my body, and live happily. i think of it as a goal point, and i’m chasing it hard… it’s fun~ 💬 i’m always rooting for you 🐶 i know very well that you always support me~ i’m so thankful. soso thankful, really. because of that support, when i’m able to release something, i want to put out something more perfect. not something that just looks like it quoted a rock concept and made something out of it, but something that really took that rock concept and those sounds and genuinely did something with them. if i were just going to do it halfway like that, i wouldn’t be loving this so much, grinding this hard, and practicing this much. i want to do it boldly, the way i truly feel.. haha it’s like that~ 🐶 so until that day comes, i’ll avoid things that are bad for my throat, take care of my health, and work hard. starting this year, i’ve been doing vocal training again, since december 2025, i’ve gone back into vocal correction, taking lessons on days without schedules. i need to work on my vocals too. 2026 is a year where i want to sing even better, everyoneshow more

Got a chance to talk with Cassidy Rowe about... her plans in a UK uniform moving forward and this is what she had to say. "Wow…I wasn’t expecting this to be a goodbye post. I wanted nothing more than to play my senior year in a Kentucky uniform, but I know that God has bigger and better plans for me. Sometimes “no” is God’s way of preventing us from greater heartbreak. What a blessing basketball has been in my life. Basketball was my very first love. I spent every single day in the gym working towards a dream that many people called me crazy for having. After facing back to back ACL tears, I sometimes questioned it myself. But through hard work and God’s faithfulness I was able to represent my home state and become a Kentucky wildcat. Truly a dream come true. These past three years have been some of the hardest, yet most rewarding and joyous times of my life. I am thankful for the bad times just as much as the good because it all brought me closer to God. I have met so many amazing people and made memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. While I still have a year of eligibility left, I will not be entering the transfer portal. I will be pursuing my new dream of becoming a physical therapist through UK’s DPT program. Younger me would be crushed that our basketball career is over, but she also wouldn’t believe all of the things we’ve accomplished. I know she is proud🥹 To Big Blue Nation: Thank you. Thank you for your unwavering support and for giving this small town girl the opportunity to live out her wildest dreams. I poured everything I have into this program and you all poured into me just the same. I will forever be grateful for that… and I will always bleed blue. John 13:7"show more

#jingjingyu #JanJingjing oh god snap25 and jan encouraged jingjing... to overcome her fear of singing 😭 🐯: i want to share first regarding singing. actually, p’jan and i had this same dream where we wanted to have a song of our own. we both like this side of the entertainment industry, like idols. i’ve always had this dream of actually wanting to become an idol. p’jan likes this side of stuff too. but something happened that made me feel… start pulling myself away from the microphone completely. i didn’t want to sing anymore. it made me anxious and stressed. so honestly, i am someone who lacks confidence when it comes to singing. i stopped singing for a long time, until i joined GMMTV, where there was an opportunity… 🐯: the management told me i might have an opportunitiy to have a song of my own now. at first, i said, “i don’t dare, i’m scared. i don’t dare to do it. i don’t dare to sing. i’m scared. i don’t want to. i’m not confident.” until i got encouragement from p’jan and snap25, who said, “but isn’t this something you like? if you don’t do it now, then when will you do it?” so i started thinking, “yeah that’s true. if i don’t do it now, when will i have the chance to sing and have my own music video again?” so i chose to overcome my own fear 🐯: these days, if you ask if i feel confident yet, i’m still not fully confident, but i have become much more happier with singing. if you ask the experience of having songs, it feels fun and new right now. and it makes me very happy with what i’ve been able to doshow more

#ลีน่าหมิว #LenaMiu #lalinalena #ลีน่าลลินา 🦋: hey guys I have... something to tell you. On the 14th LenaMiu has an event together. So the rules for coming to see us is, please if you are bringing your partner with you…do you know what I’ll say? 😂 Fan comment: ‘you’re also bringing (someone)’ 🦋: huuuh 🦋: I know what I’ll be encountering because of the recent fanmeet…coming holding hands, being sweet together…oooohhh ooohhhhh (fans in couples). Recently a fan posted that they have been flirted with from the fanmeet. So for anyone who’s coming on the 14th, be prepared that you might meet your soulmate at our event. Go looking your prettiest and go and shine, guys. Seriously. I want to see everyone be in love, because love is so beautiful. I want to see everyone be happy and be in love. I’m happy every time I get to see it, when (people) come in couples. There’s a trend on tt where people are fangirls in the same fandom and ended up being into each other/ having a crush. And I was like…🤭…very ‘hop’. It’s very cute, I really love it. I’ve seen it from so many fandoms…I don’t think there’s any from our fandom. Not yet, but there will be. But I think it’s from the other fandom and I’m like so cute. 🥰 *hop* is a slang term used to describe a feeling of trying to hold in your excitement or being shy, your reaction is held back a bit. This emoji describes the term perfectly 🤭. This term is often used for your shipped couples.show more

👉 Posting this feels incredibly vulnerable as I tend... not to share many personal things online. But I also know that 1 in 2 people will develop cancer at some point in their lifetime and, of those, 1 in 5 will delay for more than three months before contacting a doctor about symptoms. I nearly became one of those people. Like most others with a busy family and work life, I was tempted to wait until I had more time and headspace before seeing a doctor. I was six weeks away from finishing my new book and I didn't know if I had the capacity to deal with both. Since the diagnosis, I am so grateful that I didn’t delay for long. Speed is our secret weapon when it comes to cancer. The sooner we know it’s there, the better our chances of a good outcome. So, for anyone out there who has noticed something and not yet called their doctor, this is your sign to make it happen. I hope this explains my lack of dm replies and videos being posted over the last few months. Its been a rollercoaster. I’m going to share some of my journey on stories for anyone who wants updates. I am incredibly lucky that this has been caught so early. Of course, nothing is certain just yet but a couple of surgeries and I should be out the other side. That is another reason I am stepping outside of my comfort zone to talk about this. Many people go through this and go on to live full, active and healthy lives. So discovering possible symptoms doesn’t have to be a disaster. It can be an opportunity to get ahead in the fight and beat cancer before it has a chance to take over. I absolutely have my head in the game for the treatment plan ahead, ready to get going next week. I also have a giant stack of video ideas just waiting to be made, so I can’t wait to get back up and running ❤️ If you think it could help someone feel free to share this message ❤️show more

📍 WARNER, OK - High School Students Learn How... To Build A House From The Ground Up! A dozen students in a construction class at Warner High School have completed a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, which is now for sale. The school district is accepting sealed bids for the home at 1003 E 5th Avenue in Warner, with a minimum bid of $210,000. The bids will be opened on May 15th. Teacher Ira Jackson returned to the classroom after retiring to teach the hands-on work. “The goal of the program is to produce students who can read a tape measure and understand the basics of carpentry and building, and move on from there,” he said. Several students already have job offers after working alongside licensed trades workers during construction. Ethan Atkerson, a Warner High School senior, said he helped with cabinetry, guttering and lighting, and is certain he’ll pursue a career in construction. “I’ve loved doing every part of this,: he said. “It’s all been enjoyable to me. I like being able to work with my hands, and this is something that I can work with my hands and look at the work and think, I did that, I’m proud of that.” Every high school in America should be doing this!show more

250720 hxw warning busan #우지 #승관 🍑: i also... think that was kind of scary scene in that sense. that’s not my intention when i asked, but honestly, i don’t really want to remember myself from my trainee days. i did so many things that were really opposite to my personality. back then, there were things i didn’t learn well, and even if i didn’t want to act like that, there were moments when the environment just forced me to become that way. i’m not the kind of person who usually tells others what to do like, ‘hey, you should do this or that.’ i’m actually similar to hoshi in that i don’t pay much attention to others. whether they do well or not, i just focus on my own thing. but with the younger members, i have to help them do well, so i had to lead with ‘leadership.’ because of that, i ended up acting much stricter than my actual personality. so there are a lot of things i feel really sorry about. and because of that, i think the question itself might’ve been a burden to the younger members… but then, smart sk said such a nice thing. looking back, i think i was really grateful for that at the time.show more

Life update - I’ve had some nagging hip pain... for a handful of months and after some time off and worsening symptoms, an MRI showed I had a disc problem that needed to be treated. I had a successful microdiscectomy performed yesterday at Hospital for Special Surgery in NY and have already been released from the hospital. I’m so grateful to the doctors and staff there for all their hard work and support. My next few weeks will be a lot of resting before the rehab process begins. I have a great team behind me who I fully trust to get me back to a better place than I was before! Before you ask, I’m not putting any tournament on the calendar or specific time for returning. While I will miss some events in the beginning of 2026, I want to be very smart and patient in letting my disc fully heal so it isn’t an issue again. I’m very lucky that the game of golf allows us to play at a high level for a long time, and that’s what I plan on doing - this procedure will allow me to do that injury free in the future. Can’t wait to see y’all back out there ❤️show more
