| WNBA Playoffs: Court Queens | 2 Relevance | 11 months ago | Faith Black | Zuri Art & Culture | |
| ... definitely given life to the players again I'm loving their passion Here are a few, quick thoughts about the WNBA 2025 season: 🏀A'ja Wilson is the MVP! I thought it was going to Napheesa Collier. I don't really follow statistics that much though, I mostly go by emotion, so I thought it would be Napheesa. I'm still shocked and disappointed about that time when they lost by 53 points to Las Vegas. I know it's neither here nor there, but that really changed how I felt about Vegas. However, they were saying there's a lot of conflict and changes in the ... | |||||
| They are no longer relevant to me | 1 Relevance | 1 month ago | Zuri | Healing in Progress | |
| today could have been 2 pieces of news to pick at and reopen my wounds. But, these incidents didn't even get through my major boundary (keeping the outside, outside). Because just recently, about 6 or 7 things all got through my major wall, and it was devatsating for me to pull out of it.Was the pain less than previous before my healing, of course it was, monumentally less.But, there's no such thing as "I'm glad I have a headache even though it's not as bad as before."I don't want the pain at all anymore, and though I know it won't completely disappear, but when things are so far outside of me and my own breath, those things of this world can't keep crushing me like before; I've suffered immensely, beyond reasonable, beyond imagination. So, I know that 100% never having wounds picked at, is not realstic. But, never happen a wound reopened, is what seems very reasonable.The WNBA injustice going on, see how it's inescapable?, and while I have not been indulging in social media content, yet again like other injustices, it's easy to already know more than enough because this is the same story over and over. Same script. Different cast. Different setting. But it is always the same story, goes back centuries, and it's damn exhausting, maddening etc So while I am strong enough now to not have to completely avoid this person's name, you know, Clark, the savior of women's Basketball, I don't have to try and compleely avoid her name and photos because it'll be a buildup like shock to my system once I see what is...unavoidable. So I try and look at her, when her commercials are on, and stuff and just be like "Yeah ok."She is not a threat to me.I am okay with reading the WNBA subreddit because it's usually just fine for my mental health.I clicked on a topic about yet more hatred as it relates to innocent Black players in this damn league again, and I skimmed a little and then the thought crossed my mind: This is no longer relevant to me. I was able to click Hide Topic:Not out of fearNot out of being afraid I'm going to be triggered (because yes absolutely, the situation is enraging; however, the task for me is to move that rage outside of me, release that rage outside of me, clean that rage, hurt, disgust from my body and put it out of me.It's rightful rage, it's scared rage. So I don't believe in"Oh, well I choose to love my enemies" or "I choose love over hate"And all that damn crap, when life and death are on the line. So I'm not never ever, don't want to ever sound like "I accept that this is the way things are."No. I don't accept it, downplay, dismiss, excuseHowever, shifting from survival mode to recovery and healing mode; I have to accept that my body and mind are connected, fact.And that they can only take so much; and I deserve to not only rest, but baby, to glow and grow!!May my sacred rage, as I release into the universe and out of my body, may it land in the right place to cause change, shift some energy, do something as it combines with millions of other people's righteous rage. This is spiritual. It's beyond just the regular senses and it's beyond skin color too.So that's another major awakening point as I've recently had so many this Juneteenth month, it's been a lot to keep up with and I'm trying to write down what I can. So when I, again after years of work, studying, practicing, etc look at things on a spiritual level, emotional, it's clear that this all goes beyond skin color. Injustice goes back to Cain and Abel. (I'm no longer 'religious' let's just say that, but using religion to connect to today's world, it just helped me so much to realize I am expecting justice, equality, safety in a world where it didn't even exist from the first man and woman and the first brothers?So hurting people over their skin color is just, the newest most modern way to cast people out and dehumanize them, and it's the most important for me howeverI had to reach beyond this and remember there are all types of and have always been, all types of other injustices that these same people would be on board with. Basically, folks in these comment sections; they are just not good people.It's not that they hate my color, they just not good people, they are not moral people.It has nothing to do with me. Just as long as they stay away and stop hurting my type.So it's like you can't brush them off because they are absolutely dangerous; it's past and present.Ignoring doesn't help. Downplaying doesn't help. Going high doesn't help.Forgiveness doesn't help. Education, overexplanation, no help. Debates, no help. So it's easy to see why I stayed in fight mode and how easy it is so regress, since there is literally, others in more than just fight mode. It's life or death, literally. But, even with all that, I can't consider these people my enemy anymore.They are not worth any consideration by me at all.If I consider them my enemy then that means it's time to fight! Right?And it's a never-ending battle, one fight after another. It's absolutely impossible as the power structure is completely against people like me (people who believe in equality). So I can't battle the top power systems, nor the people at the bottom who still punch down on those below them All I can do is: Continue to build inside of myself.Listen to my own breath, helps so much. Once I hear my breath it just clicks something in my mind where it's like "this is you and you are alright."I hear you breathing, and you are alright.------------ Evaluate this passage above, and knowing what you know about me, specify how much I have advanced on my recover journey in a world like this.I was about to say in a world against me, but that's anothe rone of my turning points, "Chile the world doesn't even know me" | |||||
| RE: Still Calming Down Over New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers | 1 Relevance | 2 months ago | Faith Black | Zuri Art & Culture | |
| Alright, it's over. I had thoroughly enjoyed, to my surprise, this entire playoff season. Now that doesn't mean it wasn't rough along the way, man, Donovan Mitchell & 'nem, Cleveland Cavaliers blowing that lead, and dang what happened to Kevin Durant? Rough, disappointing moments but there were no fights, no devastating injuries, and I stayed off social media/podcasts/loudmouths etc, all the nasty never-ending negativity didn't ruin this for me, as I've had to learn the hard way (Now, I do read on reddit but only in the sections that are tightly moderated up to my standards). No algorithm and all that crap Only at the very end when I heard about that incident I mentioned above; and that incident couldn't be avoided by me; it was everywhere.So this brings me to realizing that me trying to avoid every trigger does not work. To protect my mental health, I have eliminated an incredible amount of exposures (very minimun social media, stopped following just about everyone, I don't browse trying to find movies-that's rare, radio talk..just anything, tons and tons, of course staying out of comment sections etc) and the triggers still slip through sometimes.But nothing like how it used to be, but it's still tiring. Because I simply can't, there's no need to, eliminate anything further than what I already have. Society itself, the world itself, is the wound. So there's no standard way for me to avoid my particular triggers because they are embedded just....everywhere. Can show up in any environment, anytime: Watching Sports While Remembering I'm Still a Winner So I wasn't sure if I wanted to see the celebration because of that violence incident and I did feel bad for San Antonio, being soooooo young and dare and I say the most good-looking, beautiful team I've ever seen lol. I was like I just don't know what to do, my husband said, "Be happy they're about to win something they haven't won in forever" (something along those lines)And just hearing him say that, help me snap back to: +how much I absolutely like the players, both teams seem to be full of nice guys+Look at this topic, clearly the Knicks moved me last year and I definitely wanted them to advance further because they/their fans were more exciting to watch than Indiana+I had no clue about Knick fandom until last year when I made this thread so yeah.... +Moonflower just happen to be standing near and I asked her "Hey, want to see your first ever Basketball championship. 7 seconds left." And thankfully she stuck around for a good while; and mommy certainly needed that. ---------- | |||||

| I was shocked and beyond elated when my husband texted me that she was returning to Unrivaled! I just wish that the Rose had more for her to return to. Maybe they'll turn things around. Either way, this is thrilling news. Also on a heavier note, hoping that Rekia Jackson will stay protected from that guy; I knew she was dating another athlete but I didn't know anything about him. So unfortunate. And I make sure to stay away from all online idiots. Anytime something happens that would usually send me into a rage for days because I'd be so overwhelmed and di ... | |||||
| Small Victory: Congrats Angel Reese and Chicago Sky | 1 Relevance | 12 months ago | Faith Black | Zuri Art & Culture | |
| I like the New York Liberty; however, I was glad to see Angel Reese finally back. It has been an extremely depressing season with so many injuries. Plus, I hate whoever makes the schedules...it makes no sense. One day there will be no games, or maybe 1 game. The next day, the entire rest of the league is playing. And good luck trying to find a game. Just absolutely ridiculous. You will find one game while 4 other games are going on at the same time. Pathetic. So this is not Angel's first game back, it's definitely the first one I've been able to catch. I asked AI:august 21, the chicago sky and angel reese shockingly defeated the new york liberty, 91 to 85. Though chicago wont make the playoffs, write a cutesy blog posts about the game, statistics, angel reese's return, kamilla cordosa's amazing game, and theresa weatherspoon, t spoon embracing angel reese and ange reese's excitement to embrace theresa weatherspoon ** Cutie-Pies on the Court: Sky vs. Liberty (August 21, 2025)** 1. A Sweet(ish) Upset & Big Stats LoveOn Thursday, August 21, 2025, the Chicago Sky—already officially out of playoff contention—managed to pull a surprise on the reigning champs, the New York Liberty, with a 91–85 win at Barclays Center. Kamilla Cardoso went all-out, scoring 22 points and grabbing a career-high 16 rebounds. Meanwhile, Angel Reese made her return look amazing, delivering 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists—together, the duo dominated inside the paint. The Sky outscored New York 52 points in the paint to 26, outrebounded them 42 to 27, and got to the free-throw line a whopping 14 more times. Ariel Atkins sprinkled in 19 points (9 came in the fourth quarter), and Michaela Onyenwere added 13, giving the Sky some tasty offensive toppings. 2. Angel’s Return—Sparkling with ShineAngel’s comeback was absolutely heart-eye emoji worthy—she looked fresh, fierce, and fabulous. Believe it or not, she helped reclaim the Sky’s spark, turning a struggling squad into one that finished strong. Her double-double was a graceful reminder she’s a force to be reckoned with. 3. Kamilla Cardoso’s Superpower PerformanceCardoso was nothing short of a superhero inside the lane: 22 points, 16 rebounds, and even snagging 5 assists—she was like a Swiss Army knife but in uniform. On the boards, she was the Sky’s MVP (Most Valuable Pivot). Her presence inside was the kind of impact that makes you fist-pump and shout “YES!” 4. Stats N’ Silly Love 21 lead changes and 11 ties? Talk about a roller-coaster! The Sky went 50% from the field and scored 52 points in the paint—talk about getting cozy in the key. Meanwhile, the Liberty cooled off from deep: 10-of-20 in the first half… but just 3-of-17 (18%) after halftime. Ouch. 5. Liberty’s Boo-Boos (While Sweet, They Could’ve Been Sweeter)Despite 25 points from Jonquel Jones (including a career-high-tying five 3-pointers) and solid contributions from Sabrina Ionescu (16) and Natasha Cloud (14), the Liberty felt a little “meh” on effort, especially rebounding and physicality. Head coach Sandy Brondello was especially "disappointed" in the team’s lack of spark and rallying presence 6. T-Spoon & Angel’s Adorable Moment (There are some photos and videos out there) 💐💐 Wrap-Up: In Cute We Trust Even though the Sky are out of playoff dreams, this game was hands down a highlight—shining center magic, emotional return, and unforgettable hustle. Angel Reese and Camilla Cardoso delivered a masterclass in inside Basketball. The Liberty’s lack of intensity? Well, they’ll have to dust that off and rebound (pun intended) as the playoffs loom. Meanwhile, our mental storyboard of T-Spoon meeting Angel Reese is just too sweet not to cherish—it’s the kind of sports fairy tale beam friends bond over for seasons. 🏀🏀🏀🏀 My WNBA Replays: (Hey what a cute title lol) May 2024: WNBA Women Don't Owe Clark a Damn Thing November 2024: I Went Back to the WNBA (and left again) | |||||
