After securing an important playoff win, San Antonio Spurs player Victor Wembanyama (@wemby ) got emotional and embraced his teammates on the bench. When asked about his reaction, he didn’t try to erase what happened. Instead, he let us know that there is real strength in caring.
It’s not all about who’s the fastest or who can lift the most — there’s a lot of power in openly expressing joy and emotion. Win or lose. 💪

Making the jump from in-app convos to meeting IRL isn’t always easy. Here are our tips for staying safe when meeting up with your match:
📍Choose a location where you feel safe. It can’t hurt to tell your friends where you are going, just in case.
🚩If someone is pressuring you, that may be a red flag.
🚨 Trust your gut if things become uncomfortable. Establish a codeword with a friend and have them fake an emergency.
🔮 Manifesting your next date is full of green flags! ✅
Attention organizers! 🚨
As the semester comes to a close, it’s important that you complete our end-of-semester checklist before you sign off for summer break! ✅
