July 2, 2020 The above post is from former WKND Skateboards pro Johan Stuckey. On June 30, the Instagram account @Emilylameland posted the entry below, accusing Stuckey of sexual assault as well as knowingly passing an STD to her. Stuckey and WKND had previously joked in a “roast” video about the incident. This is really hard for me to post but i think now is as good of time as any to share what Johan Stuckey did to me.

Heads up, this essay is a little longer than normal. I wanted to dig into the subculture side of skater fashion and do skaters justice. So grab a cup of tea, coffee, or tequila, and sit back and relax. Because it's 5 o’clock somewhere, right? Skateboarding has gone from backyard pastime to big business, embodying an adrenaline-fueled world full of challenges, thrills, and vibes. And the fashion industry wasted no time sinking its claws into this cultural juggernaut.

NEW STANDARD DISCLAIMER: This newsletter aggressively spoils things. If you’ve seen references to something called Skidibi Toilets recently and you were too afraid to click on the links to find out, I don’t blame you. Here is what they’re talking about: Yes, that’s the first episode in one of the most popular video series on Youtube, and yes, it features a head in a toilet singing a surprisingly catchy song. As you might guess from watching this, these videos are incredibly popular among children under the age of ten, an audience not burdened by taste or the knowledge of Gary’s Mod or the video game Half Life, and who overwhelmingly find anything with a toilet to be hilariously entertaining.

When I feel hopeless—sorry, when I feel paralyzed by gratitude—I crack open The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo and try to change my whole life. It doesn’t bother me that Marie Kondo’s philosophy of using what you already have to organize your belongings—shoeboxes, she says—is completely incompatible with her line at The Container Store. I love her, and I want her to get her bag, or her box, or whatever, and I love The Container Store.

CW: This newsletter discusses rape, incest and child sex abuse. You know me: I do not shy away from difficult topics. So today, I want to dig into the controversy over sleepovers and overnight camps. I learned recently that many parents are staunchly against letting their kids sleep away from home because of the potential sex abuse risks, and I get it: There’s nothing scarier than the idea of your child being sexually assaulted.

“Molly's posts are a timely reminder to slow down, even if just for a few moments; her gentle approach makes me feel as if I'm joining her on her daily walks, or sitting quietly, reading alongside her, lit by flickering candles... The overwhelm, the busyness always dissipates after reading...magical!” ncG1vNJzZmigmaW9urTIoJ%2BlmZ6ZuarCyKeeZ6ull8C1rcKkZZynnWQ%3D

After a quiet couple of weeks in the transfer portal, Georgetown finally appeased an increasingly anxious fanbase this week, adding Jordan Burks, a 6-foot-9 wing who spent his freshman year at Kentucky. The move puts Georgetown at 10 scholarship players on its roster for 2024-25, meaning the Blue & Gray have three spots left to fill. One of those spots will almost certainly go to a center. The Hoyas have struck out on several center targets already this offseason, most notably former Rutgers center Cliff Omoruyi, who wound up choosing Alabama over Georgetown, UNC, and Kansas State.
