SZA Reveals She Had To Bribe A 'Child' Into Throwing Away His 'Whippet Drugs'
She wrote:
“Literally talked a CHILD into throwing away his whippet drugs in exchange for a picture/video at the in n out drive through. Sad but if I can stop this s**t for even a second imma try."
"Once again, these drugs are clearly marketed to CHILDREN. Really need America to do better man.”

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), nitrous oxide "is increasingly being used as a recreational drug. Prolonged use of nitrous oxide can have disabling neurological sequelae due to functional inactivation of vitamin B12."
The agency adds:
"From a few years after its first synthesis in 1772, nitrous oxide has been used as a drug of misuse, particularly among medical and dental professionals. It has lately gained popularity as a recreational drug, and its use is widespread."
"Its toxic effects are mediated by inactivation of vitamin B12, typically producing a myelopathy, though there have been cases of an isolated lower motor neurone syndrome."
Many appreciated the singer for speaking out.
SZA, who is currently co-headlining a U.S. stadium Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar across major American cities, has previously voiced her concerns about nitrous oxide.
At the time, she questioned why "no one gonna talk about how galaxy gas came out of no where and is being MASS marketed to black children."
The singer criticized the government for "doing NOTHING" and stressed the need to "protect the children" from the detrimental effects of these substances.
Mom Stunned After Job Refuses To Let Her Call Out Of Work To Take Care Of Her Sick Kids
In mom and TikToker @atrustedadult2.0's experience, she had never asked for a day off of work before, and that only changed when both of her children were sick at the same time, and there was no one else to care for them.
She reached out to her workplace two hours prior to the opening of her shift and left a message, explaining what was going on and that they should not expect her to appear at work that day.
Less than thirty minutes before her shift was originally supposed to start, the mom was shocked to receive a voicemail from a woman at the workplace named Gabby.
She had been unable to pick up the phone when Gabby called because she was caring for her kids, but when she played back the message, she was stunned.
The TikToker played the voicemail in her video, and Gabby could be heard saying:
"Hi Jessica, this is Gabby. I know you called earlier about not coming in, but after speaking to Alicia, she would still like you to come in."
"If you could please give me a call..."
Jessica was flabbergasted.
"Like... I said I wasn't coming in. What do you mean you'd still like me to? Yeah, I know you'd like me to! But I said no, so what do I say to that?"

Fellow TikTokers empathized with the working mom and how she was being treated by her workplace.

After some TikTokers expressed hope for an update, Jessica shared one, but possibly not the one they were expecting.
"The update is, I stayed home on Friday, and then I went in on Monday, I quit my job, and then I took my kids and my friend to the zoo."
"Calling out is calling out, and that voicemail was incredibly toxic, and I don't work for toxic places."
"It's not great, I still need a job, but I don't need that job."
While it's understandable that parents need to make accommodations to balance their home life, family life, and work life, everyone has off days and needs outside of the workplace that have to be attended to from time to time.
It should have been easy enough for Jessica's workplace to pull together a last-minute shift arrangement for one day, especially since this was the first time she'd called out of work.
The fact that they couldn't accommodate Jessica missing a shift only served to show a weakness in their managerial structure and planning.
Student Calls Out School For Using ChatGPT To Pen Parts Of Their Yearbook In Viral TikTok
TikTokers who were sentimental about their yearbooks and others who had experience putting a yearbook together were left reeling when fellow TikToker @rtbjj19 showed his yearbook.
All appeared well when he showed a cover full of smiling students, but then he flipped to a page about halfway through.
The page highlighted the Future Farmers of America (FFA) student group on campus, with pictures of the group gathered together and volunteering to clean up their community.
But the text written about the FFA group looked sloppy in comparison to the photos, as it was left-justified, leaving large swatches of white space on the right side of the page, and the passages appeared in different typesetting.
To make matters worse, the student then pointed to the bottom of the FFA group description, which read:
"Feel free to let me know if you need any adjustments or additional information!"
That's right: someone had not only asked ChatGPT to write about the Future Farmers of America group on their school campus, but they also did not proofread the body of text, including not removing ChatGPT's prompt at the end, which immediately clued everyone in on the nature of the text.
You can watch the video here:
Some were deeply offended by the fact that the yearbook staff had not even proofread the text they'd borrowed.

Others who had been involved in their school's yearbook team were offended that the drafting process had come to this.

It's disheartening to realize the speed at which some people are viewing ChatGPT and other AI-generation tools as the default options for getting tasks done.
Between being a fairly large group of students and seeing that they were involved in their community, there was surely much that could be said about the Future Farmers of America student group, and it should have been fairly simple to write.
Not to mention the fact that the yearbook is meant to be a sentimental artifact from the school year, with time and care put into it, by students and for students.
That's not something that AI should be trying to replace, even for a quick passage.
