That’s right NO. MORE. BONKS. In 2024 none of us are getting concussions you hear me? Say it louder for the back row. 2024 is the year of maintaining balance while walking. 2024 is the year of watching for tripping hazards. In 2024 we are not rushing or running for anything if there’s a chance we can trip. In 2024 we are not sitting on tables or anything else that is not a solid stable chair. We are wearing our helmets when we ride our bikes and we are wearing our seatbelts in cars. If we fall, we are dropping everything and anything we are holding in order to use our arms to catch ourselves. It’s twenty twenty no-more-bonks.

Protect your heads girlies!!!! A girls’ girl never lets a friend risk a head injury. A girls’ girl knows that all brain injuries have lasting consequences and neurodivergence correlates with higher risk of complications and lasting consequences. A girls’ girl makes sure everyone sees that wet floor sign and watches out for black ice and icy steps. A girls’ girl isn’t afraid to look silly doing that hunched over penguin walk to avoid slipping and falling in winter.

2023 was our bonked up era. 2024 we are moving on from that. This is the post-bonk era

That is the vibe of 2024 that is the theme the energy the spirit the spell we are all casting together. NO. MORE. BONKS
