Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it Dozens of New Orleanians were bused to a site with insufficient heating and blankets days before the city is to host the Super Bowl

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.

The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Be there or be square

If you are a yt person over 50, and you’re about to give your negative opinion of the halftime show, THINK:

[T]hings don’t have to be “for you” to be good art.

[H]eck, Kendrick has a Pulitzer and

[I] don’t think you do so maybe you are

[N]ot qualified to speak on the caliber of his art

[K]?

that’s right.

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it!

My fam knew what that meant.

THEY don’t want us here, but they do not own the flag. “Not Like Us”

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

Doechii, SZA, Beyonce

God I love Black women
Love being in good company

Genres are a funny little concept aren’t they? Yes, they are. 😏

Sunset on Whitley Bay beach in the UK.

The sun bows low in crimson grace, kissing waves in soft embrace. Shadows dance on golden shore, whispering tales of days before. The ocean hums a lullaby, as stars awaken in the sky. Night arrives on painted seas, carried home by the twilight’s breeze.

let’s take this a step further and make sure that people who treat anyone like a second class aren’t in your “polite company”

otherwise you’ll always be at risk

Story about Claudette Colvin in Oprah Daily

Before Rosa Parks, there was Claudette Colvin. At just 15, she stood up to injustice by staying seated. Her courage helped pave the way for the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Let's honor this teenage trailblazer who proved you're never too young to fight for what's right.

A few things Trump just made more expensive for you:

Xboxes
Avocados
Strawberries
Furniture
Power tools
Modelo

anyone else feeling a total
acceptance and (weirdly) welcoming their death or am I alone in this?

Actual Trump voters DO NOT CARE about “bread and butter issues.”

They have a parasocial relationship with Trump. He’s angry, they’re angry, and it makes them feel seen.

It’s part of the reason Ds’ messaging is NOT resonating with them.

GET MAD about fascism and FIGHT, goddamnit!

yyyyyeah maybe we shouldn’t just “relax”
