Very well done: world history from west to east and from 4000 BCE to 2000 AD. Interesting!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

This brought me so much joy

I know a “I wanna fuck the grief outta you” hug when I see one.

Anti-blackness at work!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Smone on insta compared D’Angelo to the Sammie character from Sinners, and it’s been on my mind all week 🎯

Just realized Roy Hargrove played the trumpet on D’Angelo’s Voodoo album. Still grieving the loss of such great talent… lemme go to the bush & weep😭 RIP

GQ Profile Of D'Angelo Explores The Perils Of Being Sexy Visit the post for more.

D'Angelo speaking out about the physical and emotional burden of maintaining a nearly unobtainable physique and sexy image as a Black male artist should be taught in labor studies. It absolutely impacted how I analyze pop culture.

"D’Angelo also chafed at the description of his music as simply neo-soul. “I never claimed I do neo-soul,” he said in a Red Bull Music Academy interview in 2014. “When I first came out, I used to always say: ‘I do Black music. I make Black music.’”

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah. It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.” “D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Gagged him.

I know he mad. 😆

None of us can do everything but each of us can do SOMETHING.

america is such a young country.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

I truly want every Black woman to receive the love they always pour into others.

I’m deeply worried this fall/winter will bring one of the toughest respiratory virus seasons in years. Policy missteps, weakened access to vaccines, and rampant misinformation are setting us up for packed hospitals and preventable deaths. We are priming ourselves for failure.

PLEASE stay safe, DC!!
