Right now, in my feed, I see that a lot of people have learned nothing about their internalized misogynoir since last fall.

Did you know that you can say you don’t want Kamala Harris to run for president again and still put some respect on her name?

This feels like losing Prince.
"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.’”

At this point, Shonda Rhimes should sue to protect her intellectual property. Because this Temu version of Scandal is not it.

Has someone already added the CYE theme song to this?

The first track on #letgodsortemout is beautiful. Grieving on a track with your brother is about as vulnerable as it gets.

Gene and Terrence open this album by honoring their parents, but then Malice and Push take it over and tear shit apart. That’s beautiful too.

They drained the pool then. Now they are draining the data.

The Trump administration eliminated the CDC’s drowning prevention team. Black & brown children will pay the price.

My latest Star Tribune column explains why this matters & what must happen next:

Opinion: Trump's dismantling of drowning prevention team holds painful echoes for Black Americans
"There’s a reason why generations of Black families have passed down warnings about water," attorney Haley Taylor Schlitz writes. "That fear isn’t superstition; it’s survival."

The cuts to Indiana higher ed programs feel like the natural outcome of devaluing the humanities.

Is there an org like @karenattiah.bsky.social’s resistance summer school, but for liberal arts and humanities? There have to be other recovering academics who see how dangerous this is.

“As” by Stevie—makes me well up every time I hear it. It’s the crown jewel track on a majestic album.
All month we’ve celebrated different themes, elements, and aspects of Black music.Today is a little more simple: the song you love in and out, top to bottom.

For the *final day* of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share your idea of the perfect song.
