I didn't realise how much Amerie sounded like Mary J. Blige until I watched her Tiny Desk. Similar inflections and all. But more soprano.

Reggae is considered Jamaican genre, although it is performed globally. It was developed in a Jamaican cultural context and is tied to their national identity.
Soca is a Trinidadian genre created by a Trinidadian in Trinidad for Trinidadians. Others have added to it but the music is Trinidadian.

Just like people from the south don’t center NY when it comes to Hip Hop, I don’t center Trinidad when it comes to Soca.

Got these in the Savannah Market. The vendor said they’re called Mataboro. I’d never seen them before but I was told native to 🇹🇹
I found them a tad too sweet for me. Do you know them?

Is there a university course on Mariah Carey?
I think a study of her life and career as a case study of race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality in American culture through the late 20th into the 21st century would be great.
Mariah sits on a very unique intersection that hasn't been fully explored.

The challenge with how black music and culture is discussed in America that it often omits or ignores blackness outside of America or from non-African American communities.
It also ignores the contributions of other groups of black people to African American cultural spaces (hip-hop, for example).

At first I thought the Red Wedding comparison was a bit much but the analogy really came together as the article unfolded.
I particularly enjoyed the perspective on labour and its connection to party politics in the existing dominant duopoly! 🇹🇹

My T&T 🇹🇹 election recap, “Red Wedding,” is up @CaribbeanClash. I reflect on the Dragon Gas fiasco, disaffected workers, and organized labor’s failure to chart an independent course beyond the two-party duopoly and the old politics of racial chauvinism. medium.com/clash-voices...

I have so many words muted on this app that the timeline is QUIET 😅
It also shows me that I need to follow more people who talk about things I enjoy.
Because clearly most of the folks I currently follow don't. And that's no shade.

I heard the rumours of the Barbra Streisand/Mariah Carey/Ariana Grande collab back in February.
But what I do feel even more curious about is the fact that Walter Afanasieff might be a producer on the album.
If he worked on the song, it would be his first new track with Mariah since 1997.

Rediscover En Vogue’s ‘EV3’ (1997) | Tribute
Downsized from the original quartet to a trio in 1997, En Vogue presented their mature and aptly-retitled third studio affair—a scrappy, sharpened Swiss army knife of R&B, pop, and funk.

Many historical sites and important buildings in Trinidad and Tobago are neglected and falling apart.
There's been good work by the most recent government but much more is needed.

Does anybody here use Affinity Photo?
I've been facing a challenge in an edit and just can't seem to find a way to resolve it:
Exporting PNG selections keeps leaving traces of the background, no matter how much I refine or adjust the selection.

When the bird app was taken over by EM, people ran to Threads and Spill.
Then, they went back.
When the election results were announced, they came to BlueSky.
Now, they've gone back again.
Why? I think they aren't willing to do the work required for change. They don't want to sacrifice.
