Hiphop is beautiful and ugly, good and bad, positive and negative all at once. It is as dynamic as its creators are. Great art disrupts and makes you uncomfortable. Great art is conscious. In spite of the NFL representing a lot about what's wrong with America, Kendrick put that stage to great use.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

Took down the Christmas tree (that never got fully decorated), the Thanksgiving garland, the witch’s broom, and the October birthday pumpkins today. February 1st. Not bad 🤷‍♀️

Me too, Lou. Me too. 🫣
