Loving this book: Dilla Time by Dan Charnas. What a creative way to tell the story of Dilla’s influence on popular music through biography, Detroit colonial history, and ethnomusicology done in a very approachable way. Would highly recommend (still reading but feel confident this will continue).

Last week, Les III, a local artist painted a portrait of me.
He's the artist in residence at Greenhill here in GSO and is practicing doing portraits of folks in two hours. The goal is to try and capture something of the person in that moment, without getting lost in detail.
Here's my portrait:

I am enjoying being in AZ with FWCC this for our first conference with participants in the Quaker Connect program. The program is focused on congregational renewal and is working with 9 meetings from El Salvador, Peru, Jamaica, and the US

I highly recommend Brian Blackmore’s new book, “To Hear and Respond: The Quakers’ Groundbreaking Push for Gay Liberation, 1946-1973.”
His book outlines the process Liberal Friends in the US took to become advocates for Gay Liberation.

I'm not exactly sure who's pulling the levers but my daughter showed me that folks on #instagram are being forced to follow the Felon and Chief, his mob boss wife, and lapdog Vance. Go in and block/unfollow when you have a moment.

I’m not the fastest reader in the world and abandon a lot of books.
I also struggle to find fiction I really like but this year I did pretty good (for me) both in terms of books finished & finding some new authors I really enjoy.

For some reason, my son’s listening habits on his home pod in his room have disturbed my playlist (he listens to bedtime beats throughout the night). Not sure how to fix that?

Are we still sharing things like Apple Replay for the year?
Here are my top 5 listened to albums. The Smile takes up two spots?! I would have added Pedro the Lion’s album from the spring over “Cutouts.”

Photos from this weekend’s “cranksgiving” event with our loc bike shop. Cyclists gathered food for folks in need while also doing a scavenger hunt. It was a blast.

This came in the mail the other day and I’m loving it. It’s been awhile since I played electric guitar and this Origin 20 W is perfect for my needs and my dad’s Paul Reed Smith (which is now) sounds great with it.
