I will never shut about #PopeJoan / Pope Yohannes. How iconic to be the only pope to have given birth - on a horse no less - resulting in the Vatican fondling men’s nuts for the next few centuries to make sure it would never happen again. Such a baddie.

The Met Gala + Sinners this week reminded me of pride and looking good in your “Sunday best”in good times and bad. Reminded that after many ends of many of our worlds, when the world is burning, if there’s one thing black people will always do is have space for grace and time to look FLY as fuck

Finally went to see #Sinners and all i wanted to do when i got home was cradle and play my guitar… I wanted to honour ancestors who passed on their love through my talents. To this day, I don’t know anyone in my family who can sing… That scene with folk in a mascarade with their ancestry? Beauty.

worked on this song during Covid. Ben dared to ask “what if i ever lost Sonya” and since I adore these two, i exactly knew what it would feel like for Ben. The rest of his EP “Treasures” is out this Friday April 11th on @brassland . Go pre order / order / listen / Ok now back to my cave…

J’ai adoré Fanon. C’est visuellement exquis. Émotionnellement, on quitte le cinéma ciselé, étripé par les atrocités vécues. Les comédien.ne.s sont attachants et excellents comme s’ils bougeaient avec la bande son de jazz de l’époque clouée à leurs oreilles. Un chef d’œuvre a très petit budget.

My take of the day is based on what Mia Mingus wrote in the“Disability/Intimacy” essay compilation book.

If hope, or even faith, is blind, then goddamn it, hope is a crip queen. I bow to hope. Cause it’s really keeping me trucking despite many downfalls and many endings. Hope is an immortal crip.

That’s it tho.
Do it. Do it in public. Do it for all of us to see. Let’s finally call a duck a duck

Watching high on the hog. And I have to pause and write down things people say like Brother Twitty: “We named our food soul food. We are the only people who named our food after something invisible that you could feel like love or God…”

Outfit from show no. 10 / 18 in Saint Jerome. I can’t believe we have so many shows done and yet so many shows to go…
