Pancreatic cancer is one of those cancers that rarely gives you even a fighting chance, let's not argue about that today.

Some of their staples are also affordably priced. It’s the parking situation I can’t stand. 😭😭😭

Trader Joe’s is working overtime tryna turn me into a basic white bish named Kayleigh who wears UGG boots to the apple orchard.

THe way this pumpkin brioche twist bread is so disgustingly delicious. I’m so furious… as I finish the loaf.

Couldn’t hate it more.

Right. Going to the doctor does not keep you from having cancer. And some cancers just really don’t have symptoms until it’s too late.

That's exactly why I said the conversation has to be broader ... it ain't always folks not going to the doctor or not being on top of their health.

To add to misinformation playing a role, patriarchy has something to do with it. Many men don’t want to feel “weak,” and they can just shrug the pain off.

Things are bad but you know, if u get that type of cancer you likely did nothing wrong, there are just a lot of things in the world we need to un-do

Normally people who get compared to iconic artists of the past aren't mentioned in the same breath as them when they die. Imagine working with the very clearly, colossally famous and talented influences D'Angelo did (Prince, Sly Stone!) and then very securely standing alongside them. It's just wild!

An hour and 11-minute long mix of nothing but D'Angelo live tracks from various shows during the Brown Sugar and Voodoo eras. It's so well done. Also downloadable.

All the love you’re seeing for D’Angelo is what happens when you leave the world in a better place than how you found it.

He and his art will be missed.

If you didn’t get to see D’Angelo during his Voodoo run, here is an audio recording from his show in LA. 2 hours of musical heaven.

It just occurred to me that. . . Michael Jackson died at 51, too

I was in my 20s when he passed and now. . . just 16 years later, I have a completely different perspective on what it means to be 51 years old

I think the most. . . boiled down thought I've ever had about death came to me at 8 yrs old when I found out my cousin died.

At 8, all I could think was "I thought I would see her again."

And, I realize. . . that's really the whole thing.
33 years later, I'm sad that I really never saw her again
