An important aspect of advocating for yourself in medical spaces is having the script to do so. Knowing what to say and where to go next. Including having intimate knowledge of your health insurance or options if you are under/uninsured.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.”

“D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

Raphael Saadiq lost his brother earlier this year. He loved and worked with Angie and D’Angelo. Prayers for his care and comfort, alone with all who knew his musical family. Goodness.

Always wanted to get a real Jazzmaster, but shoutout to Xavier custom guitars. Been my favorite guitar ever since.

After checking my email, I see that I ordered this guitar 12 years ago on this day.

I remember the collective cultural exhale when D’Angelo resurfaced with “Black Messiah” and the album ended up being as good as the title announced it would be

Mind you, people on the Asian continent been doing it since FOREVER, and they have way more people in GENERAL...way fewer whites, though. Funny, that.

I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous.
