Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

I love being a Mary Poppins ass bitch. The feeling I get when I have the random, obscure thing that someone needs at any given moment probably adds days to my lifespan.

It’s hard to put into words what it means to lose D’Angelo. Not just the man, but the sound, the feeling, the very essence of soul that he embodied.

Forcing generations after generations to read the Odyssey the Iliad 💔 of darkness huckleberry finn etc is a way of inculcating patriarchy and white inferiority into impressionable minds; brainwashing disguised as education under the name of “cannon” / “classic”

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

I am so mad because like people love the idea of the Frog being shit posting , but it's actual a deeply contextual response

Meanwhile actual shitposting is about forcing interactions and stringing people along in pointless interactions to deny resources for others

and Zuckerberg knows this
