please, please, please stop writing you "gave voice" to xyz marginalized group. No you didn't, and you didn't "make space" either, you just started listening. that's what you did, sit down. be humble. listen better. listen quieter.

“What I knew that my critical elders didn’t…was that hip-hop mattered from the get-go. That once again, the African American working class…had created another vernacular, improvisational form of addressing their condition and the condition of the world.”

BREAKING: The Ford government is changing Ontario's Freedom Of Information act system, effectively gutting a tool journalists use to obtain documents related to government decision-making:

- The Premier, Ministers and their offices will all be excluded from the FOI system.
- This applies to all existing requests
- Only civil servants can be FOI'd
- The government is extending the response timeline from 30 calendar days to 45 business days.

Today is D'Angelo's b-day. 🕊️ Let's celebrate by watching these two dudes simultaneously nerd out over and get lost in the last couple of minutes of "How Does It Feel." This is what good music does.
