I'm posting this as a tribute to my beloved partner and best friend Garey (decd), a Black, gay NYer who died from a heart attack in 2014.
He cared about his community and people who were vulnerable.

Macklemore made a surprise appearance at the Power to the People Festival via a pre-recorded video message:
"Power to the People means exactly that: real change always comes from people organizing, resisting, and refusing to accept the world as it is...
"I believe resistance means seeing ourselves in all oppressed peoples, as brothers and sisters in a global community, and using our collective power to end these atrocities. History has shown that those in power rarely hand over freedom willingly.
"Liberation has always required us to organize and demand it. None of us are free until all of us are free."
STEPS BEFORE GETTING A RAPE KIT:
1. avoid cleaning things up. Showering, brushing teeth, combing hair can remove DNA of the perpetrator.
2. Take pictures of everything: injuries, the room, everything that could be used as evidence.
3. try not to use the restroom; urine can have traces of potential drugs. If you have to, keep it in a dark container (away from sunlight) before you go to the hospital.
4. If you are changing your clothes, keep them in a paper/fabric bag (NOT PLASTIC) and away from sunlight.
5. You may refuse any part of the testing at any point. It is a time-consuming, invasive process.
6. Bring someone with you, you should not have to go through it alone.
💔 12 YEARS BEFORE THE CORNELL 7, A MATTRESS BECAME A NATIONAL SYMBOL OF CAMPUS SEXUAL ASSAULT
In 2014, Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz started hauling a 50-pound dorm mattress everywhere she went on campus.
There was a reason.
Two years earlier, Sulkowicz had accused fellow Columbia student Paul Nungesser of sexually assaulting her in her dorm room. He denied the allegation, and Columbia’s disciplinary process ultimately found him not responsible.
Sulkowicz turned what happened afterward into her senior art thesis, Mattress Performance (Carry That Weight). She would carry the mattress around Columbia as long as she and Nungesser remained students there. She couldn’t ask anyone to help, but she could accept help when it was offered.
People offered.
For months, students helped her haul that damn mattress across campus, into buildings and between classes.
Then graduation arrived.
Nungesser was still a Columbia student, so Sulkowicz brought the mattress with her.
On May 19, 2015, she crossed the graduation stage carrying it with the help of other students. The photograph became one of the defining images of a much larger national fight over campus sexual assault and what universities actually do when one student accuses another.
More than a decade later, I’m looking at what’s unfolding at Cornell and thinking about that mattress again.
Jane Doe has alleged in a civil lawsuit that seven members of Cornell’s Chi Phi fraternity sexually assaulted her after she became heavily intoxicated and incapacitated in October 2024. Those allegations have not been adjudicated, and the men have denied wrongdoing. The criminal investigation has since been reopened, and Cornell has agreed to an independent review of its handling of the case.
I’m not suggesting these cases are identical. They aren’t.
What I can’t get past is how recognizable the larger conversation still is.
We spent years debating whether universities were equipped, willing and sufficiently independent to investigate allegations of sexual violence involving their own students. We changed policies. We fought over Title IX. We held hearings. We plastered that mattress across newspapers and television screens as a symbol of a system people were demanding we examine.
And here we are.
Another Ivy League campus. Another woman saying she was sexually assaulted. Another institutional response under scrutiny. Another public argument about intoxication, consent, credibility and what the university did after it was told.
Twelve years ago, Emma Sulkowicz made people look at a mattress because she wanted them to understand what it felt like to carry something she believed her university had failed to resolve.
Maybe the most damning part of seeing that image again isn’t how much has changed since then.
It’s how little explaining the mattress still requires
You know people don’t like to admit this but older cartoons they grew up with were woke and discussed social issues like this and were very on the nose about it
Rihanna on why she still doesn’t want to legally marry A$AP Rocky:
“My future is already here. What more future am I looking for when I have three children with a man I can’t imagine spending a day without?
I’ve been in relationships with over nine men, and I’ve learned that love and respect matter more than a ring. I’ve seen marriages fall apart, and I refuse to destroy something beautiful just to satisfy society’s definition of commitment.”
One year after her passing, we remember Jane Goodall for the curiosity that transformed our understanding of chimpanzees, the compassion that challenged how we see our place in nature, and the belief in the power of hope that inspired generations to imagine a better future.
The nights are getting longer. The pumpkins are ripe. And the dead know what time it is.
Hello, October.

Big Mama Thornton performing "Hound Dog". She released the song first in 1953 before Elvis Presley (1956), his biggest worldwide rock and roll hit record.
Thornton was a blues singer who helped shape the sound of Rock&Roll. She released the song “Hound Dog” in 1953 and it sold two million records and went #1 on the R&B charts.
Unfortunately Thornton only received about $500 from those profits.
