Last night I saw @capaciousmood & eagerly told them about how their book was on my nightstand, how I enjoy reading it in tandem with some other books, etc — I didn’t realize this piece about my nightstand books would drop today, but here is Real Proof!

Featured story, by @capaciousmood: Pan-African activist Audley “Queen Mother” Moore's life has been boiled down to a few dramatic photos and footnotes. Now a UT-Austin historian brings us the full story of this vital political theorist. https://t.co/4aU30A6paN

@dancingofpens I had the exact same reaction & it really took me out of the moment. I felt a bit more sympathetic towards it when I learned it was something he borrowed from Maya Rudolph's childhood (when those resources were less available) bc now... google is free

My favorite D’Angelo anecdote is that he was so obsessed with Red Dead Redemption that he not only wrote a song for RDR2 but playtested it constantly and all the time

public service announcement:

junglepussy has been making music under the name “junglepussy” for over a decade. she’s playing her own rap persona in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. “this pussy don’t pop for you” is something she’s been saying for years. PTA didn’t write that!

[the morally corrupt juan barquin @woahitsjuanito]

Cool to see GQ editor Will Welch get styled by Andre 3000. This style is called a pagoda shoulder (or "spalla insellata" in Italy bc of its resemblance to a horse saddle). It's the hardest style to make bc of the amount of work that goes into shaping the canvas.
