Prince passed away on this day 10 years ago.

In an interview from 1997, he discussed his philosophy for life and why music is the "best medicine."

"Ego is one thing and money is one thing, but reverence for life and service to others is the key to getting off this planet.

"Whenever we get too tied down to anything on Earth—be it a name, a body, a lifestyle—that's the road to ruin. When you get too worried about the human body and this lifetime, and you put too much effort in it in a negative sense, like fighting someone... it just keeps you from your goal. So I don't bother.

"Emotionally, I stay centered through music.. It's the best medicine in the world."

Yeah, the threats we’re facing are more complicated than a pop song, and no, life isn’t like a Prince concert, though maybe it should be.

There is something defiantly subversive about collective joy. Prince reminded us that we need to fight hatred, but we can’t stop dancing, either.

To all my fellow freaks who are grieving the place we call home and feeling devoid of joy; to all the misfits, outcasts, and weirdos out there who find solidarity in their oddness and who want to make sure everybody gets to join the party here:

May all your berets be raspberry.
May all your corvettes be red.
May all your rain be purple.

And if De-elevator tries to bring you down,
go crazy, punch a higher floor.

@Cd_Julian_ How does she not know you wrote her half of her thesis? Also FYI Doctoral students have to write dissertations. Thesis are for masters students.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

The history books quietly bypassed is that Barack Obama, during the most pressure-saturated nights of his presidency, would retreat alone to the Treaty Room on the second floor of the White House residence — not to strategize, not to take calls, but to handwrite personal letters to ten ordinary American citizens every single night, a practice he maintained with almost monastic devotion across all eight years, selecting the letters himself from the 40,000 that arrived daily at the White House, and his longtime correspondence director Fiona Reese confirmed that Obama would often weep privately while reading certain letters, folding them carefully before writing responses so personally detailed and emotionally present that recipients frequently described the experience of receiving them as the most significant moment of their lives, with one Ohio steelworker writing back to say that Obama's letter had physically stopped him from making a decision that would have permanently altered his family's future. What makes this practice almost unbearably moving is the detail that surfaced later — Obama never used a computer for these letters, always a black felt-tip pen, always legal yellow paper first as a draft, always rewritten onto White House stationery by hand a second time, because he believed, as he told historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in a rare private conversation later recounted in her 2018 work, that the physical act of pressing pen to paper forced a quality of attention that typing simply could not replicate, a philosophy rooted in his years as a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago from 1992 to 2004 where he developed the conviction that democracy only functions when its leaders remain genuinely, uncomfortably close to the specific gravity of individual human suffering rather than processing it from behind the insulating distance of institutions and screens."

I remember this commercial. Did not realize back then that this was Carlton from Fresh Prince the entire time. Mind blown. 🤯
