RIP Shock G, psychedelic rap pioneer, one of the 1st & best to translate funk into hip-hop. A high concept genius, who discovered 2Pac & invented sex packets. Our Groucho Mark: raunchy, hilarious & weird. Burger King bathrooms would never be the same. Humpty Hump lives forever 🥸
(2/2) Joanne was a brilliant and accomplished musician, a wonderful advocate for the arts, and a dear friend to everyone in our organization. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Joanne’s family and the thousands of people who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
(1/2) Fred Rogers Productions is deeply saddened by the passing of Joanne Rogers. The loving partner of Fred Rogers for more than 50 years, she continued their shared commitment to supporting children and families after his death as chair of the board of Fred Rogers Productions.
I can honestly say there is no one who I want to be like. No relationship goals that I envy. Even with my mentors and role models, I borrow bits and pieces of their systems, but their entire frame? An immediate no! Never that!
Shot by Police in less than a second. Murdered while gaming with her nephew. Don’t you dare demonize her. Don’t bring up bad report cards from high school or some fuckin’ traffic stop. The custom of demonizing those killed purposefully or accidentally is done. #AtatianaJefferson
She is not a "rapist" or a "criminal." She is not an "animal" or an "infestation." She's a daughter who misses her father—and has no idea when she'll see him again. She will struggle with this trauma for the rest of her life. We’ll have it on our conscience for the rest of ours.

The cost of sanity in this society is a certain level of alienation. Sometimes you really do have to just ghost everyone and everything. And that's OK.
