august has begun.

We don’t talk about Something To Give Each Other enough. It’s a perfect pop album. Everyone keeps complaining about the lack of good pop music coming from men, but here you have a masterpiece.

Crazy we still say "who's on aux" when the aux cord hasn't been a thing since like 2015

I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.

Genuinely think this album is what pushed Timbaland over the edge. Not a single idea left. He truly emptied the account.

suzanne collins might write for middle schoolers but she used to treat them like they were capable of critical thinking so

Sorry but the discourse around Tyla’s identity has exposed something that deserves to be called out: expecting Africans to understand themselves primarily through a Black American racial framework, while refusing to engage with African’s countries’ racial hierarchies and colonial histories, is a form of xenocentrism that has already become xenophobic in this case.

At some point there has to be intellectual curiosity from
BA. Black Americans are not the only Black people with histories of racialisation, colonialism or oppression. South Africa’s racial classifications for example emerged from a distinct colonial and apartheid system with its own categories, meanings and consequences. Those histories cannot simply be overwritten by an American understanding of race, simply because Tyla wants to market herself to the BA audience. It doesn’t work like that.

Tyla did not invent South Africa’s racial hierarchy any more than Black Americans invented Jim Crow or the one-drop rule. Both are products of white supremacy, but they developed differently in different places. Expecting her to reject the identity that was historically imposed, negotiated and understood within her own country simply to satisfy an American racial framework is insane.

I only care about what my ears tell me about a song, because I’ve realized that taste levels are in the pits.

I think Tyla is being extremely gracious. In truth people who criticised her for saying she is coloured could also have done their work and found out why Black and coloured in a South African context are not the same thing.
