Genuinely this is what sucks about hyperconsumption. There is no time to allow things to simmer, no oxygen to allow ideas and visuals to permeate into the collective consciousness. And so what passes for culture is mere content - surface and depthless and thin of substance.

RIP D’Angelo, don’t even know what to say. Three timeless albums, each one an incredible expansion of his sound—a peerless, flawless discography. It wouldn’t even be crazy to say he released the best album of the 90s, the 2000s, and the 2010s. One of our greatest artists.

I just hope one day we finally take ‘Black Excellence’ off its pedestal so we can finally make room for Black integrity instead. Success is nothing if we have zero morals, principles, or understanding of mutual care.

Ryan Coogler just wrote a letter reacting to Sinners being number 1 at the box office:

"The global audience has allowed me to dream, find a career, and build a more sustainable life for me and my family. The only way that I know how to thank you for that, is by continuing my personal human experience and my relationships for more stories to bring to you in cinematic language. To see your response to the film has re-invigorated me and many others who believe in this art form."

So glad that Frankie Beverly got to feel all the love across the country on his farewell tour this year. Rest easy, legend! Your music will continue to bring together families for generations to come! (Video: IG/frankiebeverlyandmaze).

[maya cade @mayascade]

i can’t begin to describe the heartbreak i feel at the passing of frankie beverly. he created the sonic enchantments that are in the key of my joy, heartache, love, and life.

he will always be with us as his music infinitely renders us anew as we listen to all he’s left us. 💔

This little girl from Gaza is not crying because she lost her TOY.

She is crying because she suddenly found herself ALONE in this world after losing 18 members of her family, killed by Israel.

Forgotten stories, no one cares about them.
