ANYWAY now that it’s midnight here, in honor of #throwbackmichaelthursday what is everyones favorite j5/the Jacksons era outfit? These are my current top 4
The fact that Linda Creed co-wrote “Greatest Love of All,” made famous by Whitney Houston, AND The Stylistics’ “You Are Everything” and “Betcha by Golly, Wow” is INSANE. She helped shape the sound of Philadelphia soul, and now she’s being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Songwriters deserve their flowers too.

I know he wasn't crazy about doing the variety show, but I have such a soft spot for these performances. It gave us a chance to see him do so many impressive things choreography-wise (pop-locking, tap, splits). The entire family was showing out.
AWFUL. A family pleaded with ICE to deport their ill father so he could get out of detention. They even offered to pay for plane tickets. But ICE kept him jailed for two months after he accepted removal, his health deteriorating daily. He died hours after he was finally deported.
So grateful for @GabbySidibe breaking down the antifatness, colorism, shapism, etc. that so many of us experience in this world.
Similarly I know I’m stunning but not by societal standards and my treatment by others has been laced with antifatness.
