Working with the creators of this project and it's pretty amazing to see AI used in a good way for once. Inspired on true events, two #blackartists are telling the story of their uncle who was in the music industry in the 1970s. Series premiere is July 10th 🎸🎷🎺🎙️ #blackcreators #blackaiartists

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably. to those who struggle to continue drawing, you are an artist.

Star Wars taught me more of a moral code than any Bible verse. The power of Hope, the importance of Friendship and Loyalty, embracing Diversity and Acceptance, the perils of Hubris and Arrogance—and the balance between Light and Dark… Stay on target, my friends… and May the 4th be with you. Always.

A very hard pill to swallow is that when we do this work for ourselves and our communities, Bob benefits too (and almost always, benefits more than us). Sincerely wish that all the Bobs in this country would stop fighting all those who are trying to help them be healthier, happier, and more secure.

Originally, I wanted to decorate our new home with all recycled/reused items. So far, I'm finding that thrift stores/FBMP are often more $ than buying the item brand new. This makes it hard for any one making less than 100k to not resort to big box. Even when we want to we can't.

Booksellers have faced censorship and harassment defending the freedom to read. Celebrate your local bookstore and support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom. press.princeton.edu/ideas/bookst... #BookstoreDay

This essay traces the long and turbulent history of American booksellers who have faced censorship, harassment, and even violence for defending the freedom to read. Through vivid anecdotes and historical cases-from undercover stings in the early 1900s and legal battles over “obscene” literature, to FBI surveillance of Black bookstores and bomb threats against feminist and LGBTQ+ shops-the author illustrates how bookstores have repeatedly become battlegrounds in the fight for civil liberties and free expression. Despite intimidation from both government and private groups, booksellers have pushed back, shaping legal precedents and rallying communities to defend First Amendment rights. The essay ultimately calls on readers to recognize bookstores as “arsenals of democracy” and to support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.

Sometimes, I feel like everything is garbage & I get overwhelmed but then I imagine how I'd feel if I was a raccoon and suddenly, being surrounded by garbage isn't so bad. In fact, by raccoon standards, being surrounded by garbage is actually great. Life is about perspective.

The whole point of Lauryn Hill's greatness is that she couldn't be defined or categorized or pigeonholed because she was an elite talent in EVERYTHING she did. Rapping, singing, acting, writing. The fact that her peak artistic output was short-lived doesn't change that. She was a shooting star.

The defunding of the Women’s Health Initiative halts vital longitudinal research into heart disease, cancer, and aging in women. Not a fiscal adjustment, but a strategic abandonment of evidence-based, gender-specific science.

Women and girls are literally under attack and the narrative that men and boys are struggling in comparison to them is part of that attack. Their “struggle” as it’s so often harped on is that women and girls aren’t just bending the knee to them in all spheres of life

I started working in small business at 15. I held 3 "corporate" positions in the last 16 years of my work life. Small business matters. It helps keeponey in communities and it helps keep moral high when the world is tough. Seeing your neighbor succeed at his little coffee shop inspires.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

The
GREAT GATSBY
