Questlove also talked about how the liner notes turned him into a writer. I realized I’ve never read them. Amazing 💜 Stevie so much
Black and white liner notes from the vinyl of Songsin the Key of Life I am joining the fight, and I hope many will join us in the fight to help accused criminals that are denied a fair trial while sometimes others that have committed mass murders can be paroled in a matter of time, based on them knowing a friend who is a friend of a friend whose friend is a friend of that friend who has the magic power. There are many

And finally to those who are unknown and who for various reasons, including devotion to duty and love for this project, lost their loves in the long and hard journey to completion of this album - may they live to love better!

Bloodchild Octavia Butler , 1995

Bloodchild
Octavia E. Butler (1995)
My last night of childhood began with a visit home. T'Gatoï's sister had given us two sterile eggs. T'Gatoi gave one to my mother, brother, and sisters. She insisted that I eat the other one alone. It didn't matter. There was still enough to leave everyone feeling good. Almost everyone. My mother wouldn't take any. She sat, watching everyone drifting and dreaming without her. Most of the time she watched me.
I lay against T'Gatoi's long, velvet underside, sipping from my egg now and then, wondering why my mother denied herself such a harmless pleasure. Less of her hair would be gray if she indulged now and then. The eggs prolonged life, prolonged vigor.
My father, who had never refused one in his life, had lived more than twice as long as he should have. And toward the end of his life, when he should have been slowing down, he had married my mother and fathered four children.
But my mother seemed content to age before she had to. I saw her turn away as several of T'Gatoi's limbs secured me closer. 'Gatoi liked our body heat and took advantage of it whenever she could. When I was little and at home more, my mother used to try to tel me how to behave with T'Gato -
how to be respectful and always obedient because T'Gatoi was the Tlic government official in charge of the Preserve, and thus the most important of her kind to deal directly with Terrans. It was an honor, my mother said, that such a person had chosen t come into the family. My mother was at her most formal and severe when she was lying
I had no idea why she was lying, or even what she was lying about. It was an honor to have T'Gatoi in the family, but it was hardly a novelty. 'Gatoi and my mother had bee friends all my mother's life, and T'Gatoi was not interested in being honored in the hou she considered her second home.
She simply came in, climbed onto one of her special couches, and called me over to ke …

SCOTUS’s shadow docket strikes again. Third-country removals are back on, using a policy that two federal courts have now ruled is unlawful.
CORDER LIST: 609 U.S.)
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2026
26-426
(26A406)
CERTIORARI GRANTED
DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL.
The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and
by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026 order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the
district court had
authority to enter classwide
declaratory
relief
and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252 (f) (1).
(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals
is unlawful under 8 U. S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or
FARRA/CAT and its
implementing regulations. (4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the
proper disposition of the case. The Clerk is directed to
establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be
argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall
terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would
deny the application for stay.

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

Every conversation about the Cornell case is irritating me because there is no way there was just one victim. Just one report. I need people to stop talking like no one had any idea they were rapists. Go crack open those middle school and high school records.

I talk to my sons constantly about watching out for women and girls at parties. We role play strategies for intervention if a guy is getting creepy. My oldest son found out a roommate had raped a girl in high school, they immediately confronted him & kicked him out of the house. Stop the cycle.

The first priority is to Slow it Down. They are cramming this plan through in order to close schools by next fall. Second is for the district to earnestly push to expand enrollment. There hasn’t been a real hard effort to win families back that fled to charters and the burbs.
