Today is #MusicSermon's EIGTH ANNIVERSARY!!! 🎂🍾 It all started with a thread about how we danced hard AF in the 90s (and we'll revisit that this week), so it's only appropriate that for Week 4 of #BlackMusicSummer, you share the songs that have you put in a whole ass work out on the dancefloor!

For over a year our 2yo has been obsessed with videos of the Lowes animatronic Halloween reaper band. So for his 3rd birthday, we surprised him with his own reaper band. Now all he wants to do is perform with the 7ft tall reapers, specifically as an *animatronic* skeleton. He’s a method actor.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

I was having a conversation with someone earlier today, and they said this: “To be successful and be from the hood is to be stuck in places you’ve outgrown or places you’ll never fit in.” It’s been on my mind for hours…

This viral tiktok made me think of a fantastic article by my friend @melaniehamlett.bsky.social “men have no friends & women bear the burden”

When I learned about what happened in Boston in the 70s regarding busing and desegregation, this is what I think of. Exactly what she is saying here. But this is the trend with immigrants to this country. The anti-blackness is very consistent.

This. It’s remarkably easy not to know. It is so easy that I check in at the end of the day to make sure I didn’t miss something major like a nuclear threat.

I remember when people like that had a decency to call themselves “space tourists”.

I really wish people would care about Trump using Pinochet's tactics to disappear people for speaking their mind.

The image features a lively scene from a performance with the caption: “If I send this to you, just know I’m about to play in your whole face.” The text sets a playful, teasing tone, suggesting a lighthearted and humorous exchange is about to occur.

The “Ain’t I A Woman” speech was not the actual speech given by Sojourner Truth but a whitewashed version of her talk. It is said that Sojourner’s first language was Dutch and that she didn’t speak the Southern idiom attributed to her. behttps://www.thesojournertruthproject.com/

Any Black person who performs at Trump’s inauguration dishonors: • The Black families he refused to rent to, • The Black kids he targeted in the Central Park case, • The Black president he lied about, • The Black election workers he targeted, and • The Black Haitian immigrants he lied about.
