vandalism or violence

just had a great Zoom call with other Black gallerists, curators, and artists about the moment and our roles in creating avenues for Black artists to do their thing. while I’m confident in my knowledge & talents, it honestly still feels good to be affirmed, to have people recognize it

didnt know that i needed a jazz rendition of KRS-One’s Step Into A World but now that i have it … if you enjoy Madlib - Shades of Blue as much as i do, DJ Green Lantern - Jazz Dream is worth a listen music.apple.com/us/album/ste...

past couple nights i’ve fallen asleep to blocks of [adult swim] from ‘02 someone uploaded to youtube. Yuyu Hakusho, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam and Outlaw Star back to back damn i miss those days it’s great to have anime on demand but the shared experience of [adult swim] was special

you as a cartoon

Mario Kart & fighting games. there is no "let them win." it is trial by fire. you win when you're good enough to win.

found out last night that Melissa Vaughn, former president of WRIR, has passed away. i’d only known her a few years, but that few years felt like a forever friend. so much spirit. so much fire. always ready to rage against the machine and rep for Richmond. miss you already, Mel

i’m a lil too old for celebrity crushes but i’m genuinely excited about Ecca Vandal. my love for the alt (Black) girl is forever

Netflix can suck shit through a crazy straw. no justifying the price hikes when they cancel every show worth a damn

MADNESS.

It blows my mind that Netflix cancelled “The Residence.”

I do not understand why we need cars that are not driven by people, when the option to expand and optimize public transit is right there.

Jerry so fucking pathetic, the Meeseeks turned into murderous, impatient parents

Mutual aid is where it's at Why don't any of the think-pieces on male loneliness ever suggest lonely men get involved in mutual aid? (I know why) I'm already salivating in anticipation of the backyard barbecues I'm going to enjoy with the school safety watch/mutual aid pals I'm connecting with now

I don't know how sitting on YouTube can warp these men at their big grown ages when there are men and women who have faced down demoralizing horrors for decades and went onto become congresswomen instead of trying to murder them.

God forbid these men take any damn responsibility for ruining multiple communities. Ruining multiple countries. Terrorizing talented, compassionate people into abandoning regions in disgust or for their own safety. "Oh, if somebody was only there for them." NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN THERE FOR ME!

THEY CHOSE IT. Over the alternatives. You know what happened when I got too deep into YouTube? I taught myself how to use Blender. Stop coddling grown men like babies. They chose to be monsters.

As a black person formerly into the "hobby" of comics--I know it's actually a storytelling medium, which is why it is in quotes--I regret to inform everyone that those bigots just drag the racism right into the middle of the arena and then blame black people for why they aren't writing Spider-Man.

looking forward to this

saved images I intended to reference or they inspired an idea:

For Richmond music friends!

I really wanna make a tokusatsu show

missed a word or two at the end but still could follow. the synapses are still synapsin'

WE WERE ROBBED

per mention of the blog era earlier, Child Rebel Soldier never actually coming to fruition still stings every time I think about. I swore we were about witness history and then ... nothing. one of them niggas is deceased to me, one is tap dancing on thin ice, and the other is completely over it all

first Desus & Mero break up, now everyday I wake up ...

I was real close to moving to LA years ago. I often wonder my career would look like had I gone but I would’ve left my entire family on the East Coast, nieces & nephews that weren’t born yet, and I wouldn’t have met any of the friends I have now. I don’t think I could give up the village I have now

every now and then YouTube will throw an ad at me that isnt just “buy our product” and I have to take a second to question what i’m hearing. today it was “data centers are actually a good thing!” get the fuck outta my face Virginia Connects

curation and discovery got swapped out for the convenience of an algorithm

I miss the blog era everyday. so much music, fashion, and art broke out that would’ve never got a shot or reached the masses if the industry had its way

this is the exact grade scale I grew up with. Southern VA wasn’t fucking around.

I am still shocked that yall think this is wild 😭 bc I def thought it was everyone’s standards

Couldn't ask for a better illustration of my point. Also the links to donate to everyone are in the thread.

that Mucinex monster RFK bout to hop on a mic and tell everyone they just gotta boof some Flonase and snort Pixy Stix and they’ll be fine

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

every other ad on the streamers is for a gambling website. every ad read on a podcast is for some new online therapy service i’m not promoting hard enough
