And like so many of us adoptees, these kids will learn one day and understand how she allowed this harassment of their people. I'm sending the kids so much love.

Loved Mary's work in all kinds of settings since hearing her on the much-missed Firehouse 12 label over a decade ago. And she's back at Oto in a couple of weeks with Tomeka Reid's Quartet. As to whether I'll ever get to see Amaryllis in London...

Regarding the devil - "Suite For Susan Moore And #Damion - We Are - One, One, All In One" Umm, Damion/Damien/Omen Songs - "Question Of Birth" "Once-Touched By Flame" "Magician" XXX Plus, this track is sick! Miroslav Vitous, Al Mouzon, etc. youtu.be/ZozeyGWayso?...

So listen. Comparing Stephen Miller, the absolute monster, to Nosferatu or that he looks like a lizard person... is antisemitic tropes. LISTEN. I'm not Jewish. I didn't grow up around Jewish culture (other than the low exposure of most Americans) SO LIKE MANY OF YOU, I DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL

he is so bad at the one thing he is supposed to be famous for. i have had a grudge against him since the ‘80s for making records sound like shit. truly a person with no redeeming qualities

what if they fought back against republicans instead

"We need to be more than bystanders as this story develops. We have to build power as creators and assert our rights directly with government, platforms, and even those nonprofits who claim to represent our interests in closed door negotiations. Organize, damn it!" Pues eso...

Proof! I think I was still in college when I found this in a NYC record store, so no later than 1993. Don’t recall the store’s name. Never seen an original in the wild. Still on the hunt! #vinyl

Giving racists free rein to be their worst selves This is bad

Hard to believe it was 30 years ago a good friend of mine moved to NYC, was taking bass lessons from William and I would see Mrs. Parker roaming around the East Village when visiting…

This is a terrific interview. "How on earth did a Millennial weaned on the Internet get so deeply into these fading relics?" recordlung.substack.com/p/inside-the...

Rick Rubin doing ads for polymarket is really very validating for my long-held belief that that dude is a legendary fraud, huckster, and quack. Fuck that guy.

The Supreme Court doesn't think Rastafarians enjoy the same religious protection for their hair as other Christians enjoy for their bigotry. To get there, The Court launched a frontal attack on the foundation of civil rights laws. I explain in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The Times responded to my analysis of their coverage of trans issues. They basically said "you can't look at what we wrote, you have to look at everything else!" But that belies the structural issues they won't even admit to such as pushing a Pullitzer campaign for Azeen Ghorayshi's podcast.
