D’Angelo’s Black Messiah is a perfect record. music.apple.com/us/album/bla...

3 classic albums. No skips. Love songs. Liberation songs. Sensual songs. Fun songs. Black ass music. 51 is too young. D'Angelo can't be gone.

Give your nervous system a break.

Kamasi Washington just threw a stanky coda from Lift Every Voice and Sing into the end of the national anthem. hell yes

Happy Juneteenth!!!!

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

I love being black

"You don't need to become more lovable; you need to become more reachable." A WORD!!!

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

No one: Performers when they spot the EFG camera in the photo pit: 🫵

I lived bitch✌🏼

Music will get me through anything

If you want to make any amount of change in the world you are going to be uncomfortable. But if you push past that you can accomplish so much.

I wish we could art our way out of this.

May we persevere in fighting these monsters. May we persevere in fighting these systems of destruction and death. May we save as many lives as possible. May we begin to bring another world into being. May we always remember that every life is sacred. Collective liberation or bust. ❤️💥❤️

There’s no way I’d still be here if music didn’t exist.

Capitalism systematically gobbles up its favoured bits of minority cultures and subcultures, chews them up and produces things which are less challenging to the status quo. It likes to hold on to a rebellious, nonconforming, exotic *vibe* while it does it.

How Ryan and his crew gonna form their garage bands and make neo-emo music if Karen is bothering you about having your garage open to begin with? Or playing music louder than a whisper? Or about storing instruments in there to begin with? Racism hurts y’all too at the end of the day.

For this to happen, for garage magic to be resurrected, White people gotta topple the HOAs they created 🤷🏾‍♀️

Beyond activism and culture, Black radio serves as a community hub, connecting listeners to local events, resources, and news that mainstream outlets might overlook.

Y'all why am I just now getting COVID for the first time???

2020: attacks on “BLM” 2022: attacks on “CRT” 2024: attacks on “woke” 2025: attacks on “DEI” BLACK. THEY MEAN BLACK.

i say "this is my song" to about 40 songs

Baltimore Center Stage refuses to comply with federal anti-DEI guidelines for funding

How it started & how it's going:

Life would be sooo boring without music

There's nothing "unbiased" or "non-political" that exists in music, movies, newsrooms, or books. From what gets greenlit to what gets promoted. They've convinced us that money is the deciding factor but that's a misdirect. It's the personal politics of the decision makers.

This is what it SHOULD be, but people love the convenience of fast food and Amazon, so a lot of consumers will unfortunately go right back to business as usual tomorrow because they'll feel like they've done enough today.

One of my favorite things about my 2017 Chevy Bolt is that it's got buttons and knobs for pretty much everything.

God, take JoAnn's pain and give it to Hobby Lobby

Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

i don’t trust people who aren’t overly caffeinated and don’t use “fuck” as a sentence enhancer.

I hate to shit on protest efforts, but I’m gonna ask the obvious question: What’s ONE day gonna do? Seriously? You shop at Walmart on Thursday. Say, “Fuck Walmart,” on Friday. Then back to Walmart on Saturday. It’s giving “performative.” Either make it long-term (months or years) or don’t bother.

Coffee did not do its job this morning

What new horrors am I waking to today? What new joys can I create to resist?

Trying to run the country like a business is bad enough. Trying to run the federal government like a startup is quite literally insane.

It’s crazy that if you get good grades they let you raw dog ADHD your whole life

Our TV’s backlight went out. Instead of buying a new TV, @erika.efg.xyz realized we could fix it ourselves and ordered an $18 replacement from AliExpress. Using a YouTube tutorial, we replaced the backlight today and it worked! The picture looks even better now.

I repaired a whole-ass TV today so y'all can't tell me NOTHING. ✨🤩✨

I'm just gonna leave this photo here of me and my partner hanging out with Alexis after dinner several years ago. 😎

I'm in the Gulf of America / I'm in the Gulf of Mexico / I'm in the combination Gulf Of Mexico (Gulf Of America)

Black Americans built this country.

We've done more with less. LET'S GOOOOO CHIEFS!
