Same. But when call waiting hit them princess phones? Remember how blown away we were about call waiting? Game changer.

When I was born telephones only had dials.

I miss rotary phones. They had personality.

Before call waiting.

Wonderful post to help us think about how we narrate histories of technology. Technically the cell phone was invented in 1973 but I doubt this is the meaning here, they didn’t become ubiquitous until the 90s or early 00s depending on where you lived so most adults were born before that.

Aaayyyeee

Today: this protest against the undoing of the VRA, the seminal legislative achievement of the most famous faith-led protest movement in U.S. history. Tomorrow: Rededicate 250, which aspires to rededicate America to God, but where none of the organizers of the effort below appear to be speaking.

I’m never gonna get over the loss of his life and voice.

The majority of the Black liberation movement is rooted in leftist theory.

I'm definitely excited to see whatever Aleshea Harris does next. It's been a long time since anything coming out of Hollywood felt this new.

They're completely different vibes but...you know that scene where Delta Slim is talking about the lynching and you don't SEE anything but the acting and the sound design take you to the brink? Thats the kind of horror Is God Is has hiding in an exploitation film style. Visceral instead of explicit.

Came to say exactly this

🌱 Peony Duchess de Nemours My favorite. Smells like a rose. Begs the argument… why not just plant a rose? We have. Quite a few. And some are in bloom. But oddly… this peony smells more like “rose” than our roses. Go figure.

it is giving Magna-doodle

This wigga look like he converted to Islam

It looks like it was drawn on with cheap eyeliner. Aside from that, I hate it.

This is the Ife Head, a medieval Yoruba brass head found in 1938 in Ife (Nigeria). When the British Museum acquired it in 1939, it caused a huge uproar, because it is a beautifully carved naturalistic bust, but scholars didnt want to believe it was made by African people.

Y'all have Miles Davis & Marvin Gaye & James Brown as actual epic artistic geniuses with mindblowing music who were abusers, & you sitting here parsing through Drake's bubble gum culture vulture rap for artistic merit as an abuser when he can just be chucked in the trash because he ain't worth it?

I had the same reaction to mfers caping for Diddy. “Your faves are most likely trash” comes with the territory…but even in that subset, there are so many worthier artists. And this is your hero?

Contrary to what many think, banning books doesn't boost sales or interest in that book. It makes the books much harder for people to get. And almost always, it leads to erasure of marginalized stories, especially Black & brown and queer people.

The serpent headed into the garden:

I hope you are happy. I hope you are safe. I hope you are loved. I hope you are at peace. I hope you have hope. I hope you have food. I hope you are warm. I hope you have a place to stay.

There will never be 10 tracks of his worth my attention, let alone my appreciation. Please.

What's the problem with #2?

It's ok to hate niggas who suck.

People acting like Big Ghostfase wasn't hate blogging about Drake 15 years ago. The "Drake is softer than baby skin covered in chinchilla" didn't start with Kendrick or even Pusha. But his fans could ignore it because he was effectively untouchable. Then Kendrick touched him. #NoAyooo

A favorite of the patrons at my mama’s bar and a song I had no business knowing the lyrics to

Which beyond necessary. The narcissism of celebrity lulls people into thinking they have a degree of efficacy when really, they are still just pawns in a greater capitalist system. Even Jay-Z and Beyonce. That’s why their asses are shucking and jiving for republicans to keep their money

this is why you can't, CANNOT, keep following and studying what they do. it's just another twist on the things toni morrison spoke on; we can't spend all our time correcting them and proving our stories to them. they haven't stopped in centuries, they're not about to stop now

Exactly. We had a Black president, if that wasn’t enough to secure and codify our rights then that means this machine was never gonna allow our agency and no matter how much you cozy up to white people, the machine will work as intended. We have to break the machine!

This was basically the beginning of Motown-LA, years before they officially moved their headquarters there. They were trying to figure out how to crack that particular market and figured putting their artists in beach movies was the ticket, so Stevie came out with out an album reflecting that motive

If you want to understand race, don't read Isabel Wilkerson's "Caste" It's ahistorical and wrong. Read "Caste, Class, and Race" by Oliver Cromwell Cox or "Capitalism and Slavery" by Eric Williams

"Trump’s allies see Nicki Minaj as not just a celebrity endorsement but also a narrative, someone who privately harbored right-wing sympathies and now feels free to express them" 'I’ve never felt happier. I’ve never felt better,' she says. 'When you can be yourself, you’re happier.'

Please help Alaa if you can. She is providing for her children on her own because her husband is imprisoned 🙏🥺

I'll take any that you can't finish! Beets and okra are two of my favorites.
