Grateful for another trip around the sun. ♋️ up!

In happier things- There's lightning bugs outside ☺️

I dont believe in a male loneliness epidemic. Them boys just a bunch of losers. One band, one sound.

The new Afrofuturism Short Stories anthology—co-edited by Isis Asare and featuring an introduction by scholar Dr. Sandra M. Grayson—is here to transport you beyond the boundaries of space, time, and imagination. #sistahscifi #AfrofuturismShortStories

"You Send Me Swingin'" x Mint Condition

Hilarious in the meta-ness of it. Curious to see if it will bring more attention to the range of previous products designed to help us spend less time on our screens and devices.

An absolute ass whipping.

Happy for NYC tonight

What’s that rule about real estate? Location. Location. Location. 😅

I swear I luv us down!!! What YN did this 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣 #blacksky

Definitely one for the ages. We’ve all been there 😂😭

I will never go “back to school” But if i were to commit myself to research something… it would be this It’s the only thing I’m interested in

The Last Dance is ESPN's Baby Boy

Listening to Roberta Flack's First Take again (I keep her on regular rotation, but this is the first time I've run the whole album in a while) and my god her voice. And then you get into her phrasing and interpretation.

NP Stevie, Summer Soft

Oh well. It was a good run. I hate that the game had to be decided with Hali out tho.

And of course I gotta give yall an official shot

A little bit of summertime down on the lake (at Euclid Beach Park in Cleveland)

What I really hate about literally everything with this administration and it's bullshit right now is that nothing, NONE OF IT, is for any real reason. Just dismantling shit and blowing up shit just cause. And that makes me furious at the people who thought letting this fool back in office was ok.

Ok this right here

Ramsey Lewis Trio's take on the classic. Everything about this performance:

47 is ripping up and paving over the White House rose garden. This man HATES anything with beauty.

Diamond in the back Sunroof top Diggin the scene Wit a gangsta lean 🥰🥰

Happy Solstice!!! ☀️ Today's the official first day of Summer and the longest day of Summer, let's govern ourselves accordingly! Today's prompt might have y'all repeating some former choices; that's ok! For Day 20 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share a song that sounds like Summer. ☀️🕶️🏖️

if any technology has the capability for surveillance, you can be sure it'll be primarily used for surveillance

Happy Friday *and* Summer Solstice good skousins. Shouts out to everybody who revels in the long days (despite the oven getting ready to fire up this week).

YOU WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY??? *This* is the NOW INFAMOUS "Footnote 12" that Jackson wrote. It basically tells Neil Gorsuch: "Fuck you as a staff, label, and motherfucking crew."

Screamin A is an instant channel change for me atp

That cartoonish laugh at the end is frying me. This will always be funny 😭😭😭

I think billboard purposefully put out a bullshit list for rage engagement. It's all just clicks to them.

That was a bum ass flop by Hartenstein, especially after he got away with that hold

I LOVE hoop yet have to turn my tv channel when the ESPN halftime show comes on. What a terrible product complimenting such elite skill and drama.

I am hollering

Proud to be apart of that 86,000

Never forget! ✊🏾 #Juneteenth
