Rest peacefully, legend.

If you were born around the same time as the song “red red wine”, Ub40!!

Come work with us! Haymarket Books is hiring a full-time publicist to join our team in Chicago. www.haymarketbooks.org/pg/jobs

My rap group will be doing multiple sets in Columbia, MO this weekend with a superset on Sunday night. Can’t wait. Grab tix (if you can, a lot of it is already sold out). truefalse.org

Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

I don't know about you, but I don't want Chicago to lose an important progressive voice like the Reader while Elon Musk's teenage fascists are nuking any federal agency that uses the word "transition" or "woman." We're still struggling to survive—please help if you can. donorbox.org/save-the-chi...

I’ll never iron my pride flags cause I ain’t making no gay shit straight

I’ll be at True False Film Fest later this month. So, there’s that.

Me: I believe everybody has a right to be sexually fulfilled, I don't kink shame Them: I like race play 😊 Me: See that's what tf is wrong with y'all now

when you're assertive, some people may label you as mean or combative because it's easier for them when you're passive. there are those who prefer you to stay silent, agree with them, or avoid expressing discomfort.

Just got blocked by a musician on here who put words in my mouth, tried to pick a fight based on words I never said, then backpedaled and made me the villain cuz I didn’t take the bait. Oh we are SO back!

I mean… Stevie Wonder, Sly & The Family Stone, Parliament/Funkadelic, Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Miles Davis, Earth, Wind & Fire, etc. are all still available so… I’m good.

I'm so tired, Jesus.

Yall remember when things used to cost cents. Like you could legit go to the store with loose pocket change and leave with something?

Sticking to reading foreign media and local news outlets has helped manage my anxiety during this moment. Feels like there’s a directive to be inherently chaotic, passive, or inconsistent in major national publications.

Thinking about how my ex once looked me in the eye and told me I wasn’t good enough at art to do it full time and I should keep being a server. And now I have my art on the outside of an arena. Never let anyone tell you that spite isn’t one hell of a motivator

monocultured out, give me the microculture

By my count, @chicagoreader.com published 373 pieces last year in performing arts (theater, dance, live comedy, live lit, multidisciplinary performance, puppetry, magic, circus arts). We need help to keep that diversity of coverage going in the future! donorbox.org/save-the-chi...

Waiting for Drake to file a third lawsuit, naming everyone in the stadium individually.

Art matters. Art is a powerful means of speaking truth to power. When it seems the powerless are being silenced, artists, musicians, writers, entertainers, and poets give the people a voice.

And the Chiefs choked!!!!!! Lmaooooooooooooo 😂😂😂

probably the most mischievous grin ever

Whole stadium singing A MINORRRRRRRRRrrr 😂 He ain’t even say it HA

Watching THE RUNNING MAN (1987) and uh yeah they been warning us for years lmao

That song ‘99 Bottles of Beer On the Wall’ is now 89 bottles of beers bc they were imports and now there’s a 10% tariff.

😬😬😬😬😬

I'm saying dumb shit you've never thought of with confidence you couldn't dream of

Like many of my colleagues, I've taken a 6 month, 20 percent pay cut to try & save Reader jobs. I'm raising $1000 to keep us going, and wrote a short piece at the link below about why: can you help? @chicagoreader.com donorbox.org/save-the-chi...

Well I did a thing again lol 😂 I appreciate everybody who voted for ya girl for Best Individual Hip-Hop Artist of 2024 - First Runner-Up - via the @chicagoreader.com poll. Shout out to Saba, Fury and Levi Stress. Good company, indeed!

Go to the gym

The second you become so broken & cynical that there’s no longer a reason to fight because all hope is lost you’ll never dig yourself out of that miasma of despair and it will consume you… I’m lucky to have made it out to the other side and I’m never going back under.

Hip hop women’s history, advocacy for sobriety, honoring the elders, inspiring the future. Just magical 💐

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.
