TONIGHT! Over 500 people signed up for the DISENFRANCHISED DISCO! 60,000 people in NC are having their votes challenged by 1 losing candidate for NC Supreme court. The national implications of this attempt to disenfranchise voters & manipulate outcomes is dangerous. Say no. lnkd.in/eazigDQQ

"There's a river somewhere that flows through the life of everyone." Roberta Flack: 1937-2025 Rest in peace. Flack's voice was sadly sweet like no other. The fact that she was born in Black Mountain NC honors us all. She left a beautiful musical legacy that connected pop, R&B, and jazz seamlessly.

Just watched Captain America: Civil War. This film and The Winter Soldier are allegories of our present. Also, “Tony Stank” is really funny.

Captain America's purpose is to protect the rights of others. The Captain America Trilogy is a 3 act breakdown of the struggles of social change. Worth reflection on the shifts we are experiencing now, and informs the transition to Brave New World on February 14. youtu.be/9-w8N7Hke40?...
