D'Angelo, like James Baldwin, offered younger me solace after having left a toxic and bigoted religious community. Leaving that church and worship didn't have to mean abandoning the sensuousness of song and the choreography of shared listening. His passing hurts deeply. So grateful for his gifts.

$280 *per family* is nothing. We’d be far better off collectively investing that money into social programs that make life more affordable for everyone by taking the things we depend on out of the market system.

Average Canadian family to save $280 next year from Liberal tax cut: PBO | CBC News

The average Canadian family will save $280 on their taxes next year from the Liberal government's planned income tax cut, the parliamentary budget officer said in an analysis released on Wednesday.

My next academic book, BALIKBAYAN: A Revenant History of the Filipino Homeland, is available for preorder from the University of Washington Press.
