“Keisha and Sean became determined to fill this resource gap. They’re among a growing group of Black parents who are building a support network.”

No one was helping Black transgender youth. So these parents stepped in.

A new nonprofit provides resources to Black families of transgender and nonbinary youth at a moment of heightened political hostility.

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

Then if you don't wanna play or are unsuccessful at the capitalism life game you just suppose to happily except being homeless and starving as the outcome, then you accept being homeless and starving and that's actually not enough and people want you completely out of sight, jailed preferably.

This month marks 30 years since Groove Theory released their eponymous debut album 'Groove Theory' in October of 1995 | Listen to the album + read our anniversary tribute by @markchappelle.bsky.social here: album.ink/groovetheoryGT

Groove Theory’s Eponymous Debut Album ‘Groove Theory’ Turns 30 | Album Anniversary

Amel Larrieux & Bryce Wilson’s lone studio LP together captures the sound of the mid-‘90s like a perfect Polaroid. The fact that it has aged so well is a testament to its extraordinary quality.

15 years is CRAZY.
I think I still have a picture of me and Phonte in my studio about to work on the music for what would become "Fight For Love"...
