D’Angelo’s “Brown Sugar” album was the soundtrack to my freshman year of college. Formative.

(Yes of course I acquired that CD through BMG Music Service.)

Professor Carol Anderson was on Code Switch last week talking to Gene Demby about the state of voting rights in the U.S. I always and never want to hear from her! Always, because she’s a brilliant historian. Never, because there’s rarely good news these days. pca.st/episode/cf9b...

There are f’ing TV ADS for the SCORE Act?!?

Don’t buy their bullshit. Every single org invested in and working toward equity for and investment in women’s college sports are working to REJECT the SCORE Act.

Pass it on - NO to the SCORE Act.
