I will miss the little bits of attention he gives me, like the double take he gave me while thinking of going on the wheel. He chose the wheel, lol.

He’s had a good quality of life, but I can’t begrudge him if he wants to go.

He is still active, very sneaky and food-focused and I think we would’ve bonded more if he didn’t have all these illnesses. But if they’re bothering him more than I can tell, then it’s up to him to make it clear.

Started worrying about the hedgie’s weight then realized he had a bout of diarrhea due to pain meds (and is better! Thank you probiotics and pumpkin), and even if he was ready to go, I’ve done everything to give him a good sendoff.

Bittersweet, I know, but it’s only fair.

My protein powder still has lead in it!🤷🏿‍♂️

Just not as much as those fancy designer plant based proteins. So I will turn weird and start acting like a Roman a few years later than the fancy people that lift at Equinox.

Pancreatic cancer is one of those cancers that rarely gives you even a fighting chance, let's not argue about that today.

Some of their staples are also affordably priced. It’s the parking situation I can’t stand. 😭😭😭

Trader Joe’s is working overtime tryna turn me into a basic white bish named Kayleigh who wears UGG boots to the apple orchard.

THe way this pumpkin brioche twist bread is so disgustingly delicious. I’m so furious… as I finish the loaf.

Couldn’t hate it more.

Right. Going to the doctor does not keep you from having cancer. And some cancers just really don’t have symptoms until it’s too late.

Big Lord Bunny @ceepain.bsky.social · 11h

That's exactly why I said the conversation has to be broader ... it ain't always folks not going to the doctor or not being on top of their health.

To add to misinformation playing a role, patriarchy has something to do with it. Many men don’t want to feel “weak,” and they can just shrug the pain off.

Things are bad but you know, if u get that type of cancer you likely did nothing wrong, there are just a lot of things in the world we need to un-do

Normally people who get compared to iconic artists of the past aren't mentioned in the same breath as them when they die. Imagine working with the very clearly, colossally famous and talented influences D'Angelo did (Prince, Sly Stone!) and then very securely standing alongside them. It's just wild!

An hour and 11-minute long mix of nothing but D'Angelo live tracks from various shows during the Brown Sugar and Voodoo eras. It's so well done. Also downloadable.

All the love you’re seeing for D’Angelo is what happens when you leave the world in a better place than how you found it.

He and his art will be missed.
