D’Angelo has spoken against his sex icon image. He was pushed into that by the label and hated when he was on tour and ladies were treating him like a stripper. I hope in his passing we can celebrate his incredible musicality and dedication to the craft. 🌚

That is why Hurston's work is one of the best because it is engaging.

She does romantize his life or change his language, diction. She allows him to tell his story even when goes of.on a tangent. This method is.different from. Western anthropology research which is purely objective not getting close to the "subject". She brings him food and drives him around.

I visualize images in color when I read anything. That is why I make suggestions that certain books should be made into a movie. For example, Blood Slaves by Markus Redmond.

Adrian C. Jackson @adriancjax.blacksky.app · 1d

Are you able to visualize images in your mind?

If you can, do you see them in color or black & white?

If you can’t, what appears in your mind (if anything) when reading fictional books/stories?

You call my name five times in a row without a break for me to respond, imma show up in a bad mood too. The hook is unrelated. #Candyman

I love when folks post about things others may be too ashamed to ask.

This is why social media matters.

Gentle reminder: I am seeing more "I cannot afford pet food" posts & if you might face this in the near future/now, I recommend checking your local area's subreddit and posting if anyone knows of local programs for pet food. Many areas have small under-the-radar charities that give out pet food.
