He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

RIP Michael Eugene Archer aka D'ANGELO. 🕊️

3 classic albums. No skips. Love songs. Liberation songs. Sensual songs. Fun songs. Black ass music. 51 is too young. D'Angelo can't be gone.

MTG ain’t doing shit but trying to save herself before the tide really turns. She knew all of this would happen and gaslit her constituents about it when they brought her their concerns. Trying to act like she’s suddenly seen the light is how white people keep falling for the okiedoke.

Her being able to see the consequences she gleefully voted for while insulting Democrats for speaking out against them and while also being racist, homophobic, and transphobic doesn’t mean shit.

She knows the old trick is about to run out so she’s getting ahead of the next one.

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and it's important that we talk about it... especially considering how prevalent it is in our society. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in the US experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime.

If you think you don't know anyone who's been personally impacted by domestic violence, you're likely mistaken ( if you've met me, then you do.)

One of the many things that perpetuates the cycle is silence. Survivors are often hesitant to come forward. Many women blame themselves for the abuse, and many men stay silent out of shame or fear of judgement.

This year, domestic violence has been a pretty common topic of discussion as more public figures, such as Cassie, Keke Palmer, Hailey Bailey, and Sha'Carri Richardson and their experiences have been thrust into the public eye. Unfortunately, many of these discussions include comments and jokes like "That could never be me" or "Why didn't they just leave?"

While I truly hope that none of you ever have to endure that kind of trauma, please remember: you probably know someone who has, or who currently is, living through it. They see and hear your dismissive remarks, and whether you realize it or not, that kind of talk contributes to keeping the cycle of violence alive.

Let's choose compassion over judgement. Listen, support and lead with empathy.. You never know who may need it

Yesterday I left 5 minutes earlier than what I normally do and I got to work 10 minutes early. The smallest changes really can make the biggest difference.

I remember when I worked at the railroad there were people in my department who had been there 10+ years who had only ever worked one region. In the two and a half years I was there I could work any region at any time because I would move around. It’s the best way to stay sharp.
