hmm.. even though America runs on credit and the average citizen doesn’t have the kind of liquid capital to pay cash for a car? where’s the middle?

i agree w/ not financing to own a depreciating asset which is why i lease. and maybe im an outlier but my credit was built strong by financing/leasing

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.

Losing musicians always hits harder for me. Putting art out into the world that genuinely affects people’s lives is a gift that cannot be understated.

we love to throw a bunch of lifestyle interventions at people and i get why; they do work. for more people than not though, everyday is an uphill battle against societal limitations while trying to stay on top of basic tasks and responsibilities. society cruel.

jawn. @virgojawn.bsky.social · 1d

and what’s worse is it’s literally a privilege to have access to time, tools, and resources for short-term and longterm management of stress. we know who this disproportionately affects and that weighs on me bad.
