Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collective survival. She named the connective tissue that holds us together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast & often.

Beloved disability rights activist Alice Wong co-founded Crips for eSims for Gaza, which raised millions of dollars to support internet and phone connectivity for Palestinians in Gaza during the genocide. In doing so, she helped save countless lives. RIP 💔

As I sit here this morning, Black Messiah sits on my record player and I think of the ways in which D’Angelo’s music has helped shape me and my taste. I really don’t know what to think or say other than hoping he’s at peace.

D’Angelo’s passing is a meteoric loss for music. He was an artist that never got *enough* flowers, in my opinion. A curious and propulsive musician. Man. I’m absolutely devastated.

Neo-soul has lost giants this year. I mean, actual pillars of modern sound. The bridge between what was and what is. Grateful to them. So, so sad that they are gone.

D’Angelo dropped two back to back classics with Brown Sugar and Voodoo, went on a 14 YEAR HIATUS and came back with Black Messiah. There will never be another.

He literally gave his life documenting Israeli atrocities, and the day after his death they erase it all. It’s evil. They’re sending the message they will erase us. They justify and then conceal the war crimes, beyond complicity its collaboration in genocide.
NEW | Instagram has removed the verified account of Gaza slain journalist Saleh al-Jafarawi, who had 4.5 million followers. Archived snapshots of his page on the Wayback Machine, the largest public internet archive, also appear to have been wiped or disabled, raising concerns about digital erasure of Palestinian documentation. Al-Jafarawi, known for his frontline reporting on the Gaza genocide, had previously faced repeated censorship. He was killed yesterday by an armed group collaborating with Israel. Observers warn that these developments may signal “a new phase in efforts to erase evidence of Israeli war crimes from the internet.”

the sound of d’angelo’s brown sugar album is what pushed j dilla to evolve from being pete rock-inspired into his eventual signature futuristic sound this is an unreleased instrumental from the late 1994 brown sugar sessions where you can clearly hear dilla’s early fingerprints
