The greatest thing about D’Angelo is that he never sacrificed integrity for fame. At the very peak of his popularity he stepped away because people started to focus more about how he looked than his music. It was always about the MUSIC for him. A true artist until the very end.
One of the worst parts of being alive in this era is being ruled by deeply incurious people when the universe is absolutely teeming with wonder. We can’t even think recreationally anymore
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…
losing our revolutionaries during an apathy epidemic and our best artists when so many insist art isn’t uniquely human
D’Angelo dropped Brown Sugar and then had writers block for years. Then came Voodoo. Went through so many personal struggles for over a decade after. Then came Black Messiah. His life and work is a testament that the best and most beautiful creations are still possible after…
something i’m learning as an adult is that if i do something not so fair to someone, i have to give them room to come around and also accept that they may never. no matter what i would prefer.
The “Neo-Soul” era of music was beloved by Black folks. It was focused on Black love, beauty, celebration, relationships (and dealing with them in a humane way) and countering anti-Black stereotypes. Badu, Maxwell, Angie Stone, D’Angelo, India Arie, Musiq Soulchild, Floetry,…
Classed feminists & aspiring classed feminists often shift focus to money when their ideologies are questioned, ignoring how the patriarchy weaponizes money to oppress women. You cannot advocate for equality while telling women to sell their bodies, rights, identity and autonomy
Okay so let me get this; discussing (poor) women’s reproductive health = low level Two classed women having personal beef with each other= high level. Good ole misog-
I can’t believe what my eyes have seen this year from some feminists. This is a recession indicator, feminists regressing into patriarchal norms and trying to frame it as some progressive stance. Truly the more things change, the more they stay the same.
D’Angelo help me understand my gender is so many specific ways. He also understood the inalienability of African traditions, helped me understand myself outside of a body. Made me more spirited. So much is owed. Blessed to have a gained ancestor. Blessed to call on his spirit.
Sometimes I remember something embarrassing that happened to me and my mouth reflexively lets out a random sound, and apparently this happens because the brain can’t tell the diff between real-time embarrassment and remembered embarrassment, so it produces a mini stress response.
This should happen to her every time she shows her face in public
Kamala Harris becomes visibly shaken and furious after being called a “right-wing war criminal”
One of the most basic precepts of feminism is the eradication of identity erasure of women. If it’s money that you want in exchange for patriarchal norms, own it with your chest and stop dilly-dallying around feminism to cover up your desires. Tf?
any cisheterosexual male that wants me to change my last name for him has to pay me in $, an amount commensurate with that identity erasure. then again, this is why i didn’t marry a cishet male, and instead married a woman that intuitively understood incentives & pragmatism.
“Voodoo is ancient African tradition. We use ‘voodoo’ in the drums or whatever, the cadences and call-out to our ancestors and that in itself will invoke spirits. And music has the power to do that, to evoke emotions, evoke spirit.” — D’ Angelo
I really feel like 2025 was my “final straw” year. My transitional phase. Out with the old. A lot of things ended permanently. A lot of ppl were removed. So I know 2026 is going to be nothing but a clean state and prosperity.
It is what it is.
Except that she didn’t say any dumb shit this time around. Ozzy’s takes have almost always come from a place of privilege and they have in turn been non-intersectional but she didn’t say anything thing time around that warrants the insults. Especially since she’s apologized.
“Africa is my descent And here I am, far from home I dwell within a land that is meant Meant for many men not my tone, yeah The blood of God is my defense Let it drop down to my seed Showers to your innocence To protect you for all eternity” -D’Angelo 🖤
Akwaeke is my favorite queer celebrity. No twitter discourse, banter, or polycules. Just beautiful pictures on IG, a pen that slaps hard AF across multiple genres, and consistent donation to multiple mutual aids. Really really Stan queer royalty.
Something to consider also is that a lot of these women are not equipped for the conversation. The education we tend to get is quite surface level and makes for good colonial subjects…. then add liberal pop feminism which is often their starting and ending point.
And that is the biggest failure of african feminism. The refusal to address that class has created a redundant movement overshadowed of classed feminists where it is the same conversation being recycled: should I take my husband’s name? Should I cook for my husband? Nothing to do…
