Can't keep preaching to the choir, the choir's depressed. Get out of your bubbles; reach out to the other side no matter how fucking difficult and stressful. Open your mind, challenge your own ideas. Can't afford not to.

🎧 How is it that every song I've heard so far on the new Tyler album IGOR is a banger? 🎧

Also wanted to add that I love the piano solo in this performance. Pianist is Sullivan Fortner and he's severely underplayed on Spotify.

another Roy Hargrove recording of "Strasbourg / St. Denis" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ6dbUmU__o

In this one, the pianist tries to get the crowd to clap in time :)

Was going through my FB feed and recognized a name in an article I saw 😀 @jalcine

Sucks I only found out about Roy Hargrove after his passing.

Now playing: Roy Hargrove Quintet - Strasbourg / St. Denis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxeb0cwjE8U

This song makes me want to dust my piano off, carry it out from the garage, and jam.

How to create universal healthcare in 16 points or less

A small win: a new friend of mine ran for SF school board. Homegirl Gabriela López WON! Knowing this woman--her beautiful heart, passion for her job and students, experience as a public school teacher, who did much "campaign cardio" to knock on doors and meet voters--many of which are not US citizens but able to vote for school board--this woman who vouches for cultural competence in the classroom and increased wages for teachers--inspires me! #GainsGainsGains

Some GAINS today! What a time to be represented by women of color in some parts of the US. https://www.bustle.com/p/women-of-color-who-won-in-the-2018-midterm-elections-held-their-ground-gained-some-too-13096026?fbclid=IwAR2YyWUzm5kLR5UTKRobVu21r1FmDY4du4SV8J2R05lPZA-Ly-B0Xn2jXIc

Criticism =/= skepticism. Some self-proclaimed "skeptics" tend to act sure of almost everything, which seems a contradiction in itself. To make points out of skepticism requires self-awareness, maturity, and some skill. But to poke holes in the name of "skepticism," which is truly contrarianism, for fuck's sake, if not done for leisure, is a waste of time and energy for others. Simple contrarianism is not the essence of higher intelligence, and we should stop enabling or rewarding it as such.

Better Call Saul is getting me all concerned we're going to lose Nacho.

Trying to come to terms with the mini panic attacks I get before I level off and accept the enjoyable stimulation of caffeine.
