Tina Turner’s life was reflective of the Black experience in America. Just like Black creativity in America didn’t happen because of racism, Tina Turner’s talent and success didn’t happen because she suffered abuse; it happened despite it. She exemplified our resilience. #RIPTinaTurner #TinaTurner

Don't be bummed; there isn't a mass migration "yet" because it's still a closed invite-only beta. Spoutible has more users than Bluesky. Much of the hype is centered around people asking for invites and journalists writing about it.

ميجان the Librarian @sassybibrarianStill bummed about the mass migration to Blue Sky. I’m trying not to be bitter but when there’s a Black-owned and operated social media app right here but people still migrate to the mediocre white people, I get salty. #Spoutible01:42 AM - May 05, 2023

Tucker Carlson might be out at Fox News, but if you're counting on the network to suddenly start telling the truth, don't hold your breath.
As long as there’s money to be made by selling lies, weaponizing Trump's viciousness, and peddling conspiracies, Fox News will continue to do it.

This moment feels like when you're watching a cool doc or concert on PBS, and they interrupt it for a pledge drive. But it'd help us immensely to cover our costs & bring you new content. Through our fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas, all donations are tax-deductible. Donate link on profile. Thanks!

I don’t pretend to know the implications, but I’m surprised about the lack of journalism institutions that are standing up for NPR. I expected the big ones to tap out, maybe for a short time, in solidarity…

if you haven't listened to 1997's "Hopeless (As A Penny With A Hole In It)" in a long time, you should. Dionne Farris is far more influential than we discuss https://open.spotify.com/t... #blackwomen #soulmusic #90smusic

It's not going to be allowed. We will release the latest survey results on Monday, but I can say now it's not even close. This the second time the Spoutible community has said no to sexually explicit material. We will not revisit this again.

Everyone wants us to release an app ASAP and add their dream feature, and it's all coming soon. Just remember, Post News launched in November, and they still don't have an app, DMs, or even dark mode. I know it's hard to believe, but Spoutible is only 44 days old.

I would argue Art Deco skyscrapers were America's greatest contribution to the world of architecture
The skyscraper was born in America, after all, and was self-evidently the most modern of buildings. There had been libraries and universities before - but never skyscrapers. Big. Bold. Beautiful ❤

Today we honor Zola Taylor—the original female member of the legendary #doowop group, The Platters. Zola's lovely harmonies were integral to The Platters' early successes and inspired many other Black groups to add female singers. #HappyWomensHistoryMonth #blackmusicproject #music #singer

What is our community's unspoken narrative of Black childhood? Why are our children, regardless of age, expected to behave like adults?

Little Richard may be rock's most important figure. Because he truly embodied its essence: gender-bending blues and a dynamite mixture of gospel and the profane. Richard's influence is seen in Elvis, Jagger, Bowie, Prince, MJ, and countless others. This new doc sounds good! #BlackHistoryMonth

We wanted to understand why Elon Musk's decision to turn Twitter into an unusable hellscape might make good financial sense. So we talked to three unvaccinated Joe Rogan users at a Tesla charging station in Mountain View.

Our favorite fairy godfather, Tyler Perry has pledged $2.75 million to make sure elderly citizens on fixed incomes in Atlanta don't lose their homes.
The filmmaker has already donated $750,000 to cover back taxes and any increase in property taxes for 100 low-income Atlanta elders.
#TylerPerry 🙏

Sometime this year, SCOTUS will rule on 2 cases that could further undermine voting rights in this country. To understand what is at stake and why you should be paying attention to the efforts of marceelias and Democracy Docket, here's a profile of him I wrote last year.
