Sonho... :(

[cakellerman]

É cara, você namorava uma mina incrível. Incrível mesmo, linda demais, companheira, amiga, mandona, e tudo o que você precisasse. Ela sabia ser tudo por você. Ela fazia tudo por você. E você sempre foi um idiota, como todos os outros idiotas do mundo que quebram o coração de uma garota. Mas pra ela, você não era um idiota qualquer, você era o idiota dela. Ela cuidava de você e te mimava. Ela não sabe escrever um texto muito bem, mas ela sempre demonstrou através de gestos e atitudes o quanto você era importante pra ela. Ela não sabe cozinhar, nem dobrar roupa, mas vocês sempre ficavam juntos na bagunça e planejando um futuro no qual vocês se casariam e teriam filhos, né? Porra, vocês faziam planos juntos. E você meu caro, estragou tudo. Não deu valor. Jogou fora aquele amor bonito por nada. Brincou com a mina mais encantadora do mundo. Deixou ela ir embora, quer dizer, deu motivos pra ela ir e desistir de você. Na verdade, ela nunca desistiu, ela nunca desistiria, mas você foi lá e acabou com tudo. Fez ela chorar na frente da família, fez ela ficar mal como ela nunca tinha ficado. Pisou na bola, perdeu. E sabe, você não tem nem o direito de reclamar. Perdeu ela. Agora ela está seguindo sem o idiota dela, porque esse idiota quis ser idiota demais. Você não vai ser mais o motivo do sorriso dela e nem vai vê-la sorrir. Puta merda. Não sabe se ela vai sentir sua falta, não sabe se ela vai se lembrar do seu jeito “crianção-bobalhão”, mas aposto que não da pra você esquecer nenhum segundo o sorriso que ela dava. Cada mania, cada manha, cada coisinha que você passou com ela, nada disso vai sair de você. Ela sempre vai ser parte da sua vida. Mas infelizmente, você a perdeu.

Going through Ye Olde Review Blog, and I found a black female scientist by the name of Charlene Masters (played by Janet MacLachlan) on TOS’ season one, episode twenty, “The Alternative Factor.” Her assistant is a white male, and I can just hear those late-sixties network executives fuming about how you can’t have a black female scientist on tv, and Gene Roddenberry laughing, “the hell I can’t!”

In conversation with Dr. Kenneth Clark, James Baldwin talks about the “Negro and the American Promise.” Interview produced by the Boston public television station, WGBH in 1963.

“….. and there are days – this is one of them, when you wonder, what your role is in this country and what your future is in it. How, precisely, are you going to reconcile yourself to your situation here and how you are going to communicate to the vast, heedless, unthinking, cruel, white majority, that you are here? And to be here means that you can’t be anywhere else.”

Featuring the song “I Miss You” from the studio album by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes (1972) Audio by Gabriel @geerhodes

Winston Hubert McIntosh, known to all music fans as Peter Tosh, was born on today’s date 71 years ago in Kingston, Jamaica. Peter gained superstardom as a member of the Wailers with Bob Marley, and in 1976 released his solo debut on Columbia, the immortal “Legalize It.” In today’s image from the archives, Peter (at right) stops by a New York City record store in May of 1977 to sign copies of his second release, “Equal Rights.”

Scene after scene, this video reminded me that our lives and culture matter. The most empowering part of the video is seeing a group of Black women working as a unit in a formation. They move together in sync as one. The video is absolutely an homage to Black lives.

“My music is addressed to my people… deliberately to provoke this feeling of ‘Who am I? Where did I come from? Do I really like me, and why do I like me? And if I am black and beautiful, I really am and I know it, and I don’t care who says what.’ That’s what my songs are about…Though I hope that in their musical concept, and in their musical form and power, that they will also live on after I die.” - Nina Simone, 1969

From Alan Light comes a biography of incandescent soul singer and Black Power icon Nina Simone, one of the most influential, provocative, and least understood artists of our time. WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE?, the essential companion to the Oscar-nominated Netflix documentary, is available now everywhere books are sold. Read an excerpt and get the book here.
