Enchanté

We've someone we would like you to meet. Her name is Jean Deaux, and she does a lot. And when we say a lot, we mean a lot: she is a Chicago-based artist, musician, and filmmaker, spanning genres and disciplines, and a trendsetter in the Black queer community. She even has a Tumblr, as luck would have it, which you can find at @thedeauxdiaries. We think you'll get on just great. 

She released the video for "Roll With Me" today. It comes from her new EP, Nowhere Fast, a record that explores themes of fears of intimacy, stagnation and returning, and chasing your dreams.

At this point, we would like to write something clever about themes of intimacy and its fears, stagnation and returning, and chasing your dreams. But why would we do that when we can leave it to Jean Deaux herself?

Nowhere Fast is out now. If you're fearing intimacy, feeling stagnant and getting back to yourself, or pursuing your dreams, this is a record for all y'all. It's a record that shows, despite these challenges, you can always create something from it.

before my return to dance class tonight, i do want to make my one... half-sincere complaint

since the dance class is mostly older women, their preference for music is... older and our dance teacher loves to cater to that

which is great, i'm actually discovering a lot of hip hop music that was "before" my time OR i'm rediscovering music that i heard as a kid/teenager but just didn't follow up on

but........ idk sometimes i wanna do a class to something a bit more recent! i wanna do a bree runway routine! i want to hear some flo milli shit! the closest we get to "modern" hip hop is like 2008.... like please so many interesting things have been done to the genre since then i am begginggggg

Frank you seem to be confusing Homestuck with Homestar Runner. Do you know what Homestar Runner is? Stuff like the Strong Bad emails, or "sbemails" for short. If you don't know what Homestar Runner is that's ok! But it IS different from Homestuck.

Oh, thanks for telling me, that makes sense
