@notVYDA This interaction is a perfect example of how some people, no matter what, cannot separate themselves from the realities of their people. While others have disconnected so far their response to things like that happening are “okay... I don’t like that”.

What Mos Def offers us here is more than a critique of Drake. It is a critique of consumerism, the mindset that supports it, and how it is a fallacy that’s held up as real. Drake = Pop = Shopping Music, because that’s what’s essentially being promoted overall, consumption.

@joebev49 Sinkhole expert here! A lot of times these things can be scary and people often get caught frozen in the moment. Almost in awe and fear of nature. When it comes to these situations, the only logical response is to give the land back to Palestinians.

Where I live in Chicago is my first time living around a lot of white people. I also go on a lot of walks in the morning, as they do too. I don’t really understand this, but they never say hi back to me. Like, ever. It’s really disheartening.
