This is when you let artist speak and teach yall literacy:
And if the last screen don’t provide the whistle then idk what to tell yall…..
I pray for us to understand how they play in our faces everywhere and in every walk of life.

Ms. Shirley was such an inspiration. I can’t believe she’s gone! Praying for her family & all the communities she’s impacted.

The reason why Black Americans are getting so much push-back for delineating is because we are actively experiencing an ethnocide. They are trying to erase not only the Black American ethnic identity but also our culture, and history.

Ain’t no “we” that’s yalls powerful industry heads and business partners accepting anything and turning down authenticity. Be outraged with your friends who are allowing the shit.

i'm all for conservatory-like spaces that are educational, but i'm also for community center spaces. if folks want to teach and sing the gospel tradition without sermons/doctrine involved, somebody gotta step up and make it happen. we been discussing this for years 😭

D’Angelo was one of a kind. As a pioneer in neo-soul, he inspired a generation of singers, and helped shape music today. Michelle and I are thinking of his family, and all those who loved and admired him. nytimes.com/2025/10/14/arts/…

-Artist-in-res @acehotel x @FWBtweets
-Co-sign from @Timbaland

-“WHO I AM” in @NWSL ad
-Named @splice Producer to Watch 2025
-Shot visualizers every weekend

-Featured in @netflix doc “Minted”
-My engagement across platforms is over 1M
-And I'm outside
Artists are the real platforms.
Now imagine if you invested in them.
The ROI is different cause it connects to real people, with love for the art, the culture and the tools, not speculation. We need to think bigger.

i feel like being spicy.
so here's where web3 messed up and why we are building @stayinprocess:
1. Virality ≠ Community
chasing virality built a speculative audience, not a real one. people came for flips, not for feels. and when the hype died, so did the “community.”
2. Tools lacked soul
we kept building tech for tech’s sake. no rituals. no emotion. no real culture. tools dropped with no heart, no onboarding, no love. people don’t stay where they don’t feel.
3. Jargon ≠ Accessibility
"onchain," "mint," "modular" — we spoke like a secret club. but movements move when they invite. not when they alienate.
4. Too many pivots, no vision
we pivoted for capital, not for truth. and when you're always changing the game to please investors, you forget why you started playing.
5. Clout over Craft
we prioritized presence over process. hyped creators over honest ones. loud over layered. art became content, and content became noise.
→ solution: fund depth. back artists who are building something lasting—not just trending.
6. Events over ecosystems
everyone threw parties but forgot to plant gardens. flashy, fleeting vibes with no follow-through.
→ solution: design for return. build experiences people want to revisit, not just attend once.
7. No protection or education for the vulnerable
scammers ran free. the same marginalized folks the movement claimed to uplift were left unprotected, unheld.
→ solution: ethics and care infrastructure. moderation, safety nets, clear values.
8. "Decentralized" in name only
power just shifted hands—not disappeared. founders became the new gods.
→ solution: give tools and decision-making power to communities. not just tokens—real say.
10. No memory
web3 moved so fast it forgot itself. every few months was a new season of a show with no storyline.
→ solution: archive. reflect. create living lore. let people enter the story and grow with it.
We're coming for you tho. @stayinprocess @TopiaTV

And here is something interested parties can access/read right now!
“…impossible to realize…”
“Everything in man's discourse can be viewed as a desperate attempt to cover over that sore point, that impossible-to-attain ideal position of the master.”
“A similarly paradoxical situation arises in the case of object (a): just as Lacan puts forward object (a) as the breakdown of language itself, and as such an aspect of the real as the impossible, as that which does not work, at the same time Lacan talks about it and discusses it from every angle, explaining its avatars, its effects, etc. ad infinitum.”
Fink, B. (1991). There's no such thing as a sexual relationship: Existence and the formulas of sexuation. Newsletter of the Freudian Field, 5(2), 59-85.
