Watch Donald Glover’s appearance on the TODAY Show

"I always want to do music. I love music and I’m already putting out projects quietly everywhere and I want to produce, but I guess Childish Gambino is like a period in my art time. I want to have periods in my life. I feel like Childish Gambino is a period that should come to a close. I like endings."

More nostalgia when I was free in body and mind this past summer. Free styling and having fun. Don't kill my vibe!

[instajams5]

Feeling nostalgic for dance. I've been dancing through pain since the fall. And now I've had surgery and won't be able to do serious workouts or dance for 3-4 months. I'm hoping to come out of this experience more focused on fitness, health, movement, and exercising safely. I'm no pro, but I love dance and music and sharing that with others through teaching zumba and hip hop. I want to take more dance lessons once I'm all healed. Here is a freestyle from back in the summer when I was feeling pain free and a little sexy.

Wednesday night while I was awaiting my back surgery. Nerves and hunger were high. Temperature and wind chill were low. All went well.

63% of white people are wrong about Ferguson.

By Lisa Wade, PhD

A Pew study found that 63% of white and 20% of black people think that Michael Brown’s death at the hands of Darren Wilson is not about race.

Those people are wrong.

African Americans are, in fact, far more likely to be killed by police. Among young men, blacks are 21 times more likely to die at the hands of police than their white counterparts.

But, are they more likely to precipitate police violence?  No. The opposite is true. Police are more likely to kill black people regardless of what they are doing. In fact, “the less clear it is that force was necessary, the more likely the victim is to be black” (source).

That’s data from the FBI.

This question was also studied by sociologist Lance Hannon. With an analysis of over 950 non-justifiable homicides from police files, he tested whether black people were more likely to take actions that triggered their own murder. The answer was no. He found no evidence that blacks were more likely than whites to engage in verbal or physical antecedents that explained their death.

There is lots more evidence if one bothers to go looking for it.

So, no. Just… no.

This is about race. It is very, very obviously about race. It’s not a matter of opinion; it’s a scientific question that has been asked and answered.

I love Free Will Astrology. I know it's "pseudoscience," but it helps me put things in perspective.
