Katarina is just a silly, cute, naive cat girl who happens to have been created to be the ultimate assassin. She was made using DNA from her

Happy trans day of visibility! I'm a trans author, and my novel Genetically Enhanced Cat Girl Assassin can be read *for free* on Royal Road!

Katarina is just a silly, cute, naive cat girl who happens to have been created to be the ultimate assassin. She was made using DNA from her father's dead daughter and cat, and though she has no real connection to them, she still has nightmares of the day that they died. Her mother is sick, so Katarina has started working as an assassin to help pay for her medical care, as well as her father's research into an eventual cure.

In honor of Juneteenth, I compiled some great songs by black artists

I highlight genres other than rap/hip-hop, as I don't see them get enough love from non-black people. If the list seems overwhelming, I'd recommend picking a genre of your liking, or the songs marked blue, which are my personal favorites. Hopefully, you find some new music and add a couple of these to your playlists

Jazz: Lester Leaps in [Live at Carnegie Hall] by Charlie Parker (1949); The Star-Crossed Lovers (aka Pretty Girl) by Duke Ellington (1957); Springsville by Miles Davis (1957); Speak No Evil by Wayne Shorter (1966); The Black Messiah [Live at The Troubador] by Cannonball Adderley (1971)

Vocal Jazz: Unforgettable by Nat King Cole (1954); Autumn in New York by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong (1957); Lover Man by Billie Holiday (1958); Don't Go To Strangers by Etta Jones (1960); Work Song by Nina Simone (1967)

Listen and support black musicians, and the black people around you, specially those close to you. Listening to music is not doing enough to support or boost black people's voices, so, please read and share what they have to say, particularly today, while also respecting and immersing yourself in their art and culture

Remember that the roots of these genres are black (which made me realize I missed rock and roll). I added a section for some rock and also for indie rap. Uplift independent black artists and respect the classics, and support them however you can

Rock: Hound Dog by Big Mama Thornton (1951); No Particular Place To Go by Chuck Berry (1964); Come On (Let the Good Times Roll) by The Jimi Hendrix Experience (1968); Purple Rain by Prince and the Revolution (1984); Daddy Mama Drama by Teezo Touchdown (2023)

Psych rock: Bad Trip by Bo Diddley (1972); Blues From Down Here by TV On The Radio (2006); PrettyGirlz by WILLOW (2019); Noid by Yves Tumor (2018); Clay Pigeon by binki (2021)

Punk rock: Attitude by Bad Brains (1982); Lame Brain by Pure Hell (2006); Politicians In My Eyes by Death (2009); Buckshot by The 1865 (2019); Puzzles by Nova Twins (2022)

Indie rap: Arugula by Junglepussy (2020); It's Not My Choice (ft. Blood Orange) by Mykki Blanco (2021); saccharine by kiwifroot (2022); 100K by OSHUN (2021); Toga by Kenarri (2023)

I missed lots of great bands like Mandarin or Funkadelic/Parliament, and essential musicians that are more well-known like Stevie Wonder, so feel free to add any of your favorite songs (especially obscure and independent black artists)

As a latin american girl, I wish black people a happy Juneteenth!

I appreciate the effort that went into this so much! Here are the songs above in playlist form:

Spotify

Apple Music

I don’t have many recs (edit: lmao) but I adore these albums. These links work on all streaming platforms btw!!

Nubiyan Twist’s Find Your Flame (2024) - utterly gorgeous neo-jazz. Absolutely worth a listen

CHIKA’s SAMSON: THE ALBUM (2023) - Requiem for a Dream and Prodigy bounce around my head literally every day. This is my go-to album to do anything to

Arlo Park’s My Soft Machine (2023) - I love her indie pop so much!! Purple Phase and Weightless are so good

Obongjayar’s Some Nights I Dream Of Doors (2022) - From the empowering Try to the righteous Message In A Hammer to the mellow I Wish It Was Me… I’ve loved this guy’s music ever since his first album in 2020

HIND'S HALL IS NOW AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY!! all proceeds from streaming will be donated to the UNRWA

phoenixyfriend

Pro-Palestine music as protest has been a thing for ages but nothing prepared me for "Hind's Hall" by Macklemore, which has both some great lyrics, some great commentary on protests at Columbia, and for which ALL PROCEEDS GO TO UNRWA.

You don't gotta like his music, but damn. Gotta admit Macklemore has been putting his money where his mouth is for months on this issue.

You can donate directly to UNRWA on their website.

It's not yet on streaming platforms but I heard a snippet in Democracy Now, and he posted part of it to Twitter/X.

I will disclaim that I disagree with the "not voting for Biden" thing, due to the fact that I personally believe that the American political system forces a Lesser Evil approach. I understand the intent, but I do disagree on a personal and political level.

ex0skeletal-undead

psst, tumblr just quietly rolled out collaboration with ai training models, and it's opt-out, not opt-in, go into your blog settings to fix it [on desktop, anyway, dunno where you'd look on mobile] keep fighting the good fight <3

I don't see an option for it now, so it may not have rolled out for everyone yet? Unless I'm just missing where it is
