@KendrickLamar made my year with simply being able to see him perform live. He blessed the Soundset 2012 East stage. I was most excited to see him perform and it was well worth the wait. This guy is amazing. He’s what the West has been missing for a long time. HiiiPoWer.

So much history here…

Went to Coptic Egypt/Church of St. George today. Apparently Jesus was raised in the room I was standing in.

Epic.

Feminism: A Movement To End Sexist Oppression by bell hooks. Awhile ago @MisterGame7 inquired about the definition of “feminism” on twitter and we had a discussion. Here’s some text from bell hooks on the definition and the importance of eradicating false definitions of the concept. Read.

"Relationships are treated like Dixie cups. They are the same. They are disposable. If it does not work, drop it, throw it away, get another.
Committed bonds (including marriage) cannot last when this is the prevailing logic. Most of us are unclear about what to do to protect and strengthen caring bonds when our self-centered needs are not being met."

The Loneliest Whale in the World.
In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem:
She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.
