Dr. Toni Morrison, on the racist construct of whiteness:

BOYCOTT TESLA #teslatakedown

Such a dope question. Appreciate his reflection on it

I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help. Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

The best way to fight back against Musk: Don’t buy a Tesla. (And if you own one, sell it.)

The company was already in a precarious position before Musk launched his assault on democracy. A Tesla boycott would be devastating – and richly deserved.

Me, in Slate 🧵

Office Hours - Episode 12: Effective Collaborations Episode 12: Effective Collaborations Relationships are everything, and in this episode of Office Hours, Nora Rahimian and Michael Stover talk about how to turn yours into effective collaborations. We talk about identifying potential collaborators, making effective asks, and leveraging the relationship. Plus, we answer audience questions live. Do you have collaboration success stories? What's worked (or hasn't worked) for you? Share your own experiences, or let us know what topics you'd like us to talk about on the next episode of Office Hours with Nora & Sto. Nora and Sto met on Twitter, where they bonded over a love of hip hop and a belief that, with the right information, independent musicians could build successful careers for themselves. Disappointed after seeing so many “industry experts” promise big returns without offering any applicable tactics, Nora and Sto started Office Hours to empower artists with specific, practical information that they could start implementing right away. With over 20 years of experience between them, Nora and Sto want to break down the barriers in creative industries and make information and support accessible to everyone.

The music business is all about relationships and collaborations.
