You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.
Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day
Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:
“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”
Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land"

Day 1 of 7: “Uuli”
In Samoan, “Uuli” means black, not just a color, but a presence. A foundation. A story told in skin, in sound, in stillness.
“Uuli” opens this 7 day series of seated Black ballerinas with grace that doesn’t ask for permission. portraitsbytl.etsy.com
Looks like the joke’s on them.
Tweet from Simone Biles @Riley_Gaines_ You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!! But instead... You bully them... One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!! Riley Gaines @ € @Riley_Gaines_•7h Comments off lol To be expected when your star player is a boy x.com/mshsl/status/1...
I love it when a bitter fifth-place finisher who’s only known for campaigning against transgender people gets schooled by one of the most decorated female athletes of all time who has 11 Olympic medals and 30 world championship medals. 🥇
Reminder that California subsidizes red states.
Straight up propaganda‼️
I’m so glad he is calling them out‼️
