Over half a million Black Rosies worked in WWII factories, shipyards, and offices, fighting both fascism abroad and racism at home. Their contributions helped win the war and paved the way for civil rights. Their story is not just Black history—it’s American history. #BlackHistoryMonth

I imagine Twitter was particularly horrible after the halftime show.

Many people are past a point of empathy. They’ve said and heard the quiet things loud too many times for too long now. So the hostility in the words and actions? It’s real. It is wrath. And it’s probably past the point where we should absolutely be taking it at face value.

Keep em coming!

Today at Common Tread, see Dustin's test ride of the Triumph Tiger Sport 800, a #motorcycle many of our readers have been anticipating. It may look like the smaller 660, but the 800 is a Tiger with its own stripes. #motosky 🏍️ www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

I improvised a little 12-bar blues last night that went a sorta like this:

Any chance this might get re-published as a kindle e-book?
