I learned about Kamasi after he worked with a few of my favorite artists (Kendrick, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, St. Vincent) throughout the 2010s and his solo stuff is pretty great. I like all of his albums, but Harmony of Difference is special for me since it's the first one I listened to

"Ｌｏｖｉｎｇ ｙｏｕ ｉｓ ｃｏｍｐｌｉｃａｔｅｄ"
a concept album that weaves a soul, funk and jazz infused narrative with the rapper's struggles balancing the discriminated background he came from versus the hypocritical position of power he ended up in
yeah yeah, everybody and their mama has talked about this album, we all know it's good, what else is there to say? well namely, a decade later, this album is not only as poignant as ever, but it truly feels like it will become timeless
the cohesiveness and the way it truly feels like you're being taken on a hero's journey is where this thing truly shines. the narrative crafting on this is something you almost never see anymore. the LYRICAL MOTIFS my god
and even if it didn't have all that, it's got hits!! alright? these walls? king kunta? wesley's theory? like come awn
i still cry to u every fucking time i listen to it
anyways yeah it's good not news keep it movin
(my absolutely chaotic evil thought is that somebody should adapt this into a musical like green day's american idiot it probably won't be good but i'm morbidly curious)

👦I’m not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But it’s pretty extreme when people say they ”hate kids” and I often feel it’s a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids “should be.” That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
It’s fucking hard to be a kid. You’re dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. It’s confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when they‘re brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe that’s the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
