We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
I feel like Substack is now, in many ways, the vanguard of music criticism in which both pros like Greil Marcus, Nelson George, Ted Gioia, Robert Christgau and David Cantwell (and many, many others) and aspiring critics (I don't hesitate in calling myself a music critic - that's where I hope to go one day) can thrive. The diversity of writing and coverage is awe-inspiring. Probably the best music publication there is these days.
Also love the inclusion of the clip from Elvis' Comeback Special - part of my favourite moment from the special. The whole gospel medley from which 'Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Clip' and "Where Do I Go But To the Lord' comes from (after these two songs, there's a quick appearance of 'Up Above My Head,' then a short transitional piece written by W. Earl Brown, the writer of 'If I Could Dream,' and then Leiber and Stoller's 'Saved') is incredible - Elvis is singing like his very life is on the line (it kind of was).
Having lived in Rome for 4 years, I can personally attest to most of these
