Episode 332: Sameness

The ridiculous pressures we put ourselves under to send children back to school. The pressures to not be different. One of the books I'm reading:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6114607-the-midwifeA friend suggested I include my Etsy shop here and I forgot! I always seem in the flow of the topics and don't want to push either my Patreon or other links to distract.  Of course, the pieces are all unique and different. https://www.etsy.com/ie/shop/DrNaoise?fbclid=IwAR1ZRJcQmsasFXH59_n_ZGBEVn8izReMtAueOayITbMIa8rrtp2_1CIVe78My Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/user?u=48642261

Episode 329: Black Elvis

**there was a mistake in one of the track links so I had to repost the episode (sorry)I don't want to go back and edit this as the energy is there for what I want to talk about and I don't talk enough about the demon of white money ... and when I say Black people are doing well, thriving it's all relative and a totally uneven world. I'm aware of that but I want to keep the energy of the passion in what I do talk about and not overlook my mistakes or the assumptions you might think I make that I don't in fact - I just feel there is a greater richness in the world than white money. The tracks in order of listening to hear the lost soul;https://open.spotify.com/track/5j8cflZIx0GwvlkzPImbtKhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0pwDaXboNy1UALAl3ZOZOFhttps://open.spotify.com/track/1mKhiITXCIpves7QbT4xo7?si=ff43495b62f74c6awhite Elvishttps://open.spotify.com/track/6lSGhstIFdvPT0mYbTM6Y2return of his soulhttps://open.spotify.com/track/1Uxk2dxmATlKH5quLX2iFGElmore Jameshttps://open.spotify.com/track/0fM0mFxHP1R4KPX1PB8tWU?si=9733ad34baf54094Bell Hooks:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/250792Vanity Fair article on how Balck artists truthfully felt about Elvis;https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/06/elvis-biopic-black-musiciansBig Mama Thornton only got $500 for Hound DogHer version!https://open.spotify.com/track/5Oc0vLGWdEWeCqIU8zyELt?si=d03f823d70214f8f
