Are you afraid of falling in love?

when i learned of a male spider that, in the beginning of the mating process, would be devoured by his mate, whom he would impregnate from within, i knew what love was, and since then have never loved anyone who did not, on some fundamental level, terrify me; yes, i am terrified -- my breath shortening, my tongue swelling, my mouth drying, my heart racing, my nerves tingling, my back tightening -- or else i haven't fallen in love at all.

Do you prefer very spicy or non-spicy food?

spicy, like any true san diegan. spicy, like any grandson of lousiana and florida blackfolk. it's gotta be a real flavorful spice, though.

whats your favorite song right now?

yasiin bey's "quiet dog bite hard." here's a link that works today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkThHiRt0mIspnch’s Video 121566339687 wkThHiRt0mIspnch’s Video 121566339687 wkThHiRt0mI
the version appearing on the remix album "the recstatic" has a brighter sound to it and i prefer that one but youtube didn't have it and i've already spent a lot of time deciding what song is my favorite right now (other candidates: run the jewels' "early", cibo matto's "birthday cake", blondie's "rifle range", aretha's "chain of fools", nina simone's version of "house of the rising sun" (note: every cishet white man who's covered this song is bullshit, except dylan when i'm feeling generous))
the arrangement is very minimal -- percussions and a voice. bey's voice and delivery are immaculate in this song, chanting till he really gets you in the base of the spine and you are going to dance. it is party music, it's quick and clever, it's jazz, it's drenched in the aesthetic of the diaspora and feels like a home i maybe knew once when i was seven.
