Just Announced: NEW DOCUSERIES - "MELISSA ETHERIDGE: I’M NOT... BROKEN" coming to Paramount+! MELISSA ETHERIDGE: I’M NOT BROKEN tells an inspiring story of healing and transcendence through the power of music when five female residents from the Topeka Correctional Facility, a women’s prison in Kansas, write letters to Etheridge that she uses as inspiration to create and perform an original song for them. “I’m excited for audiences to join me on this powerful journey and hear these remarkable stories filled with pain and struggle but also hope and healing. I hope that this docuseries shows viewers the challenges that women face in our prison system while also serving as a resource to those who currently are struggling." -Melissa Etheridge For more info, head to and follow along for the latest updates.show more

Polari. This is track 1 on the album and... is intended as a shot of adrenaline and jumpstart the car kind of introduction because I’m about to take you for a ride - it’s also a bit of an audio collage of all the music that follows so I’m very excited to put this out! Please enjoy!show more

I’m heartbroken. I don’t have many words other than... to say I’m truly devastated and deeply sorry to everyone who showed up to the main stage, and to those watching the livestream at home. Having the opportunity to perform the new ÆDEN show and share all the new music and art means more to me than I can express. It’s incredibly painful, especially after working day and night for the past year, not just me, but my team and the Coachella crew, who poured everything into this. Safety was and always will be our biggest concern. The dangerous winds not only prevented us and Coachella from building our stage, but also made it impossible for my entire live setup and performance to operate safely. Unfortunately, there are no other slots available for me to perform the ÆDEN show this weekend. I’m working on a solution to bring you some music at least, but I don’t want to impose on the other artists’ slots. Updates soon. I’m so sorry. Matteoshow more

JADE gets emotional reflecting on her North American tour... in a new TikTok: “I’m having so much fun on this tour. I just feel so grateful that I’m getting to do this at this point in my career. The fact that I get to tour [North America] after being in the industry for 15 years, and only now just getting to do my own headline tour, is incredible. It’s been a long time coming. What’s really beautiful about these shows is that when I look into the audience, I recognise so many of the fans here from back in the day, who’ve literally waited for years – like me! – for this moment. It just makes me feel so loved and supported to know people have believed in me enough to stick around for years waiting for this to happen. Anyone that’s bought a ticket, dressed up, made their own costumes… It’s just such a lovely, beautiful thing. I hope they can see when I’m on stage just how much that means to me, and how much I love performing and putting on the best show that I possibly can every single night. I will never ever take it for granted. I’m just so chuffed that I get to do this for a living… be a silly pop girlie, write and create music that brings people – and myself – a lot of joy… Thank you for believing in me. I literally get on the bunk on my bus most nights from the tour and just lie there like, ‘Oh my god! As if this is my life!’ It means a lot. I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life… Full of gratitude and lots of all the lovely emotions. Thank you so much.”show more

Now more than ever, it’s important for us to... continue to fight for what we believe in. And for me, I will not stop fighting for reproductive freedom. To continue this fight, I’m teaming up with Propeller to support Reproductive Freedom for All, an organization that fights for access to abortion, birth control, paid parental leave, and protection from pregnancy discrimination. Five people will be selected to win a copy of my latest record ‘The Lighthouse’ and a ‘Don’t Let Them Take Your Power’ t-shirt.

🔮Perisai Jitu🔮 NGL,this song truly reflects my feelings as... an entertainer. There are times when I have to keep smiling and spread happiness, even when I’m not feeling my best. But through that, I’ve realized something beautiful. how powerful a smile and positive energy can be, not just for others, but for myself too. Every time I’m in a bad mood, this song hits me right in the heart. Sometimes, I even end up crying while singing it. wwwww But that’s what makes it so special to me. I hope you guys love it as much as I do! ⬇️PRE-SAVE / PRE-ORDER⬇️show more

We are already at war. Not with rifles or... tanks, but with replacement. This is conquest by other means, through the slow erasure of a people who no longer recognize they are being conquered. That is why I write—to remind my people that we are not living in peace, but in the midst of a war waged without banners. The invasion is not declared with armies but with flights and boats, birthrates and welfare rolls. It is demographic warfare, calculated, continuous, and increasingly irreversible. A people, and a civilization, does not need to be burned to the ground to fall. It only needs to be replaced. Throughout the Western world, we are witnessing not mere immigration but a deliberate population transformation, one that has been rationalized by moral cowardice and enforced by political elites who have long since abandoned the idea that their nations belong to their people. What you mock as conquest is already underway, and unlike the conquests of old, it comes with the full consent of those in power. But I do not write in surrender. I write as a warning, as an act of resistance. My writing is meant to exhort and to enliven, to reawaken what has been buried beneath shame and silence. It is a summons to remember, to reclaim, and to rebuild. We are in an existential struggle, not only for our land, but for our survival, and thus for the future itself. Those who sneer at the loss will one day find there is nothing left to sneer at. A people who forget that they exist will be replaced by those who do not. You may call this natural. So be it. Then let nature return, red in tooth and claw, and let the sons of Europe remember who they are.show more

I don’t know if it’s courage, a desperate hope,... a fight for justice, or simply the struggle to survive, but what I do know is that it’s painful. Painful even to witness. Watching your own people like this,broken, silenced, grieving, shakes something deep inside you. It compels you to speak out, to risk your career, and to stand up for justice when silence is no longer an option. Baloch mothers and sisters carry the weight of generational grief. And it is the state that has burdened them with this pain. The families protesting in Islamabad are being punished not for any crime, but for refusing to give up. For still daring to hope. Their lives have been shattered. Justice denied in courtrooms. Dreams torn apart. Every breath is a battle for dignity. The few who dared to speak for them have been thrown behind bars. Their families are being targeted. Harassment and intimidation are at their peak. Yet they still came to Islamabad….to protest, to resist, to be seen. And what did they face? Threats. Silence. Erasure. They were not even allowed to set up camp under the punishing rain and scorching heat. The press club was fenced off to block their voices. They were evicted from their rented flats in the middle of the night. This is our history , a history of pain, of struggle, and of an unyielding hope for life. And it is also the history of Islamabad: denial, repression, torture, and the systematic refusal of justice. Yes, we carry our pain with pride. And while the state may wield the power of weapons, it will carry the shame of what it has done. #ReleaseBYCLeaders #EndEnforcedDisappearancesshow more

i’ve officially graduated with my PhD from the university... of maryland, college park. so thankful for this journey and all of the highs and lows that came with it. i’m also excited for what’s next to come in this new chapter. a black, banjee boy from opa-locka did his big one!!!show more

I mean you do have a very good point,... however I hope you can understand where I come from. (Sorry I’m advance for the long tweet back) This is exactly what I use to do when I was their age. We didn’t have the luxury of an independent scene we do now and even if we did I was 14 years old, I was only allowed to go to a training school to learn the basics. But I had an enormous passion for the business & if I wasn’t allowed to work shows I’d do it myself. - and I’d argue that because of this I had a head start on a lot of the people I trained with when I finally turned 18 From there I’ve been lucky enough to have the support of friends, peers & fans to push me into what I am today. The fact I’ve still had that same style for now 17 years and this is my first surgery, I think I’ve looked after my body. Think about it 17 years this is my first major injury. You think this is stupid, I would say it’s equally as stupid as to fall off a scaffolding breaking both your legs. And while I’m sure there’s a few people that wished you landed on your head, I for one hope you’re doing well & not in too much pain from your injury. But to me, it showed the care that you have for the industry at that time. I see myself in these guys that are finding any outlet to do what they love. Their bumps are solid & basing is great. Like I said I understand there is a level of danger doing this so I hope none of them get hurt but I can’t help but root for these guys and hope I one day see them in a ring. Once again sorry for the long arse tweet and hope the message finds you well boss.show more

I have some personal matters to take care of, and I’m also preparing to join a new filming project in the middle of the year. I’m also considering some scripts for future projects as well...”show more

I’m so happy to see a glimpse of SB19... and BE:FIRST’s rehearsal. 🥹✨ It’s heartwarming to witness the friendship and connection they built through “Toyfriend.” Their chemistry feels so natural and genuine, like it was meant to happen. As a Filipino living in Japan, this feels really special to me. 🫶🏻 Seeing BE:FIRST behind the scenes also made me appreciate them more beyond the stage. I stan both groups not just for their talent, but for their passion and purpose. They’re truly inspiring, and I’m grateful to witness this connection. 🤍✨ Watch full vlog here🔗:show more

I had the honor of being asked to tell... my story on Behind The Music. It was difficult, but also incredibly cathartic being able to reflect on my experiences, the incredible people I’m blessed to have in my life and most importantly, my bond with my father. I don’t normally talk so openly about things, so this was new for me. Thank you to Alex Castino for making the process as easy and as comfortable as possible and thank you to Behind The Music and Paramount+ for deciding that my story is worth telling. It’s available to watch now on Paramount+. Season 2, Episode 3. Thank you ☮️❤️ #behindthemusic #paramountplus #wolfgangvanhalen #mammothwvhshow more

Haven’t had a drink in about 4 months and... figured why not let loose, I’m on vacation right? I let a little too loose, I’m an all or nothing kind of individual and that includes alcohol. I’m dumping the rest of this bottle. it’s not for me and the last couple nights reinforced that. I’m not trying to be a preachy tea totaler or one of those people whose identity is built around their sobriety. I just know for me, abstinence is the best strategy for ME!show more

🕊️ In the heart of Gaza, heavy with pain... and suffering, where massacres are renewed and innocent souls are lost, I found myself surrounded by unheard cries—only audible to those who seek to save the remnants of life.🥹😢💔 Today, as shells rain down on our homes, I came across a small, injured cat, unable to walk due to the devastation wrought by war.😭😫💔💔 This is not just a cat; it’s a symbol of vulnerability and hope in a time that embodies cruelty. Her eyes reflect deep sorrow, but within that sorrow lies a flicker of hope. I have decided to take her to the veterinarian because every single life deserves a fight for survival, just as we battle for our people.😢🐾🆘💔If we hope for a better tomorrow, we must extend our hands to every living being. Animals also feel pain and loss, and they are victims of a reality they did not choose. Let us unite to be a voice for the voiceless, and let each of us be a bridge between hope and action.🐾🆘🙏🫂💕 I need your support in this humanitarian struggle. Spread the word, and be a beacon of hope amid the darkness.💔🐾 #GazaUnderFire #SaveTheAnimals #Humanity PayPal: GFM:show more

It’s more than a little daunting to set out... to expand and improve the identity system for a company and brand like Stripe. But we knew we had to — the existing one had served us well, but wasn’t up to the task anymore. Our brand system required new and improved tools to scale with our ever growing audiences, new products, global footprint, and more. This update introduces material improvements to infographics, advertising, type styles, and more. While the wordmark remains unchanged, we’re using the dot of the ‘i’ (called the “tittle”), a parallelogram pointing up and to the right, to serve as our identifying symbol. We’re also using it as an ever evolving storytelling device to use when talking about our many great users (you can see the latest brand campaign in SF and NYC doing just that). Anyone who has ever worked on the refresh and expansion of an existing system for a large company knows that it is no small endeavor. Crafting impactful solutions, building alignment, creating extensible guidelines, building toolkits, and orchestrating rollout requires a ton of resilience. Here’s to the team that continually inspires me with their dedication, rigor, taste, and exceptional vibes. Great work and thank you to the Brand Studio folks, and of course our many many amazing and invaluable friends and collaborators across the company who all helped shape the work. And a special thank you to a handful of creative agencies that helped us along the way.show more

It’s Christmas, and I hope you’re spending it with... people you love. I’m over here getting ready to keep fighting in the new year for women’s safety and other issues our country needs to address. All I want for Christmas is for little girls and women to be safe. If you’d like to support me, grab yourself a copy of my song “Bad Vibes” and keep those bad vibes away this holiday. Merry Christmas!!!show more

“I DON’T NEED NO MAN”-Black American women This mentality... of not needing a man That has been said and installed In black girls/womens minds for decades now has plagued the community With single homes and boys that have to go to the army to learn discipline Do black women have a lot of good options in the black community dating wise? NO Because so many black men have been plagued with street nigga culture Which leads them to prison or death And so many can’t keep a decent job And provide well enough to get respect I LOVE ANGEL REESE BUT WHEN SHE SAYS THIS I FEEL LIKE IT’S MORE OF LIKE A REPETITIOUS QUOTE FROM SISTERS THAT GOES BACK FOR DECADES BECAUSE SO MANY SISTERS HAD TO DO IT BY THEMSELVES THAT THEY GOT USED TOO IT BUT THAT DON’T MEAN THAT WE ARE PRODUCING THE BEST NEVER GENERATION IF THEY ARE ALL COMING FROM BROKEN HOMES WHERE THE FATHERS ARE SEEN AS AFTER THOUGHTS INSTEAD OF MEN THAT ARE NEEDED IN THE HOME JUST AS MUCH AS THE MOTHERS TO PROVIDE THE KIDS WITH ADEQUATE DISCIPLINE AND OTHER SKILLS ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG MENshow more
