Did I ever share this collaboration I did with Zeno Group this year celebrating 100 years of Black Creativity and Cultural Influence? www.zenogroup.com/insights/cen...

🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾 Made the cut !!!

"Looking to both history and the present moment, FOREVER FOR THE CULTURE is an essential meditation on who builds culture online, who profits from it, and what it means to preserve Black creative genius in real time." @blaqueword.blacksky.app. It's a pleasure to see this book featured on the list!

Got tired of publishing being "in such a weird, unprecedented place" and decided to just kickstart this book. 💜

They reached the peak of the toxicity on there with the supremetingz stuff

Supremetingz and this Joshua thing going too far leave that boy alone.

I just found the moodboard I made for my MC for Ashe of the Country 😮‍💨 Wish there was more market for high concept Black fantasy #sff #blackbooks #fantasy

Bet! So FOREVER FOR THE CULTURE: NOTES FROM THE NEW BLACK DIGITAL ARTS RENAISSANCE was selected to be featured at #CultureCon bookstore this year! Make sure to grab your copy and to support my fellow amazing Black Authors when walking the halls. Thank you!

The pride and love I have for Lil Nas X is encapsulated in an entire chapter of Forever for the Culture

A Different World got me thinking of my college life lmao

Writing Day at the Cafe

Is there a way to follow people i follow here on #BlackSky?

You might recognize a certain pro-Black hyperopinionated self righteous Author on a bookshelf at Culture Con. 💜

My community of Black Authors and Booksellers have really come thru for me with hearts and advocacy of action in light of recent news that will soon be shared. I felt like a failure. I still do. But that is the insidiousness of the machine grinding creativity through tied hands and cold platitudes.

Bluesky is so damn sensitive.

A list of comic characters people didn't know were sorcerers

I can either finish this chapter of my Middle Grade Coming of Age Horror, I can finish the comic pitch or I can finish this pilot. All three cannot be done today I fear.

And when I say I love Step Up I mean all the movies except the first. I LITERALLY cant remember what happened in ts. I think Mario was in it or something.

Who do i have to bribe to write some Magic the Gathering stories?!

Since when did mentorship preface itself with breaking your spirit?

Aint no way John let a Funko Pop talk to him like that #Lanterns

Loving these ATL pride videos. It really shows the togetherness of our community. 😊

And let it be known: yes, all Black nerd creatives know each other and talk and ride for each other. So come correct or you will be traveling alone.

Fatphobia in Black Queer Men of LA?!

There is a difference between being someone who cares about good things, being someone who desires good treatment and being a good person.

Good Morning

Everyone pretended to read White Fragility in 2019 but can't act like the words sunk in?

A Black woman observing Hal Jordan was racist for that line and behavior is really as plain as a bird noting a cat just purred. Because that line was a racist macroaggression. Not micro. That shit was overt and obnoxious.

And when i say i dont care about final boys in horror, I dont mean the Hyper Competent Black boys who survived by saying fuck alluvthat kiddy shit

Good News! We've reached UNLIMITED. We've had so many additions to the Black Author Starter Pack that we have hit the 150 person limit. It's time for Season 2 of the Black Author Starter Pack. Support Black voices. Hit Follow All. #addtoBlackSky #AddtoBookSky go.bsky.app/DG2Xdpt

Someone show me their writers personal statement for Residencies and Grants. 🥴

DOLLY PARTON DONE WENT TO GLORY!

Dolly Parton gone?!?

Me and that Mouse have a shared fondness for stories.

RIP to the real

The way I realized Zeus Network and Dropout are using the exact same streaming platform/layout, but I have no one to talk to ab it lmaoooo

No duh.

I think Facebook does this as well, except it effects Republicans more because the pro GOP content is all slop now. It helps even more that Facebook has auto-reply Ai. The volume you can fight with strangers using utter nonsense is mind melting, and the content keeps flowing.

THEY CUT THIS FROM CAMP ROCK 3?! NIECE GOOPED

RP or like if you’re a trans ally too.
