I got a taste for vegan Oat Nog and made it for the first time. Y'all, it's so good it makes me want to do the Holy Ghost dance in my kitchen. I'm just saying. #vegan

This is a REPOSTING of the essay I wrote on behalf of Hoodoo Heritage Month. It's about how our Inner Children use storytelling to break the dysfunctional family cycle for Black trans & non-binary survivors. I hope it resonates. #writer

My survival is in your hands My name is Bilal, I count twenty years of my life, but what I have experienced in these years is enough to write a whole biography — a life I have not lived.

I'm sharing this fundraiser on behalf of Bilal, who is surviving in Gaza. If you can spread the word or donate, please do so. #freepalestine

Afro-Surrealism: Embracing & Reconstructing the Absurdity of “Right Now” Surrealism is described as a 20th-century unusual or unconventional art movement that serves the purpose of releasing creative expression…

I found this article about Afro-Surrealism and the Black Speculative Arts Movement, which is something I want to be a part of. Anyway, I have some great titles in here to take note of. #BlackSpeculativeFictionMonth

Just got my SIGNED copy of @saramakeba's Sankofa Shadow Work in the mail today! I'm ready to dig into it. #writers

The cover of FF#26. On it, a woman's face is surrounded by shards of glass, each of which contain an eye of their own, and broken fragments of a noh mask. A list of contributors is overlaid on the image: A.D. Sui S.L. Harris D.A. Straith Leo Oliveira Cressida Roe Nkereuwem Albert Emma Russell-Trione Nana Afadua Ofori-Atta

Exact release date is still TBD, but now that it's October it's time to get excited for FF#26, which you'll be able to get before the month is through!

It’s Hoodoo Heritage Month, October is also Black Speculative Fiction Month. Black Speculative Fiction is a form of Conjure in itself.

High John De Conqueror by Zora Neale Hurston is an example. #writer

Horror Handbook: Werewolves - Flesh & Fury The subgenre that always grows back stronger (and hairier).

I love everything about this article. I love werewolves because, for me, they represent the rarest of our anger that no longer allows itself to be suppressed either by society or the humans insistence on policing or bypassing their emotions.

Really well-written article about Queer Black women representation (or lack thereof) in Black American Gothic.
This article was published in 2019. I wonder if there’s any Black Southern Gothic books with Black queer representation that have since been released.

Dear youngs,

That wire thing on top of the tv was called an antenna, and you'd often have to move it all around to catch the signal for the channel you wanted to watch.

digital censorship of LGBT works is EASY and that's what these companies are doing. Make your work available in print, make sure you have it saved/stored in multiple places. Don't let this snuff you out.
