👇🏾 only one opening left, but if it fits, you gotta submit

As long as everybody keeps thinking the hell of "back to normal," is the best we can do, we'll never get better.

"We are not our ancestors" is not gonna yet us through this moment. You better wish you were your ancestors who survived the middle passage, chattel slavery, who consistently revolted, who made ways as maroons. We definitely need to connect with Black legacies of survival for now.

Rude af, i want to believe

Debunking claim hacker Eric Brown Jr. approved requests for Mississippi food stamps Rumors about the alleged modern-day Robin Hood have circulated for years.

Unfortunately this one's a hoax, but hey, maybe some one will be inspired

Baycon Afrofuturism Lounge 2025 - Black Poetics: Subtext in Black Fiction YouTube video by Erin Brown

Happening right now: youtu.be/l-ZHEqGwG-0?...

Lol! Nah, the thing they know is that we're a bunch of suckers that will drag a hose out and refill the puddle they like to cool off in when it dries up.

And we won't chase them off the deck even though they disemboweled our seat cushions (they were worn out and musty and need replacing anyway) 😅

Yeah, this is the way. Itchio may end up having to be entirely user-backed, but this is not an insurmountable obstacle (it does frustrate me that
despite SO MANY examples out there, they didn't have a plan for this)

Also: Fuck these rich fascist pricks who've never created a damn thing of any value

Charles Bradley performs soulful cover of Black Sabbath's 'Changes' YouTube video by Toronto Star

Been listening to this Black Sabbath cover for a while now. Seems like a good time to share it.

If they see us out doing yardwork and we're not too loud, they will walk up and put themselves right in the middle of what we're doing 😅

Two black vultures hanging out on the deck railing, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the cats, probably.

These criminals are raiding the garden and eating all the cherry tomatoes #vulture #birdwatching #ByWhichIMeanTheBirdsWatchUs

I swear they recognize my car now, because I pull up after work and they all come out of the barn and wait for my son to go check on the garden.

If he doesn't come out to open the gate, they pick at the mesh fencing and their mama (she's a *big* girl) tears it up and lets them in.

We had a pair of turkey vultures show up and try to take over the barn last year, but they were kinda shy, they never came up to the house or anything. the black vultures were like nu uh and they eventually chased them out again

When I say black vultures are curious and friendly birds, I mean it. Our resident flock visits the house and garden daily just to chill. We don't feed them or anything, they lived here before we moved in. Here's Tim (named after the Sorcerer) and this year's fledglings visiting Potatoes.

I would certainly not be the one to write and pitch something like that, but man would it be fun to draw. :D

Somebody on one of these (I think it was "Oi!") posted about it being a theme song for a Dominican anime, and yeah

It'd be a series of neo fabulist /magical cyberpunk Dominican Bronx stories, and if the art reflected their style and presentation, bet it would hit.

Yessss please
Nothing gets me like a good genre crossover 🎶

Oi! ✊🏾This is anthemic as hell

Same, I had to check in just because I got a flash flood of notifications. I don't even post that much these days! 😔

Same. They go with everything

Right? I keep getting surprised by the folks who'd never heard of this. A movie would be great. Or slide it into an already popular show or mini series.

this is an absolutely beautiful thread.

I'm rezzing the Planettes art series! Planettes was/is a series of 13 ladies designed off real planet facts, with one for each planet + Pluto, the Sun, Earth's moon, and Milky Way. First up is Mars!
Fun fact: Mars has two wobbly lil moons that were probably captured asteroids

Oh no i love her!

Yup 🖤
