Two notices showing that Divya has been added to the skywatch lists "platform abuse & manipulation" and "inauthentic fundraising"
Look, I'm going to say something very important ONCE, and then never again. Do not try to appeal to these people. Do not try to prove that you are doing real work. I've been transparent since day 1. All my accounts are public. What they want is genocide and surveillance.
Do not give it to them. Ok?
hi hi! speaking in Ash because we're streaming Battleblock Theatre with @ashsaidhi.bsky.social ! Hoping maybe @thebehemoth.com wants to stop by, say hi hi, and help us get a super special achievement while we're live ๐๐
there will be nonsense, sorry not sorry

I remember when this was at PAX East....2024 maybe? Time is fake, I just remember seeing it and being like "?" and someone said 'it's like Souls with cats---'
delighted to see we are reaching 1.0!
I'm printing this out
and if I am leading with 'it SHOULD BE---' then you better believe I am at least versed in the topic.
Which is why we SHOULD BE getting a Breath of Fire Compilation in the near future. ๐
but the thing that helped me a lot is exactly what you said: instead of leading with 'it SHOULD BE--', I learned to lead with 'hey WHY ISNT it this way', because you have to come to terms with the fact that you simply do not-and cannot-know everything.
yea as someone who has been Doing the Activism thing for well over 20 years now, and was confirmed to have C-PTSD, the thing that pisses me off THE MOST is how things could absolutely be so much better and easier and simply Are Fucking Not because plainly speaking: people suck.
I don't understand a damn thing The Boy does for his day job, which is why I don't tell him how to do it. I don't know what wire goes where. I will blow some shit up.
Instead: I ask him about stuff and take in what I can.
I...don't assume that I know better than him.
Because I do not.
Hey gang.
It's ok if you aren't aware of How A Thing Works to
simply not comment on it.
That's it.
That's all you have to do.
we have to remember that organizations do not operate like our communities. organizations have real, tangible ramifications if things aren't handled correctly. At the community level, we can be more forward.
I say this as someone who has worked in corpo nonsense, been abused, & runs a community.
from a protections and legal standpoint, it is a general bad idea to air out all the details, not just because people will interpret it however they want, but also because it 100% guarantees that the victim will be caught in the line of fire.
The top priority is *always* protection of the victim.
eepy af tbh
If you're black and play games at all: join us! gdq.gg/baf!
If you're not black: spread the word about us!
5 years is a huge milestone for us with @gamesdonequick.com. Can't wait to celebrate with y'all during Juneteenth. <3
BLACKJOYHECKYEAH!
*stares at camera*
And to this point: you DON'T have to be a speedrunner. Your goal doesn't have to be 'PT I want WR in DS2 any%' It doesn't have to be 'I joined teach me Cuphead rando' - we welcome you as supporters and as volunteers for the events! We need your help and your support!

If you have any questions about BaF, I am an open book.
As are the leads I have tagged in the thread!
But if you want to be formal, I GUESS, you can hit us up at blackinaflash@gamesdonequick.com.
We await you, and will be here for the start of your journey. Wherever that maybe. ๐
I want to see what you can do.
You will always have someone cheering you on in BaF.
And if you don't: it's literally because I am dead.
But I also: want more Black runners to feel like they have a home. And we are here. ๐
No really.
I just really like Soulsborne games. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

also don't do hitless runs in a corset.
Juneteenth (Class of) 2026 is the perfect time to join us. It's low stakes, it gives you a chance to stretch your legs (or let your hair down), and helps you find the speciality group that you are looking for. I named speedruns: but I'm actually more of a challenge runner as the lead.
NEVER feel like its too late to join. It isn't.
I turn 40 this year and just found my stride in Cuphead speedrunning and am learning Touhou Luna Nights. There is a space-and a slice-for you.
We would love to see more Black talent on the GDQ screens, always. You are welcome here.
Over the last 4 years, as a community we have poured our hearts and souls into making BaF the space that it is.
It would mean the world, to me at least, for fellow Black speedrunners, challenge runners, and Black runners doing Weird Shit in their games to join us. I want to see us grow more.
and with the additions of @popnotarts.bsky.social , @champrul.bsky.social , and @cassasaur.bsky.social : the group has become that much better in a span of 5 months.
Now this is where the unfortunate CTAs come in.
Within this last year: I got the opportunity to finally make a stance for myself. Again: I was accustomed to working alone.
2025 was the year that I finally broke the trend.
I went to management directly and said
"I need help."
I yearned for spaces like these when I was younger. Growing up as a Black nerdy person has its.......moments.
And BaF truly does feel like home.
It's a lovely, energizing, and absolutely beaming group of Black talent and personality. The members who make it up are some of the funniest, dedicated, and encouraging on this side of the internet. And they're all here, uplifting each other, ferociously.
I couldn't ask for more.
I cannot stress enough that Black in a Flash, as a community, isn't just a job for me: it may actually be my pride and joy. I ADORE the BaF community and what it has become.
and that talent that I had met, and awkwardly hosted for, or talked to, or yelled at, for the last 2.5-3 years, pulled up in droves and said:
"PT, how do I help?"
And then the passion and fury of two tired, lost, confused Black kids, who honest to god just wanted a space to call home, turned into this: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
then the big moment came: we upscaled UBAF to Back to Black.
Like dumbasses we assumed 'hey two bodies is more than one LET'S JUST UPSCALE THE ENTIRE THING LOL' and we took this to management and these assholes said 'ship it.'
So we....kept working.
But it was WE kept working. Not I.
