TL used to be like: Who sits in the front seat if your mama made your plate first at thanksgiving, but your son is gay because your relationship is 50/50 of what you bring to the table on a coffee date and your husband and your dad are fighting. Thoughts? 👀👀👀

I’ll remember him and the fact that despite everything he was subjected to, he always had a song in his heart. May he rest easy ❤️

I don’t even use IG anymore but the fact that Meta deleted Saleh’s account is some seriously sinister shit. It’s like it’s not enough for Palestinian Journalists to die. They want us to forget about them too. They want ut to forget what we saw.

Lets assess the threat environment:
Measles
Covid
RSV
Flu
Bird Flu (pending but credible)

(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)

Oh baby do I have some news for yall. You better get comfy with that mask sooner rather than later.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1d

yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.

AmeriKraut @inchargeofthegirls.bsky.social · 21h

for some reason, it never occurred to me that i at 5'3 would actually look small to someone say, 6'3 - 6'6. this is actually absurd.

Scientists need to come up with a way to just take ur uterus out when you have ur period…. You can keep it in a deli container or some shit and then put it back in when you need it. Cuz all this extra shit is rlly unnecessary.

Anyway, since y’all love fiction so much, go read the first issue of my comic 😌

✬Communiggty Centric✬ @urbanaudacity.blacksky.app · 9d

It’s Black Speculative Fiction month, so it’s only right that I have [finally] made issue #1 of my comic, UNDEAD DUO, available to read online for FREE.

Please, give it a read!

globalcomix.com/read/d501429...

The cover of Undead Duo #1.

It depicts a Black woman, ERA, in a tattered dress, holding a curved blade that resembles an Ethiopian Shotel. Directly behind her is the title, UNDEAD DUO, in all caps, with a red line that looks like a life plus running through the text. A little further behind Era is the wreckage of a red car.

At the top is the name of the contributors to this comic: BA Spann (me), Khalid Johnson (artist), Jamesia Bly (styling).
