👋🏼 I’m noticing a lot of introduction posts and realized I haven’t done one.
So, who am I, not Jean Valjean.
I’m Andrew, the host of Melanin Mythos, a member of the @apocunlimited.bsky.social admin team, an editor, a game designer, a world builder, a gm, a player, and most importantly a parent. 👋🏼

For me and marginalized people like me because we deserve to exist in media and be see. Also, in an attempt to quell the emptiness by imagining something better with friends.

7. I wish I had a fun answer for this, but I’m still in the process of getting divorced. So, I’m sorting that out.

SouzaGM @asouzagm.bsky.social · 2d

I feel this! I remember times I went out to just enjoy the sun and telling people it was nice, but still feeling like an underlying melancholy. I try to enjoy nature in more active ways I think for this reason.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE! This is very exciting, I had a lot of fun playing this game over on @apocunlimited.bsky.social last year. Now you all can experience the Joy and the general salivating it promotes.

HoneyandDice @honeyanddice.bsky.social · 5d

So...just casually soft early launching something here for people who have been waiting. I am still fixing my website after it broke so this is a soft launch. There is a $3 minimum for each but it is pay what you want and I hope this helps you tell new and exciting stories:

A 15 year old AUTISTIC CHILD WAS KIDNAPPED and detained by ICE FOR FOUR DAYS.

HIS PARENTS THOUGHT HE WAS MISSING. THEY WERE NOT INFORMED.

The cops found him in a detention center.

6. I did at one point, but I have not had alcohol in about two and half years. I really enjoyed making drinks and not really the drinking them unless they were particularly interesting flavors.

SouzaGM @asouzagm.bsky.social · 2d

5. I’m the oldest of five and the adopted parent of the youngest.

SouzaGM @asouzagm.bsky.social · 2d

Super dark brown. It looks black in most lighting.

SouzaGM @asouzagm.bsky.social · 3d

3. An amber brown, but usually the light doesn’t hit them so they look dark brown or black.

SouzaGM @asouzagm.bsky.social · 3d

2. 6’1 which seems to be a constant point of contention. It is my height idk.

SouzaGM @asouzagm.bsky.social · 3d

1. Souza (pronounced like sue-za) has been the constant. Andouille and Andy have also happened, but Souza has stuck and is constantly brought back so much so I debate introducing myself as Andrew or Souza.

SouzaGM @asouzagm.bsky.social · 3d

For fun, I’ll try this.
