Now that we're making box skirts instead of circle skirts, I can work on skirt designs that would have been really difficult to make work on a circle, like this forest glade design! #art #original

Absolutely nothibg little about this red riding hood... More pics of this look on the fan site.

Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go... #BlackJoy #BreakingNormal #EmbraceYourself #RedRidingHood #cosplay

That poopy woman being allowed to continue to compete is wild. I wish I could stop seeing pics of that shit (no pun intended).

Just out here looking for trouble...

I've been having a hate-hate relationship with my body. Things that didn't make me sick in the past make me sick now. My tolerance for standing, sitting, moving, staying still, whatever is in constant flux and the consequences for getting it wrong are steep.

I come from the generation of Black people who were told that we need to "act right" so we don't lose the opportunity to change things from the inside, only to learn that we will compromise ourselves into protecting the very things that are destroying us.

The day my dad passed, I didn't believe it was happening. My mom had called me home the previous day because he'd lost consciousness and they believed it was the end. So I flew home and sat with him. He regained consciousness and seemed fine. He ate, had some ice cream, and basically seemed fine.

My mom didn't know who I was today.

While I'm on the train, I'm gonna do a quick lil #CaribbeanHeritageMonth thread on (new) music - maybe next week I'll cover some historical stuff, but lemme put y'all on to a few things, starting with this new Buju clip 🔥

My cup overfloweth. Want a sip? *I'm kidding. Don't answer that.*

I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

It’s a girl on TikTok who reports instances of sexual assault and other violence from the police When i tell you she not only never runs out of content, in most cases she has too much to report in one video

I am the abundance this culture tries to convince you shouldn't exist, much less desire.

Did I mention I've got a fantasy series wrapping up? Are you aware there's a pre-launch page for the final book at Kickstarter? Do you like witchy stuff? And tall tales? Yeah you do. Is it true nether politicians shrivel from this series like vamphyr at a daylight rave? Can't confirm. Won't deny.

Coming soon: KHUMALO TALES

Book 3 of the Khumalo Trilogy

I wanted to be one of those people who went silent and then popped out with a new book or some shit but I'm struggling with wanting to exist, much less create something.

Face card never declined. #BlackJoy #BreakingNormal #EmbraceYourself #JoyIsResistance

Velma with an afro is everything. My Velma cosplay had an afro, too. It was too cute!

I was super mad the day I posted this in 2023. The thing they leave out of the deathly fat medical conversation is how doctors will refuse to treat you because you're fat then blame you being fat for all the health issues you experience due to LACK OF TREATMENT. Absolute fuckery.

I liked the makeup for this shoot, even though I've done a similar look in the past. I feel like I'm struggling with my creativity these days and I don't like it.

You ever want to talk about something just to get it out, but you don't want any feedback on it? Like, you need to be heard, not comforted or even validated? *Sigh* Being human is weird.
