As usual full disclosure I didn’t watch the Oscars live. I saw the highlights as they happened on twitter and let other people’s reactions tell the story. I got pretty much all the highs (Viola Davis and Mahershala Ali 😎) and lows (Not Denzel 🙄) and when it came to the end the cynic in… Continue reading Moonlight Tho!!!!!
***Continued My mom was super tired at this point, but she agreed that there was definitely some demon shit going on with me. Unfortunately the doctor had pretty much zero ideas on how to deal with it, and after it was determined that there was nothing physically wrong with me or my mother the three… Continue reading Fiction Friday: Random 2
This isn’t going to be long because I don’t have much to say on this topic from a personal perspective and have never received hate for this online. I don’t really consider myself to be a gamer. I’ve played Super Smash Bros. and Guitar Hero with my cousins when I was younger as well as… Continue reading Gamer?
If you haven’t noticed Disney and I do this weird little dance sometimes. There’s plenty of Disney films that I love, not just because of the fact that I watched them as a kid, but because they really are timeless. Then there’s some of their racism. The trouble is, people barely took all it that… Continue reading Pocahontas and Disney
Alright for those of you who are super observant, yes I missed fiction Friday last week, therefore to keep myself on my toes this week I will attempt making a post everyday, and doubling up Friday. The penalty if I don’t is pretty much the usual my own self shame. So without further or do… Continue reading One Day at a Time
Last week I had a theme for my Black History Month post and the week before I just picked four people I thought would be cool for everyone to know, or at least learn about in a different capacity. Today I’m going to be a little less organized (if that’s even possible). Black Wallstreet: Many people… Continue reading Black History Month Random Edition
To be honest I was going to format this post like last Monday’s, but as I went through the week I found a lot of different articles and material other people had made, as well as another Kat Blaque relevant video on the topic so I figured today would be more about links than my descriptions.… Continue reading Queer Black History
Once upon a time there was a boy and a girl who in true heterosexual fashion met and fell in love. Those would be my parents. They also happened to be demon hunters. I know, I know you’ve heard this story before, but be patient will ya there’s more here than meets the eye (at… Continue reading Fiction Friday: Random
It’s day 6 of black history month and I am ready to do my part to celebrate it. As I mentioned last week when I wrote about my mom’s immigration story during her time off from working full time she did a lot around my school and the community. One of her achievements was becoming… Continue reading Black History Month 1
Afrodite Blood drips into the ocean, a beat the water froths and foams into the shape of a woman. The earth feels for the first time, and it breathes. (in and out) I feel for the first time. Alive. Ready. My feet curl and burrow in the sand as the water stays wrapped around me like… Continue reading Fiction Friday: A Poem
