There is no limit to what our young Queen's can achieve! Congratulations, Mahogany. Your future is bright, and we are proud to celebrate this incredible accomplishment.
As a teacher, I’m literally not paid enough for this bullshit. TM was probably a dickhead student and now he’s a dickhead adult. Teachers do SO MUCH for their students and we get shit like this from people who think they’re better than us. Fuck you, man.
Justice for O’Shae Sibley! A NYC jury just convicted 20-year-old Dmitriy Popov of first-degree manslaughter as a hate crime (plus other charges) in the 2023 stabbing death of 28-year-old dancer O’Shae Sibley.
Sibley was fatally stabbed in the heart after he and friends vogued to Beyoncé at a Brooklyn gas station and faced homophobic + racist slurs.
Popov faces up to 25 years. Sentencing June 30.

We hardly ever get to see black queer love stories on screen...
Especially between two dark-skinned characters.
But we can change that as a community. Be loud and proud of the black queer storytellers you follow online, share their work everywhere.
Short film coming soon.
I think when people say "decolonize your mind" they mean from white supremacy — and I think it actually includes deprogramming yourself from all the other stuff too (religion, patriarchy, homophobia, capitalism, etc) because those things are also white supremacy believe it or not
Black gay bars are closing while everybody profits off Black queer culture. Ballroom gets copied, our slang gets recycled, our aesthetics get monetized, & suddenly non-Black people are the face of “Black gay” events.
How do u consume the culture but erase the people who built it?
my annoyance with people’s reactions to this is the lack of any historical context for the image itself. like of course in a post-PrEP/first world these statements feel trite. but, as recent funding cuts show us, there are lessons still to be learned from the AIDS era.
This is such an interesting social experiment because if you pressed a single person in this video they would say they’re not racist but somehow they always seem to accept the most racist thing.
I’ve been seeing people say that they wished more Black/African Americans knew about the Spirits, Deities, and folklore figures of our pantheon, so I complied a list from my research. Most people don’t know we have them or don’t recognize them due to accessibility of knowledge.
killed that black child over a $1 water bottle.
I truly have nothing positive to say about the Asian community. All they do is blame Black people for stopping them from getting to college, align themselves with white people, steal Black culture, and kill Black people.
