Reposting for the morning crew 🖤

Really fucked up for Taz to force us to write a poem in 5 minutes but I think Giorgos did well enough

Really eating up this first episode of Realis. It’s especially helpful hearing Austin breakdown what he thinks is interesting about his system and hearing his excitement. Now the whole things makes me want to make a Realis hack but instead of moons it’s islands/continents and it’s a pirate game 🤔

Oooooo you wanna apply for our charity event sOOOooOOoOoOoOo bad!!! (pls go apply thnx)

They regularly post these generators and are very pro AI The signs are right there, but because they say “human content!” In their bio and there’s no context to it by itself, it’s very easy for AI shit like this to get shared around for the memes, and that’s a bit scary tbh

This is your friendly reminder that we have an all Black Discord server y'all can join! Casting calls, movie nights, so on and so forth. it's one of the ways we're trying to intentionally build community, so cmon and join us! Link in our beacons: beacons.ai/baddiebards

ICYMI last week!

IN EVERY. SINGLE. LIFETIME 🗣🗣🗣

I love being transgender. I would not trade the experience of being trans for the world — much less the shallow and fascist false promises of conservatism. I would choose to be trans in every lifetime. 🏳️‍⚧️ I love you, trans folk. I love me, too.

Strange sightings at a small town's only music venue. Rumors of a ghost. A real estate agent with a shady past. A musician's vow of revenge. All that awaits in Junior Detectives: The Wing Beatz Haunting. But today: art! And starting tomorrow, we learn who these characters and their players are!

Another day, another Junior Detective: Meet Dante, played by Find Out Crew member @sirenmademodules.bsky.social! There are some who call Dante Hodge overzealous or fanatical, but that won't stop him from getting to the bottom of things...even when no one asked.

Yo! Another team member post! Meet @kaoscryptid.blacksky.app, who is always doing too much. You might know them from organizing GenCon Online panels that one year, or from being a host during RainbowRollFest, or from organizing an all Black Juneteenth event last year (keep an eye out for this year).

Ariel is fueled by Red Bull and storytelling. They started their journey in TTRPGs than 6 years ago and entered the AP community in last year's Juneteenth Stream with @kaoscryptid.blacksky.app, before finding their way to @maiasgameroom.bsky.social in Bad Deal Blues, an Orbital Blues Actual Play.

welp. We got 1 good superman movie before the nazis decided to fuck the whole company. I'm glad of that, at least.

RUN UP THE APPS FOR THIS, YALL AIN'T READY 😩😤

Yo! I am once again organizing an all Black GM & Player Juneteenth event. The theme is gonna be Black Joy: We Came to Party Put your dancing shoes on, light up the grill, and move your car from the street we're having a Block Party. GM Sign Ups open March 30th and player sign ups to follow.

Much like them, BaddieBards from the mf *jump* have always been about carving out a space in the TTRPG Community where Black Queer stories were at the forefront. We follow in the footsteps of our honored elders, nothin has changed. The answer is, and always will be, **community** yfm?

All 3 have carved out spaces where Black folx could find community, a safe space, love, and joy. These are spaces that were created with careful, loving hands because there *was* no space for us.

In honor of Mother Crystal LaBeija, First Lady of Hip-Hop Cindy Campbell and her brother, the iconic DJ Kool Herc! Thanks to them, we have two very important pieces of Black and Queer culture: Ballroom Houses & Block Parties.

The Bards are ready to let y'all see what we've been cooking up! So, without further ado... BaddieBards presents: LaBeija's Ball 💅🏿✨️ our Juneteenth x Pride charity event sign-ups are LIVEEEE Please spread the word! Share, apply, do All the Things! tally.so/r/GxrdPo #ttrpgcastingcall WE ARE HERE!

If I reshare something that’s AI. Tell me. I’m correctable. I won’t crash out on you.

At the bottom of the Substack settings page, under "Danger Zone," you can turn off all subscriptions at once. Apologies to all my friends on Substack. I'd gritted my teeth and supported you because I love your work. But Substack's partnership with Polymarket is the last straw for me.

TODAY

I thought it might be fun to start a thread about our current campaign - what creatures and spirits and characters will likely be appearing in the book, who some of our writers are besides yours truly, etc. Let's talk Legends & Icons (also feel free to AMA) www.kickstarter.com/projects/coy... 1/🧵

Fashion is a luxury our kindred could barely afford. Now it’s back to business. 🔴 Join us for our next chapter of Sanguine Scourge, a Vampire the Masquerade chronicle of drama, darkness, and desire on Tuesday, March 3rd at 7:30pm eastern time / 4:30pm pacific time on Twitch.

Happy nth day of Black History Epoch! 🖤✨

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
