Currently working on something I hope to put out into the world very soon. 🖤 The subject is close to my heart, & it may resonate with many of you, especially during this time of the year. #BlackLGBTQ+

Done editing some audio for the night. I'm not quite done yet, but I'm making progress. Wish me luck bc this shit is rough. Uh! #blackquirkyqueer

Coincidentally, I talked about this briefly on stream last night… after mixing up "cozy" and "lo-fi" into "lozy" and "co-fi". 😂 Obviously money is great, but there are so many other ways to support creatives that are free .99 and easy to do. And if you don't know what would help? Ask them! 💖

Help me win the Goodpods 7 Day Challenge! If I can get 25 new subscribers on Goodpods within 7 days, I'll get a free promo, which would do wonders for my very fresh, small podcast. #BlackLGBTQ+ #lgbtq #podcast #goodpods #helpasistaout go.goodpods.com/q1RqVU

Oh, my brain! Forgot to let you guys know that there's a new blog post. This topic keeps popping up in certain circles, & I thought, "Why not?!" #BlackLGBTQ+ #lgbtq #queer www.blackquirkyqueer.com/blog/keep-in...

I'm not surprised. Assault due to positional power is not rare.

#TwitchTogetherForGood is back! 🎮We've organized another of Twitch's largest raid trains! Starting Monday November 17th, over 50 trans-identifying streamers will showcase their talents in relay, 24hrs a day, all week long, to support Trans Lifeline. 🏳️‍⚧️✨ Join us at www.peer2peer.live.

I’ve been talking about creating a podcast forever! And now, I’ve finally done it. The Black Quirky Queer Podcast is a monthly #podcast that's basically an extension of the blog. Every 1st Tuesday of the month, you can listen to me chat wherever you listen to podcasts. 🌈 youtu.be/HEIyqo3sFg8?...

I dropped a new newsletter post this morning, catching everyone up on the details of my month-long absence. In case you missed it, you can sign up for The Black Quirky Queer Letter 👉🏽 letter.blackquirkyqueer.com/subscribe. That way, you can stay up to date on everything Black & Queer. #BlackLGBTQ+

Take care of your mental! Stress hits men hard too. Here are 5 quick ways to manage stress today. #StressAwareness #Movember #BarrierBreakers #BlackTherapistsSky #Blacksky

If you need to take a nap before doing tasks, nap. If you need help, ask. If you need medication to better your health, take it. We should all be gentler on ourselves. Just because we need a little help (or accommodation) doesn't mean we aren't worthy or incapable. lackofbetter.com/2025/09/25/w...

I’m tired af & don’t want to do anything else. I’d hate to stop in the middle of an edit, but oh well! I’m about to pass out at this desk. #naptime

I always do multiple takes, but someone walked in during the first take, which made me mad as hell. I can’t sit in here without booking the booth. So, as to why they thought it was available WITHOUT reserving the space for themselves, is beyond me. 🤦🏽‍♀️ #audacity #recording

youtube.com/shorts/n0P5q... If you don’t like the way we speak, don’t talk to us. 🖕🏽✌🏽 #BlackEnglish

oh yeah happy halloween

I'm using the free version of Descript to edit my intro, & I can tell it's already 10x better than Riverside. OMG! I can actually do things! 😆 Also, it sounds better for some reason? Like I can hear all the little things that I thought I was hearing in Riverside. Oh well! Hello Descript! #podcaster

pretty wild being in the store carefully selecting which food items might last a long time with the $40 of food stamps we have left, while getting multiple news updates about SNAP probably not coming next month

There are plenty queer owned cafes in #RVA, including B Boys Coffee, a Black queer owned cafe. I'm certainly checking them out. Please support #LGBTQ businesses, especially the Black owned ones. More than ever, we need to stick together. outrva.com/blog/richmon...

apple.news/A3HL3B6vTQUO... I love this! This is one of the reasons why diversity is so important.

What?! 😆

We'll give away 2 tix to Joshua Radin w/Brendan James at Richmond Music Hall on 10/14/25 on Handful of Brains! (Tu 7-9 PM on @wrir973fm.bsky.social) We've also got an eclectic mix of music incl. Rolling Stones, @mpproductions.bsky.social & @thomyorke.wastehq.social @mymorningjacket.bsky.social 1/3

So-called “conversion therapy” is an abusive pseudoscience that pits kids against their families and has been rejected by EVERY major medical & mental health organization. This week, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case challenging Colorado’s ban on this dangerous practice.

Trying to edit this BTS content, but I'm sleepy as hell AND the neighbors are being loud af. Maybe I'll just take a damn break. #queercreator

I saw an article from Vox, which I couldn't finish reading w/o a subscription, about something similar. So, I found another. What is this world coming to? #BlackLGBTQ+ #lgbtq #queer #lgbtqrights #conversiontherapy theconversation.com/supreme-cour...

As usual, I forgot to mention that I published a new blog post yesterday. So, if you have the time, give it a read pretty please. #queerblogger #blackblogger #theblackquirkyqueerblog #bvm #lgbtq #queer www.blackquirkyqueer.com/blog/what-wi...

A new-ish blog post out now! It's been a minute, & I'm sorry about that! I'm just busy. Better late than never, right? Please check it out now. #queerblogger #blackblogger #bvm #BlackLGBTQ+ #lgbtq blackquirkyqueer.com/blob/belonging

Dropped a new post in the Chronicles segment. If you haven’t read it already, check it out 👇🏽 #queerblogger #queerwriter www.blackquirkyqueer.com/blog/belonging

Working on something FIRE, and I hope to have it done pretty soon so I can post it tomorrow morning. Wish me luck, guys! #queerblogger #queerwriter #BlackLGBTQ+ #writing #imonfire

I second this!

It's not coming. American society is built on the idea that Black suffering is normal.

Gretchen Felker-Martin getting her comic cancelled for echoing this exact sentiment is *wildly* on-the-nose

I need another drink! Maybe I'll go back to Lillie Pearl soon. #sweetthang #cocktail #vinhoverde #wine #blackquirkyqueer #queerblogger

Same! I need some ZZZs 😴

Totally forgot to post this! Better late than never, right? #foodie #RVA #LilliePearl #southerncuisine #Blackowned #BlackLGBTQ+ www.blackquirkyqueer.com/blog/lillie-...

This isn't just San Diego; this is all over the US, & I'm pretty sure it happens outside of the US, too. Glad I watched this doc. Dating is so hard for us (Black LGBTQ+) for so many different reasons. It makes me wonder if it'll ever change. #BlackLGBTQ+ #dating youtu.be/D2lDzDRa9Rg?...

I've got a new Instagram account! There's nothing there lol but I'll be sure to post something soon. #instagram www.instagram.com/blackquirkyq...

Hey y’all! A new Elevate post will drop tomorrow morning, so keep your eyes peeled. Sorry it’s taken me so long to post new content. I’ve just been feeling down, but I feel much better now. #BlackLGBTQ+ #queerblogger

I need to work on this post, but I am so tired. Thinking about taking a nap, then working on it. It's been a long day & a rough 7 or so days. #queerblogger

SMH… the caucacity youtube.com/shorts/8M7Bp...

This is exactly what scrolling through social media does to me

Cool. Maybe now short fiction writers won’t be made to feel less-than?

I ordered some business cards last week, & I was so excited to get them. While I was at work, I got a ping that they'd arrived at the office. Great! Couple of hours later, I get to the office, & there are no cards. WTH! They aren't at the front desk, the mail room, or anywhere, for that matter.

I've got so many things I need to do, & even though I do have a to-do list, I'm gonna do the easy stuff first. I think my brain can handle that.

Same, but my list looks like this: Blog Podcast Novel Online queer community Homework Designs #busyqueer

I went to Ruby Scoops, a Black woman-owned ice cream shop in RVA, a few days ago, & I loved it so much! So, if you're in the area, pretty please check it out. #RVA #icecream #dessert #blackownedbusiness #womanownedbusiness #elevate www.blackquirkyqueer.com/blog/1qeoyd3...

I uploaded a new blog post this morning. #BlackLGBTQ+ #trans #queer #lgbtq www.blackquirkyqueer.com/blog/terf-wh...

There's something unsettling in writing a piece about how Black women are being deeply impacted by this administration. Our unemployment rate is close to 10%, and then several Patreon patrons cancel their patronage. It's probably just a coincidence. blackgirlinmaine.com/commentary/f...
