Difficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.

🌴 MAJOR ANNOUCEMENT! 🌴 Ourlands, my cozy island builder, will arrive on June 2, 2026 on both Steam and the Epic Games Store! I'd greatly appreciate it if you could go and wishlist it and share it with EVERYONE YOU KNOW! Spread the vibes. Links below 👇🏽

Today’s all gloomy and chilly, which is making me crave for the Halloween season.

Those ai barbie memes rack my nerves

Working with predominantly Black folks is something because why do I smell a whole pot roast dinner at 9 in the morning??

Y’all boyfriends can’t let go of Drake or hookah😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Black people cannot scream they want all Black films when they don’t want a Black character to be the villain. That doesn’t make any sense. Then there wouldn’t be a story to tell. What is the point of having all Black movies?? Please turn that light bulb of a brain on, I know it’s dim but damn!

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

I detest this fucking movie.

Directive 8020 Part 1 | Part 2 is tonight! 😭 www.youtube.com/live/WDu9On-...

Why are the season finales for major shows this year being ass?? From Stranger Things, Euphoria (was always ass) and The Boys. They have to get these white men out of the writers room at this point.

Degrassi is a whole franchise if you think about it. And there has yet to be another Teen Show to come close to it. Degrassi been a thing since the 80s and ran till 2020??

We’re gonna have another Pandemic aren’t we. 🙃 A pandemic within a pandemic.

Folks talking about mouths to feed and her Mama missing not stopping a check. And while that is absolutely true, I’m either grabbing my Nancy Drew magnifying glass and slapping feet on this pavement or I’m sitting at home dressed in all black because fuck a job right now 😭

Maaaan them S2 Euphoria blond tips. He ain’t have no business looking this good. I still don’t think I’m watching S3 tho

White people really do grieve differently

2/2 The Disappearance of Young Adult Books and Services in Public Libraries. Teen collections in public libraries are disappearing. So, too, are professionals dedicated to serving this demographic. bookriot.com/the-disappea...

1/2 Springfield Public Library (OR) is proposing not only closing Mondays but also cutting teen services in their 2027 budget. Recall: teen services are being slashed right before our eyes, continuing to harm this culturally-hated group. TEENS HAVE NO WHERE!!!! Story: nbc16.com/news/local/s...

I was wondering how people fall for cults. Nevermind.

It’ll be gay marriage next. Then interracial marriage. Then segregated schools. They’re already working on that. Then whites only public spaces. They’ve already re-segregated the federal work force by firing as many Black people as they could.

Twitter was popping from 09(really 12) til what 2024?? Thats a long time to build a community. You cannot come over here thinking its gonna be the same. We been on here (heavily) for only 2 yrs. And many ppl didnt come for whatever reasons. Its time to move on & let "Black Twitter" go. It's gone.

(The bulk of the BT holier than thou know-it-alls tried to establish that they made Black Twitter (coined phrase, wrote published works, demanded to be cited for certain words, etc.) and purposely would use their college degrees to lord over everyone else. It was irritating.)

And then this part here too:

And we're live with session 2 of Red Markets: The Hand That Feeds! A game of economic horror, and zombies. This session is called Standoff and guess what situation the characters find themselves in? twitch.tv/findoutproductions #ttrpg #actualplay

Harriet should’ve shot his ancestors!

Leaving twitter was like the Nigga Exodus! We wanted to get away from Incel-Musk land. We were trying to get a peace of mind, like wth

We’re not here to influence culture. We’re here…living OUR culture. Being in community with each other. MINDING OUR BLACK ASS BUSINESS

I will say this againz If you have a problem with your algorithm and your feed, that is a YOU problem. You are in charge what you see on your timeline. If you surround yourself with nothing but white folks, of course that’s all you’re ever going to see. Stoping blaming someone else!

To be clear, I do not know who y’all talking about. But the points seem relevant.

The curse of Hester Gardens by Tamika Thompson!

3rd party voted their way into less rights than my momma So smart, so strategic

Content making fun of Black kids not being able to read... *sigh*

Ms. Rachel is talking to the kids through a screen while the parents are scrolling tik tok on their phones.

Something that helps kids with literacy is also just talking to them. A lot. You pick up new words not just by reading them but by hearing them used in conversations. That’s part of language learning in general but I wonder if that might be happening less?

Why I need to get out of healthcare! 🤧

Chyle not yall left Black Millennials and Gen Z in charge of the fight for Civil Rights these negros cant read gang 🫩

Still the best thing I've ever seen on television

People really need to practice the art of shutting the fuck up sometimes.

This is exactly why there’s a male loneliness epidemic and why I’m happy to contribute to it.

Yeah I can listen to a whole Sade album with Silent Hill aesthetics 🤤
