Filmore Brown worked 7 days a week for over two decades to pay off his Brooklyn house. Now, he's losing his home over an unpaid water bill that he says he knew nothing about. “It was stolen from me”

This has been an ongoing problem for years. The real estate industry has been directly behind this. They benefit from the sale of these homes so they can later gentrify these neighborhoods. They purposely don’t give ppl the information needed so they can pay their bills.

And there I am, because of fucking course I am. Adding myself to the class action lawsuit now. Namesearch yourself, authors.

The only way you don’t feel fear EVER is if you have control over everything And then you fear losing control And everyone is indulging this no ious nonsense because they thought the browns and queers got out of line And now love the idea of the horror being their fault

The State Department revoking artist visas is about controlling the narrative and what we as citizens will be allowed to access to. Today it's for artists, tomorrow could be internet blackouts. In the meantime, buy or stream the fuck out of Bob Vylan and Kneecap, anti-estab music will do you good!

“Black, queer, disabled, and working-class artists are continually invited to be visible — but not paid. Platformed, but not protected. Our labor fuels institutions that rarely acknowledge our right to own, direct, or even survive off what we create.” —Damien Davis, artist and educator

Someone posted on Twitter about how diabolical it is that white people with corporate jobs can get Juneteenth off, but Black service workers probably still have to work today. Just...diabolical.

🌈Plugging my comic this Pride & Juneteenth if you wanna support me and enjoy some gay scrimbos at the same time ✌🏼 Honestly the biggest gift for me is having more people to talk about my OCs with.😚 ❤️🖤💚💛

In my book pre orders you can see how many times the item has been viewed vs how many have been sold. There is ONE Dirty Girlies book left. And I'm very thankful for the amount of diary comics sold especially. For having no advertising beyond Bluesky really, this is pretty amazing. Thank you.

a good day #MerMay

Welp, my furnace broke! I’m really glad it’s not as cold as it was a week ago since we have no heat, there’s no guarantee that won’t change, so I’m opening shop early in hopes that I can make a dent in the payment. RT’s & Shares are really really appreciated 💖 monstercliche.com

would anyone be interested in receiving a free Pillowfort invite code? I bought one ages ago and really have no need for it because I already have an account.

banger meme and banger one-liner!

My weapon is knowledge and it's served with a swing

... d*ge used to be my favorite meme too... why do they ruin everything

True.

“I feel like I should look up if it’s true or not before I start spreading it.” Teen Vogue spoke with a dozen educators who say that the question of how to know whether something online can be trusted has made its way into their classrooms in recent years. Read more ⤵️

A Sweet Abilene page (of many) I like

@adriennemareebrown.bsky.social waning Adrienne Maree Brown slowly i collapse lose light lose warmth forget everything i ever knew about bright it is time again to know nothing to be still and silent to wait and wonder to notice exactly what i need so completely that it pulls me through shadow

Hello Bluesky!!

i hope i die warmed by the life that i tried to live — Nikki Giovanni

Finished @alamodegames.bsky.social's "Sorry We're Closed" and I have so many thoughts. I love how they made survival horror accessible. Who would have thought that all it would take for me to play Silent Hill was for the protag to have a sick pink coat?

A short comic I’ve done for ibenkrutt from tumblr

My zine, Why have there been no great women eroticists? Thank you to the lovely @hamletmachine.bsky.social @jimmyjimsjim.bsky.social @passionphantom.bsky.social @anyhoozlebee.bsky.social @heartcoredev.com for letting me speak to them and include them in this work

Also, if you're based in Toronto and also interested in horny stuff, consider coming to the Erotic Arts and Crafts Fair on Feb 8th

I'm Bracy, a horny scholar. I am a scholar of the horny. My current zine (which was also my masters thesis) examined the erotic artmaking of queer women and femmes. For more such explorations, please consider following me.

The point is for you to be scared. The point is for you to be too exhausted and inundated to take true action. The point is for you to feel defeated. The point is for you to feel isolated. Don’t believe the point. Take a deep breath. Focus on community, on tangible actions.

Last year, I was interviewed by @bracy.bsky.social about shame, desire, and the joys & pitfalls of making erotic art & comics. tjandamal.com/sac/intervie... CW for brief mention of sexual assault.

I’m obsessed with this 1974 photo of Cassandra Peterson
