Friendly Reminder: Anti-trans and pro-Black can’t coexist. Being pro-Black includes all Black people. Yes, even the ones you pretend not to see. #BlackTransMen #LGBTQ #BlackSky

Currently babysitting my mom’s new puppy. He’s a Shih Tzu chihuahua mix with a very “unique” face. She named him “Koda” but he definitely looks more like a “Frank” to me. #dogsky

Curious about Black and Brown ace folks especially. Did being from a family culture where sex was either super hyped or super taboo make it harder to realize you were asexual? I want to hear those stories. #BlackAce #BlackSky #aromantic

If you’re still “not political,” you’re fine with state violence as long as it skips you.

Trying to stop living in survival mode as a Black person is wild because… what do you even replace it with? If you’ve started that process, what was your first non-survival habit? #Blacksky #mentalhealth

What’s one boundary that you’re absolutely not negotiating in 2026, even if it pisses people off? #LGBTQ #Blacksky

Marlon Wayans says he has a ‘natural instinct’ to protect his trans son www.thepinknews.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

So if the first book in my Black, queer, magical girl series is about the next generation of magical girls. And the second is them stepping back and wondering why the monsters are returning. It only makes sense that Book 3 introduces us to the original team, illustrated here by Tiana Conyers 👀👀👀

Every time I reread a book, I realize the plot didn’t change, I did. Growth is rude like that.

We don’t talk enough about how vulnerable it is to let somebody really look you in the eyes and not look away.

What’s a novel you finished and immediately thought, “No one I know is safe until they read this too”?

Finish the sentence: “Being Black and queer taught me that love is allowed to look like ________.”

Today I wrote about learning to fly and escape everything and how my family taught me a resilience I never asked for. If you’ve ever run from pain instead of sitting with it, this might be for you. It’s about the price of survival. #Blacksky #MentalHealthMatters #Incarceration

My Favorite History Books of 2025 🗃️ open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...

The Root pointed out that Silence of the Lambs is the only horror film to win Best Picture. Zero Black directors have ever won. Sinners is fighting 100 years of history But we don’t need a trophy to know it’s a classic. The culture validates the art. #BlackSky #Sinners #Oscars #BlackCinema

The math isn’t mathing on this gender care vote. 3 Dems helped Marjorie Taylor Greene pass it. Don’t praise the 4 GOP who voted “No” on jail time. They still voted to ban Medicaid funding. Making care unaffordable is a ban. #BlackSky #Trans #Politics #BlackTrans

You can't support Black trans people if you don't understand who they are. A lot of people get tripped up on terminology. Here is a breakdown of common definitions of Gender Identity and Expression to clear up the ignorance. #BlackTrans #BlackSky #Transgender

They are working overtime to block healthcare for the most vulnerable. 🚨 Let’s be clear: Banning Medicaid coverage is a direct attack on Black transgender youth. We need to talk about what this really means. 👇🏾 #blacktrans

Have you started watching your Christmas movies? For many, those cheesy, predictable, and loveable movies are the only way to get through the holidays. So, if you need a bit of comfort, check out these funny, adorable, and relatable films.

My ambition be loud, but my body be like nah, let’s nap.

This year’s honorees read like a love letter to bold, visionary storytelling. Chloé Zhao will receive the Trailblazer Award Presented by Google, while Nia DaCosta and Geeta Gandbhir will be honored with the Vanguard Awards Presented by Acura for Fiction and Nonfiction, respectively.

Incremental reform hasn’t stopped racist outcomes. Hasn’t stopped excessive force. Hasn’t stopped legal loopholes protecting the same people. Why? Because the status quo is built on anti-Blackness. “Reforming” it means asking it to be a polite version of itself. #SonyaMassey #PoliceReform

Texas Appears to Be Collecting a List of Trans People That Request Gender Marker Changes No one has said why the identifying information is being compiled. www.them.us/story/te... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Monogamous people will say “Imagine needing more than one person” while they’re out here juggling three situationships. Make it make sense.

Wild that 2025 is almost over. This year made me sit with all the parts of myself I’ve been ignoring. It was raw, confusing, and full of lessons that finally make sense.

Watching Jujutsu Kaisen alone in a theater right now. This is a vibe.

Los Angeles: Anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes reached record-highs last year in this gay haven www.advocate.com/cri... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is leading the pack with a jaw-dropping 17 Critics Choice Award nominations coming within a breath of Barbie’s record-setting 18 just two years ago.

Killings of Black Panthers dedicated with plaque in Chicago 56 years later The plaque marks the Near West Side home where Black Panther leaders Mark Clark and Fred Hampton were killed by police on Dec. 4, 1969. chicago.suntimes.com/chicago/2025...

Watching this #Diddy documentary like, yeah I see why he trying to get Netflix to snatch it down 😭 50 Cent’s dedication to being petty and bitter? Iconic. Aspirational.

So breaking generational curses really just means hanging out by yourself, huh?

I buried my first film, Assigned Sex, because I was ashamed of it. But a story about gender, faith, and family in a Black body that never fit the box still matters. Transgender filmmakers, sound engineers, and storytellers: let’s build this conversation together. #lgbtq #transpoc #blacktrans

My father was convicted for trafficking drugs when I was 8 old and spent several years in prison. Like so many Black men in the 90s during the War on Drugs, he disappeared into the system. I’m still unraveling how it destroyed my family and so many other Black families. #massincarceration #policing

you know what's so rewarding? practicing and getting slightly better at something.

Early truth feels like betrayal to people still comfortable in the lie.

The truth is the aesthetic.

Being an artist means clapping for yourself with one hand and dragging yourself with the other.

Happy Birthday Chadwick Boseman! We take a look at four times he brought some Black icons to life on the big screen.

The recipe is simple: white supremacy started it, capitalism funds it, patriarchy keeps it running.

The green part is slavery remixed as mass incarceration, same villain in a new costume.

Sweet potato pie is the best pie actually. Non-black people I don’t need to hear from you on this.

Not every queer, Black person desires to have sex, be in a relationship, or get married.

This one is for the Black millennials who grew up keeping family secrets that were killing them. The ones choosing therapy, language, and truth over ‘keeping it together.’ #BlackStories How did you break the silence in your house?
