One of my faves! 💖💖💖

Our juke joint for #BIPOCVampDay weekend was such a vibe! While events like these are incredibly stressful to put together, we’ve cultivated a small community of like-minded people who understand the whimsy I’m trying to spread. Together, we make magic. 💖💖💖

Episode 3 is otw!! Tomorrow #TheComicShopSeries youtu.be/4pgWzar5QHo?...

Omg! We just hit $15K on my Kickstarter! Which means Star Wielder #1 is 100% funded! There's still time to grab your copy of this over-sized debut issue of a story about turning fear into power. 👉 www.kickstarter.com/projects/imj...

Juke joint is two weeks away and I just woke up from a nightmare that I was completely unprepared. 😩😩😩

This project needs to be made, but it can only be made if it's fully funded. It needs just under $3000, and it has two days. Please donate and share. 🙏🏻 Check out Star Wielder: Issue #1 | A 50+ Page Debut Comic by @imjayhero.com Jay Hero on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/imj...

I love hoarding old emails. One from a friend with "zombies in February" in the subject line is just her politely declining my zombie hunt plans for my birthday in the most humorous way. 🤣😂🤣

4 Days Left!!! Check out Star Wielder #1 by @imjayhero.com on Kickstarter and help bring this amazing story to the world by backing it, spreading the word, or both! www.kickstarter.com/projects/imj...

I used to say "kiss my grits" under my breath all the time as a kid when somebody made me mad. 🤣😂🤣

Nope, I have old photos from when I was a kid, Olan Mills photos with me and my immediate family members, and even glamour shots of me and my dog (RIP 🕊).

Imagine this song but with the "WAP" beat. #jukejoint

😂🤣😂

So many bangers! Oooweee! 🤯🤯🤯

@terronaustin.bsky.social 👀👀👀

Woohoo! 🎊🎉🎊

Who's gonna put this over the top?!?

$6740 is needed in the next 18 hours to fund the first All-Black Women Fantasy graphic novel anthology from @burningphoenixpr.bsky.social @salylockheart.bsky.social @ryanoakleyart.bsky.social @stephwilliams.bsky.social @phoebeholmesart.bsky.social #sdcc

It's honestly one of the best things about being Black American. Teenage rebellion was never based upon rejecting our parents' music.

It's official: LALOVAVI will make its world premiere as part of the Cincinnati Opera's 2026 season on July 9 and 11, 2026!

I need to plan another one of these! Maybe for Black Futures Month next year? Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔 #BlackBooksky

I know half of the US is heading out to SDCC but if you all spare a morsel of attention for an indie comic kickstarter in its last hours? Midnight Mystics has less than 72 hrs left to make its goal! www.kickstarter.com/projects/844...

The CinSei manga and anime pop-up shop's grand opening is next weekend! 🎊🎉🎊 The owners are celebrating with a block party.

💙🥹🙏🏾

They’ve got issues. Trailer drops July 28th! #TheComicShopSeries

I was dressed up at a con over the weekend pushing the Midnight Mystics anthology Kickstarter along with @azizatgn.bsky.social's comics. People were very interested! #Blacksky #BlackCosplay

Is there convention etiquette for content creators? I feel like I keep seeing more and more digital creators in con spaces with little to no home training. If you want people to interact with you, at least introduce yourself before sticking a mic in their faces with a camera already recording.

Another example of how we will hype up anybody! 😂🤣😂

I've been thinking about this since you posted this yesterday. Making friends as an adult is hard as hell. Trying to meet new people in your 30s and 40s is almost like being back in high school in some cases. You're questioning everything.

We are almost at 8K! There are some tiers, too. There's $100 and $500 option. You can become an official patron of a Black-owned publisher! Check out Midnight Mystics: An Anthology of Fantasy Comics By Black W by Burning Phoenix Press on #kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/844...

Ten years already???

"Cry For You" has to be in the Begging Hall of Fame. They were pleading in the desert IN LEATHER.

I'm saying a little prayer that my neighbor isn't having people over tomorrow. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

📣📣📣 We're hosting a Sinners-style juke joint at the National Commission for Black Arts & Entertainment space in Over-the-Rhine on September 19! #blacksky

Looking like an extra in The Matrix! 😎😎😎

You know when you find a new song and you listen to it like 70 times in a row? (I do this frequently lol) Well, that's how I feel about @ldlewiswrites.com and her writing. I will consume them over and over again, each time feeling exactly like the first. Truly one of my forever faves!

There's something so transcendent about this song. I could listen to it for hours.

I explained to my 73-year-old mother how AI data centers are hurting poor/Black communities and she promised to stop putting those reels of AI babies reenacting scenes from Tyler Perry movies in the family group chat. Success! #blacksky
