First poster for ‘INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE’ Season 4. Now titled ‘QUEEN OF THE DAMNED’.

- please know I will react exactly this way if you use AI as a source in any conversation. God bless.

Let’s get it right in 2026.

I guess we’ll see…

Someone on Threads called Zora Neale Hurston a sellout. That app is deeply unserious.

People do realize that Interview With A Vampire and The Vampire Lestat are…books, right?

The face of a formerly enslaved Black women on currency in these times would symbolize what exactly? Only Black capitalists were holding onto hope that this plan would materialize.

@ororosfire Word pronunciation is a foundational part of literacy. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Epitome being pronounced incorrectly is not a literacy crisis, he used it correctly. Which means he can write and read it but he’s probably not heard it out loud.

Tomi Adeyemi on TikTok saying she’s separating herself from the film adaptation of Children of Blood and Bone. Interesting!

Oh. This is messy.

@MOtule People hate the idea, because they don’t actually know what it is. They’ve never read any theory or engaged with it on a level to actually comprehend it.

@kasandraalexis_ The cast for the Creed tv spinoff for Amazon was just announced & it has everyone but a bw casted in a role 😬.

Lawd folks dragging MBJ. A leopard does not change their stripes. I’ll never forget his anti-bw tweets about hair that he ain’t bother to delete…

Each character really has to unpack their internalized anti-blackness. Some of y’all need to read this.

Hold up. Let me give Leave Your Mess At Home a chance.

I told my students last week that by giving over their critical thinking and other knowledge skills to generative AI, they are willingly turning themselves into slaves; as Frederick Dougalss wrote, "I found that to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, annihilate the power of reasons."
