Trans Jamaican deserves the same opportunities to exist. We will not be erased!!! @AndrewHolnessJM

@creole_creation It’s pretty awesome!

@aruralmusing Love

The conversation is generative for thinking about black southern expression generally, because the juke joint scene that transcends space/time, doesn’t even include J-Setting—a dance style born in Mississippi. A missed opportunity. We need to read Rico Self’s work.

@PrinceONYXWrld Thanks for adding your work here! Looking forward to checking it out.

Well I’m a genre based filmmaker Horror Sci-Fi Fantasy Thriller Mystery Suspense Supernatural I have a whole series I’m working on revamping that focuses, follows & centers vampires & other supernatural beings. It’s exactly what y’all looking for. youtu.be/o7ZEnXGIzig?si…

"In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent mass displacement of Black neighborhoods in New Orleans, Black queer performers redefined notions of belonging throughout the city...'Raising the Bottom' shows how Black queer artists address, remix, and redirect stereotypes to amplify community power, pleasure, and solidarity." -- @DukePress dukeupress.edu/raising-the-bo…

@callmedeuce__ Amen 🙏🏿

People who actually love you don’t disrespect you. They don’t disregard your feeling like they’re trash and deem them ‘uninmportant’. They don’t speak on you with mean spiritedness. Love is a lot of things, but it is not hurtful or harmful.

@solanumlucani and is.

trans men are men btw

@rrandolphjr In trans*ition, we might say!

Black folk are not an either/or people, we are also/and people since time immemorial…

@enbysparadise Of course!

i like collecting pretty gay boys like im thanos 😈

@iTerryTommy It’s okay luv you got time lol. This year fasho! 🙂‍↕️

@iTerryTommy now I need to go rewatch the little Richard documentary.

So even the black gay “🌈film makers🦄” saying we need to support y’all’s work. Well actually, no—queerness* in film and media is more than two cisgendered gym-bodied black gay men f*cking, sorry lolz.

For example: masculine presenting* women, feminine presenting* men, disabled folks, gender ambiguity, etc…absent, lol. Those representations aren’t an absent phenomenon in the Delta, so I’ve seen in research.

funny thing about all this carrying on about black queer “representation,” in s!nneR$, is that it was never—at least, not for me—about asking to be included. It was merely an observation. Noticing something ≠ asking for inclusion.
