Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Best take, right here.

This is why I'm #FuckIce all day, everyday. People can do everything correctly and still be betrayed by the systems put into place.

Register to vote, pay attention to local elections, get these "game makers" out of here, and put in people who actually care about us.

#FreeLud.

They took one of our own.

He was there to renew his work VISA. He was doing things “the right way,” and they took him anyway.

"The new Evo calendar and the grassroots/corpo split"

I wrote about the new Evo event calendar, its effects on locally owned events, and how the mutually beneficial relationship between grassroots and "main game" funded FGC may be approaching a fracture point.

shame is back on the menu boys

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

Two colour illustration of Barad Dûr, with Sauron's eye at the top. surrounded with the ring inscription in elvish. the sky is red with sparks and ash floating in the air, the tower is above a fiery chasm. The front doors are glowing red with silhouettes of chains and armouries. A cloud of ash conceals the horizon. This will be a banner and riso print first. Digital prints coming later this year.

BARAD DÛR

Had the privilege last night of watching Sinners in 70MM at Ryan Coogler's favorite theater, Grand Lake in Oakland. They did a Q&A with the film crew after.

What a magical film

Letting go of Evo I don’t know if there’s a whole lot to say about Evo that hasn’t already been said, but I figured I should write something about Evo’s…

"Letting go of Evo"

I wrote about why I'm breaking my Evo attendance streak (every year since 2011; first Evo was 2003). It's sad, but I think this a good opportunity to celebrate the Evo moments that got me here before moving on.

Last week: Spike Lee made to apologize for the phantom antisemitism of wearing the 🇵🇸 flag at a basketball game an Israeli was playing in like solidarity with the oppressed is a slur.

This week: Asking for an apology from a white man who actually slurred Black people is ableism.

Done with being a convenience instead of a priority.

There’s a reason why the best & most cathartic part of Sinners was after the vampires were dead & gone man

My ethnicity is Black. I capitalize the B because the culture created by my ancestors in the US is monumental in its own right and distinct from other members of a shared diaspora.

Hard pass on twisting those facts into ahistorical talking points indistinguishable from white ethnonationalism.

have some feelings about thanking the audience for their “understanding and helping create a respectful space for everyone” when it is very clearly not a respectful space for everyone

Belated big happy birthday!
