There's 10 more days left to Support The Three Tomes on Kickstarter! Can we make give this midwest witch the best whimsical, and magical story ?

We've hit one stretch goal for a fully animated opening but let's try and make it for more stretch goals! Let's smash the disposable black girlfriend trope together, let's show that black women and femmes can be loved... that our stories are more than just our pain and we can be magical and belong in fantasy stories.

on jan 22, 2026, jaque ramon was shot 11 times in the back and murdered by (at least) three unidentified san bernadino sheriff's department officers who refused to identify themselves when filmed and confronted at the scene.

they just. left jaque there. for paramedics to pick up. we still don't know why in the world they thought this could have ever been a necessary response to an unarmed Black man, no matter his supposed crimes; the department refuses to properly comment on the situation.

i have not been able to support his family financially because i am going through extreme hardship right now. however, this is my community, and this is my home; i try to be there for the gatherings (every 22nd, on the monthly anniversary of his death, at place it happened, by the petco across from the tyler mall) i can make it to.

if any of you can please help boost & support his case and his mother's gofundme, please please please do so.

we think the media has been suppressing his case, so there's been very little coverage even locally. despite being very involved in my community, both i and many others did not even learn about this until very recently. please try to signal boost, share, support, etc if you can. it is so important word gets out there.

jaque's mother is struggling a lot, too. i haven't been able to talk to her much, but it's very plain to see for anyone who sees or talks to her directly. she deserves answers, justice, and peace.

please help us bring her that.

What would you do if you were a queer Black teen girl in the 2010s midwest that suddenly became a witch after reading from an ancient tome?

Now you've got to fight monsters , face off against an evil that's after you ... and also two vampires have feelings for you ( and they dig each other a bit too) . Check out this Black Queer YA Coming of age Magical Girl Witch in the midwest story! The Three Tomes. Live on Kickstarter Card Captor Sakura and Sailor Moon x Twilight and The Vampire Diaries ( minus the racism).

Too often in media, Black women and femmes are seen as disposable. They're stepping stones on the path to the " true relationship". They're the side best friend, they're killed off for the narrative.. Too often in media Black people period are questioned for why they're in fantasy, or supernatural stories. " Why is a mermaid Black?" " Why is that dwarf Black?" " Why is that knight Black?" There's rampant biphobia and questioning of people's queer idenity as nonbinary or fear of being open about your Black queerness period... Too often in media our stories as Black people are only accepted if it centers our pain. Very rarely are we given opportunity in mainstream media to have our whimsical and fun coming of age stories without black trauma at it's core. Our history is part of us, but we can have our " Juno's " , our " Twilights" , our " Hunger Games" ...etc.. too. We are able to be and should be present in all genres and tell all kinds of stories. The Three Tomes aims to dismantle all of this. It's a Queer YA coming of age story about Tammy Harris, age 17. She lives in the Chicago Suburbs and is having her own adventure and dealing with grief and change through the magical lens of witches and vampires. The story centers on her, and a host of queer black and brown characters taking the lead. A Lesbian Witch, A gay Vampire priest, a gay Vampire villian, two bi, and pan vampire boys ( tammy's love interests) and Tammy's best friend who is nonbinary and black/indian mixed. Character Bios here Black people can be whimsical, magical and we deserve to be in fantasy stories.

Support The Three Tomes on Kickstarter as we push towards our stretch goals for full animation of scenes and episode 3. To check out episode one and learn more about the world of The Three Tomes. Check out THE MASTER POST here.

With a heavy heart, I come to you all with the news announced by close friends of Cat Frazier that she had passed away on Monday, June 29.

She had been running @animatedtext since 2012, with her impact on the internet SHAPING tumblr. If you have a years long history on this site, you’ve seen her art.

She ran a venue in Oakland called Oakland Secret, a punk venue where I’d vend at regularly as an artist. She made a safe space for queer artists, artists of color, and local furs too. I am forever grateful for her work both in the Bay Area creative scene and online, and am forever changed by the totality of her impact.

I’ll be linking some articles from the 2010’s about her impact online: The Fader | Action | Jezebel | ObviouslySocial

I invite you to take a visit through her archive, and if you have a long history with this site like I do, it’s like walking down memory lane.

Couldn’t get the full resolution gif to load, so just imagine the resolution of the bottom image in the upper animation.

This isn't my usual type of post, BUT I know this'll get more traction on my art account.

A creator I, and many have watched for years, recently got hacked and lost all 7+ years of videos, posts, and all content she's made. Thumin had been tricked by a fake support link. The person that did this also sent her dead cat photos to mess with her.

Safe to say this was a racist attack. She's lost her livelihood and source of income.

One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.

And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.

There are many scripts online you can follow, many ways to tweak your message to fit your senator (ESPECIALLY if they are up for reelection this year). Whether it's a recording you reach or a real person, be straightforward, don't argue, just let your rep know that you are a constituent and you oppose the KIDS act, etc.

if I make these links clickable they'll get deleted so please copy and paste them:
