I’m so impressed! He’s using dance to talk about cultural transference, identity and code switching and character building. And he’s succeeding at it like this is great!

Next up the atmosphere's very own @rude1.blacksky.team presenting on blacksky and building a huge Black community on the decentralised web. #monktoberfest "I never even wanted to be on social media". "The problem is that billionaires control our media spaces, how we feel about each other..."

Just saw an 80 reply thread (on Threads) of bots saying Black Caribbeans aren’t Black. Don’t compare Blacksky to that bot farm, faux engagement generator, anti-blackness factory ever again.

When you really sit and think about it, it's nonsensical to get all bent out of shape over people who have sex with friends. We have sex with complete strangers we meet off apps, in bars, parties and never bat an eye but having sex with a person you already know and trust is crossing the line. LOL

One of the things I love about Blacksky is how they talk about this plainly. We don't really know what social media is capable of because we've always had to work around the whims of bigots who build platforms. What if we just go rid of them and built what we needed ourselves?

Another platform where Black folks and the sauce they bring are exploited, until they yet again become digital refugees fleeing from harassment and violence because of the lack of access to safety tools that prioritize them. Black folks deserve a culture of digital safety. It’s time for change.

Really enjoyed this film. Keeps you on edge and makes things understandable, without being simplified. Ruminating a lot on faith and hope. Mahershala and Aida's performances stole the show

The cultivation of race meant the cultivation of gender, there’s plenty of tribes that had differing gender identities which as our identities were stolen, beaten and snuffed out of us, were lost to the middle passage.

JD (by way of Blacksky) @jdot.blacksky.team · 30/09/2026

Gender is directly connected to race and folks forget that all the time. In order to be considered a man or woman, you had to be human, meaning you had to be white. Black folks actually experienced an “ungendering” (Hortense Spillers) during slavery... 1/2
