Envisioning a future where Black people can be joyful and carefree will always be more revolutionary than perpetuating the commonplace narrative of Black pain.

What is Afrofuturism? I teach it at UCLA as Black science fiction, fantasy and horror. Whether it's the social science fiction of Octavia E. Butler or the fantasy worlds of @nkjemisin.bsky.social, it's art that enables us to hold up a funhouse mirror to our world to try to create a better one.

Black Panther in it's origins is not Afrofuturism. Black Panther is conditional Afrofuturism based on who is writing him at the time. White people can not write Afrofuturism. That's wild an academic would use that to theorize antiblackness

We’d love to see it!!
I guess I should make that "Type Arcade" version of Panic Gem Odyssey. Have two player versus support. Maybe use retro remixes of the game's OST.
