We created a new platform based on our Metaphor Club. We're tired of the algorithms, and we're tired of being surrounded by anti-Black racists, misogynists, homophobes, and anti-intellectuals. $99 per year, and that helps us pay servers & keep those folks out. Want in? Email: alpha1906@gmail.com

When you saw this dude lick his lips in a '90s movie, you knew that he fucked everybody on that girl's trip...

Had a great time seeing my sands for our 40th anniversary since we crossed at Cal. Our real anniversary is April 21st, but this was the closest date we could meet. Love 'em to death! #2, #3, and #6. #1 is out of the country, #2 out of town, and #5 RIP

Over the past seven years, the Metaphor Club has done a bunch of Q&As with Black folks we've been proud to bring to the club:

Awesome MetaREAD tonight. Big ups to Ugo Obioha from UTA for coming out and giving feedback to our writers. One of the strongest group in a minute, we were able to rock eight writers tonight with great acting. Thanks for coming out!!!

My LA writers, remember to come and listen to six writers and their scripts during our cold table read. We'd love for you to offer feedback.

Since the Metaphor Club opened in 2018, we've held a monthly cold table read for screenwriters, particularly Black screenwriters. We believe in the value of a writer's community. If you'd like to give feedback on Tuesday, come! Free!

Now that we're in Jim Crow 2.0, Black people are supporting Black businesses. That's great. As one of The Metaphor Club's partners since 2018, I would like to give you tips.

When people with authoritarian tendencies, like the corrupt New York City mayor Eric Adams, think they're creating powerful images of law and order...but don't realize that the message conveyed is one of a single man going against an unjust system. #LuigManigone

Nah...the evil villain, Toaster Strudel, is looking to collect all five flavors of Pop Tarts at the bowl, and then...we'll all be ruled by the Herr Fuhrer Toaster Strudel for the next four years...

So back in 2000, I was signing copies of the Divine Nine at the Delta convention when I hear Nikki's voice. It is unmistakeable, but the LAST voice I thought I'd every hear addressing me. She says, "Is that Lawrence Ross, the author of the Divine Nine?"

I turn and go, ye...and then I'm STUNNED

I was fortunate enough to get to know her personally, and I have some funny stories to tell. She was just a wonderful person, and absolutely gracious to me for over 20 years. This is a devastating loss. She wrote the foreword to my book, The Divine Nine.
December 10, 2024 at 3:21 AM
I'm crushed.

Nikki wrote the foreword to the Divine Nine, and I also had the pleasure of spending a whole day with her at Virginia Tech about 20 years ago.

Just a wonderful person to me as a young writer, and I've never forgotten that grace.

We Alpha may be too damn cold, but the Inglewood Alphas are working to make sure everyone stays warm during this winter. So if you have a new or gently worn blanket or jacket, donate them at the Metaphor Club on Dec. 22nd.

No suspects, but this man was seen leaving the scene from two miles away from where the murder took place...
