intro:

I don't use any other social media.

I follow people only if I think I might learn something from them.

if you follow me I'll pretty much either follow you back or block you.

my follower count is actually like 17

Up to 50% of miscarriages in the first trimester happen because of defective DNA from the father

How many women have been labeled barren or infertile, when the truth is her man’s swimmers ain’t worth a damn?

he did not back up your point at all. there are way worse epidemics for teens than potent weed. he was saying the weed thing is lightweight compared to the chemicals they're pushing commercially.

I appreciate all of the folks that have read issue #1 of UNDEAD DUO so far!

It means a lot to me just for people to engage with my work, whether they like it or not.

I’m really excited to release issue #2 (it won’t be out until next year); I feel like it only gets better. Hope you stick with us!

You come across some slang you can’t understand from a group of which you are not a part.

Should you:

a) harass the members of that group for a definition

b) tell the members of that group their slang is not real language

c) shut the fuck up and keep it moving

d) it’s C! Pick C! Pick C!

It really is hard to make male friends as an adult because horrible men assume every other man is horrible like them but hiding it.

oh this is so true. we had a lot in common and it was only a *maybe* because I've been through that exact thing you're talking about. "I just gaslight her a lil bit to keep her calm" is a verbatim sentence from the mouth of a 30+ year old expecting a cosign. I just be waiting for the colors to show

a coworker I was (maybe) planning to hang with just got arrested for DV.

"you never know when it's a man" -wife

she was trying to say I shouldn't be hard on myself for not seeing signs but it made me realize the real reason I don't make new friends, I don't trust my own judgement. and shouldn't.

It’s Black Speculative Fiction month, so it’s only right that I have [finally] made issue #1 of my comic, UNDEAD DUO, available to read online for FREE.

Please, give it a read!

globalcomix.com/read/d501429...

The cover of Undead Duo #1.

It depicts a Black woman, ERA, in a tattered dress, holding a curved blade that resembles an Ethiopian Shotel. Directly behind her is the title, UNDEAD DUO, in all caps, with a red line that looks like a life plus running through the text. A little further behind Era is the wreckage of a red car.

At the top is the name of the contributors to this comic: BA Spann (me), Khalid Johnson (artist), Jamesia Bly (styling).
