My name is Paya. I am a black autistic artist, and I make video essays about the intersection between race, gender, mental illness, and neurodivergence.

This is a great video by Professor Flowers. Please don’t accuse her of being “attention-seeking” or of “dragging out drama”, she has a right to speak on all the harassment she’s received in the last year. Solidarity.

Hello everyone, thank you all again so much for what you've done for me.

One of my viewers commented asking for help, and I want to do my part in paying forward the kindness that's been gifted to me. They've recently lost their job, they come from an abusive household, and their mother is homeless. If anyone is still feeling generous, click the link below (or use @jprte) and send $3 their way. If you can't give anything, shares are always extremely helpful

I hope you are all having a blessed day, thank you for changing my life

Edit: Just fixed the link, it should work!

Here is another excellent video by Anansi’s Library. It’s about George Jackson, one of the lesser-known members of the Black Panther Party. Watch and be educated!

I love Lindsay Ellis, she’s one of my biggest inspirations. Heartbroken to see her go.

Twitter is one of the most toxic places imaginable and it’s why I never engage in any discourse. It’s just not worth it.

Do you play League of Legends, and/or have you watched Arcane?
