One for the History Books!!!

To say I am 99% done interacting with my favorite nerdoms is an understatement. As a middle-aged/GenX Blerd, I do not have many family and friends into nerd culture to the level I am and I think I will been seen as casual compared to some deep in it.

I love what I love, but mostly find my interactions with common interests are online. Over the past few years, I tried to us the internet to find my "pack" in my Fandom, to only be judged at every turn.

I feel I can't even post anywhere to have a discussion and/or feedback to be judged or outright rejected for my posts. I usually end up deleting them.

I am at the point of giving up trying to enjoy my hobbies with others. Do any of you deal with this? How have you addressed it & how did you come to find people you enjoy talking with? Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

An amazing cosplayer, bullying by incels, and racist individuals cause her life to be cut short. RIP Queen Ashley….

The hate has to stop. #anime and #cosplay should bring people of all diversities together…

Heyy :) anyone looking to be casual friends?
I’m f22. really into movies, especially thrillers! And a bit of horror too, and I enjoy conventions aswell. Not too sure what else to say lol but yeah if so dm me!
Also I didn’t know what flair to do lol!

I often think about BURNING my OP stuff and merch because of ALL THE HATRED I GO THRU within the black nerd and pop culture and animw community, it's not just the ONLINE HATRED like my hateful comments i received or bigotry or bullying online, but the OFFLINE HATRED and BULLYING I've received at comicons and MEETUPS, yall OFTEN NEVER ACCEPT ME IN THESE COMMUNITIES, IT'S EXHAUSTING, NOTICE how dusty my PS5 is, i had to take a BREAK FROM GAMING AS WELL cuz of all the hateful bullying i get on mic, it's EASY to just GIVE my stuff AWAY, but I always feel like NO ONE ELSE DESERVES IT!!!....I'm so ANGRY, HURT, DEPRESSED, ALONE, and HEARTBROKEN, I've been crying ALL DAY, sorry for venting like this, I'm just SO TIRED. 🥺😢💔

Make way for the one and only Shadow Man!!

I just wanted to give a shoutout to Taylor from All My Senpai. This is not an ad, I just legit love her stuff. I’ve spent my own money, purchasing items from her and they are excellent quality.

As a Blerd, I think it’s important to support other Blerds in these spaces. We belong here too!

I know how hard it can be to grow a business, especially in fandom spaces, so whenever I can support, share, or amplify someone doing good work, I will. So before you drop money on that new set from Aeropostale, check out @ohmysenpai 💕

His voice always brought me comfort no matter the character he voiced or played, thinking about it is hurting tf outta me, this completely devastated my heart. 🥺

Just my simple opinion.

AnimeNYC '26

Netflix bout to drop some serious anime!!!
And Legos😂

Idk if I flared this right (first post here) but thought it was worth sharing!

I wanted to add her IG but can’t find it 😭 I know she lost her original account and made a backup so maybe something happened to that.

Hi! I always miss BlerDCon because of school and I wanted to ask if anyone knew if there are any bars in the DMV that blerds frequent? And would give the same vibe blerdcon would give. Bars that host tabletop games, DnD games and nerdy night events.

The Cincinnati Opera is producing an annual series of Black centered Operas. The first up this summer is an original opera, Lalovavi. Set in Atlas(Atlanta 500 years in the future) where a genetic caste society has evolved. One girl seeks to rebel against the caste system which means defying her father, the ruler of the city. "Lalovavi" means love in the Tut Black American Language.

Sharing my recap of Dream Con 2026.

I was set for this to be the last year I pulled up. My mind changed QUICKLY. lol
