It can feel guilty to feel joy.
It can feel irresponsible to laugh while so much is burning.
But sometimes we resist joy not because we do not want it, but because we have confused our pain with our integrity.
Our latest reflection is on joy as practice, joy as refusal, and the quiet ways we return to ourselves and one another.
“Ain’t Shit Funny, But the Man Can’t Keep Me Down” is live now on Thee Color Block Substack.

OPEN BLOCK returns April 28th.
The kind of night where anything can happen—
and usually does.
Theme: Joy is a discipline.
Comedians, storytellers, monologues, and everything in between.
A space to show up, share, and be heard.
No pressure. No gatekeeping. Just the room.
If you’ve been meaning to share… this is your sign.
DM us to be added to the list.
April 28th | 7:30PM

joy is not always soft. sometimes it sounds like telling the truth and laughing anyway.

The group chat is spiraling.
The news is unhinged.
And somehow we’re still expected to act normal.
We’re not.
Laughing While the World Burns (Respectfully)
Thee Color Block’s comedy-centered gathering featuring live comedy, art, food, and the kind of release that only happens when the right people are in the room.
Tickets are now LIVE!

A recap from Femme Is a Blueprint.
Thank you to every artist who brought their work, every audience member who showed up open, and every person who helped shape the energy of the night.
This is why we gather.
A few questions worth returning to.
For your journal. For your group chat. For the version of you still learning how to ask for more.
Which one hit you first?
