“We’ve been rocking with Plus Ultra Entertainment (@plusultraentertainment) since day one, and it’s always felt like home for Blerd Campus. So to announce Star Platinum (@star.platinumcosplay305) as the official guest for this year’s party is incredibly refreshing.

I know firsthand how incredible she is to work with, and I have no doubt she’ll get along with absolutely everyone in the organization. Finding a place where you aren’t just tolerated, but welcomed with open arms and genuinely appreciated, means everything to us. We love being able to send our team out to events that share that same energy.
Thank you again for welcoming Star and the Blerd Campus crew. It’s going to be a night to remember! Let’s make it happen. 🩸✨🕷️

📍: Kitchen & Kocktails, 1300 I St NW
🗓️: October 29th | 8PM - 11PM
🎟️: Tickets at Iamplusultra.com

Saw all the commotion in the Discord tonight about the dance battle, and it is beyond crazy that in this area, blatant racism from a venue stopped @undead_lifestyle from getting to finish their battle and perform the routine they cooked up for the evening.

I was originally saving all of our full live performances exclusively for the Blerd Campus Substack, but after seeing what happened tonight, I couldn’t wait. Since tonight’s crowd got robbed of that moment, we’re dropping the uncut footage right here. @undead_lifestyle pulled up to our F*CK AI Showcase last night, had one hell of a time, and killed it on stage—I watched it in person myself, and talent like this deserves to be seen.

I cannot stress this enough: this video is 6 minutes long—double the standard 3-minute Reel limit, which means the algorithm is not going to push it on its own. I need pure, organic support from everybody who was part of tonight’s event to come through, like, comment, and reshare this so it actually reaches the timeline.

Do it not just to give @undead_lifestyle the flowers they were robbed of tonight, but to support @intermixdmv a whole. I know this is a massive, tough blow for them on just their second event, and I’m really bummed out this happened. As organizers, we know how unpredictable location picking is—one minute a spot seems like the best venue ever, and the next minute they’re catering to a certain crowd and acting like they don’t want “your kind” in the building, whether that’s cosplayers, Black people, or both.

Unfortunately, this shit happens in this industry, so please don’t let a foul venue get you down. Keep your heads up, stay motivated, and keep pushing forward.

Tagging all the cosplay guests and the community below—let’s override the algorithm, run the reshares and comments up on this 6-minute cut, and show massive love to @intermixdmv and @undead_lifestyle

🚨 NO, THIS IS NOT A DREAM—BUT YOU GOT ONE HELL OF A WRESTLER IN FIRST! 🎙️🔥

And what better night to drop this massive tease than right in the middle of AEW WrestleDream?! 🤼‍♀️⚡️

First, a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the livestream last night! Even when things don’t go 100% to plan, seeing y’all tap in—all the way down to our viewers in Atlanta—meant everything. Your presence in that stream felt just like Goku calling for energy for a Spirit Bomb. We felt every bit of that support. 🙌✨

Back at the start of summer, I announced The Lounge with a mission to elevate the queer community and highlight incredible talent. Life takes steps and processes, and it’s all for the good. I always love putting on for local DMV creators, and I would’ve been completely satisfied starting right there—but trusting the process just opened the door to something unprecedented that I didn’t even think was possible yet.

I have done the impossible. Blerd Campus has officially secured an interview with someone on the AEW active roster! 💥

We are working on a sit-down with a wrestler that is big, generational, and was right there building a wrestling company on their back

Part 1 of many tonight. Pray for the camera roll.
3 hours with Star ⭐️ = 300 pieces of content.
We are just setting up the venue,

Event setup is supposed to be chill, right? Not when you’re in the mind of Star ⭐️. A couple hours in and the content vault is already overflowing.

That’s just the... MENTALITY. ⚡️🔊

🌍 Blerd Campus is officially going international! 🌍

Please join us in giving a massive welcome to the newest member of our team, Candiesprings! Representing Jamaica, she is officially on board as our lead correspondent on the ground.

She is going to cover so much of the beautiful island of Jamaica, giving us a front-row view of a vibrant culture that isn’t always fully known or highlighted. Through her platform, she’ll be using this rich culture to drive and inspire exactly what we’ve been missing here in the United States. As we establish our presence in Jamaica, she will be ensuring this culture is detailed and documented beautifully every step of the way.

As we build out our international programming, we are actively looking for visionary creators in all locations to join the movement. We believe that bringing the art of cosplay over to Brazil is such a good and fair trade-off—bridging our cultures and elevating the creative spaces we all share.
There are plenty of opportunities to build together, and so much more collaboration is on the way. We are completely ready and excited to welcome our international family into the fold.

Welcome to the team, Candiesprings! Let’s make history. 🎉✨

Remember when Lip Sync Battle used to dominate Spike TV? We are bringing that exact energy to the F*CK AI Showcase to break the ice and set the tone for the day.

This event is built in three distinct phases: the interactive side, the live show side, and the party side. Because whether you are paying $12 or $2,000 for a ticket, you should never be subjected to a boring room.

We are kicking the interactive block off at 3 PM with an all-out Lip Sync Battle. You can sign up right at the door this Friday, but we only have a limited amount of time windows. Once those performance slots are filled, they are filled.

If you already grabbed your 12$ ticket and want to lock in your spot early, let us know and we will put your name on the list before the doors even open.

📍 Station 3510 Art Gallery, Mount Rainier, MD
🗓️ This Friday | 3 PM
🎟️ 12$ Tickets in Bio

Building a vision from the ground up is a heavy lift. I can count my true ride-or-die day ones on one hand—my co-CEO @jazzpinkypromise and my four original pillars. They are my absolute foundation. But on this journey, Star has proven without a doubt that she belongs in that rare echelon.

When we hit a massive roadblock for the F*CK AI Showcase—our original DJ canceled, the budget was tied up, and the money was unrecoverable—Star completely saved the day. She went out of her way to lock in @djdav3_ to take over our audio booth. Through selfless, clutch moves like this, she continues to bring her unapologetically fun attitude, fierce loyalty, and the beautiful, vibrant rhythm of her Latin culture to everything she touches. I am eternally grateful for everything she has done.

To honor her hustle and the genuine love she pours into this campus, we are dedicating the final club hour of the night entirely to her.

Welcome to Star’s Baila Block.
Once that final hour hits, the rest of the night is fueled by her energy, featuring DJ Dave on the mix to shut the building down.

Show your support for the people holding this event together. When you secure your ticket—whether you are paying in person at the door or using the link in our bio—make sure you mention that you were recommended by Star or DJ Dave!

📍 Station 3510 Art Gallery, Mount Rainier, MD
🗓️ Friday, October 16th start time 3pm | Star’s Baila Block begins at later in the evening
🎟️ $12 Tickets in Bio (Mention Star or DJ Dave at checkout!)

We aren’t just launching a page. We built the machine. 🚀
We are officially fully operational and ready to host. We are stepping up to compete directly with Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube because we finally built our own hub.
For too long, creators have been boxed in.

If you are exhausted by the algorithm throttling your reach, tired of unnecessary guardrails dictating what you can say, and worried about AI scraping and stealing your hard work—welcome to the Blerd Campus Network.

Here is our promise to you:
Zero AI Theft: We do not use AI to generate or scrape art. Your content belongs to you, and it is protected on our site.

Zero Algorithms: No more performance anxiety. You distribute your content exactly how you want to.

Zero Censorship: Be your true, raw, unfiltered self without dealing with corporate BS.
We are actively scouting for three types of partners right now:

1. The Established: Content and shows that already exist but need a reliable network.

2. The Visionaries: Concepts that are ready to get put into motion.

3. The Veterans: Established homes and brands looking to expand without limits.

The best part? You don’t have to sign your life away.
You do not have to stream only on our sites. We will actively support, market, and push your shows on our regular social media feeds. But we are no longer relying on those legacy platforms to broadcast our talent. When you host with us, you get 100% creative freedom.

If you are ready to stop playing by their rules and start building your own empire, hit the DM or tap the link in our bio. The network is open. Let’s work
