All right. I'm off to the word mines. Keep looking up, fam.

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

Image of text in a book that reads: For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. "Blessed are the merciful" in a courtroom? "Blessed are the peacemakers" in the Pentagon? Give me a break.

Just a writer being super chill.

Context always adds to the work. (Not always in a good way—but knowing the context can only add to your understanding of the work and help you decide how to engage with and interpret it.)

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

People often apologize when they mention audiobooks to me, I guess because I’m a writer and they assume I think it’s some kind of betrayal.

Look. People were googling “what’s a tariff?” the day AFTER the election. I’m grateful y’all are reading, however you’re reading. Also, I love audiobooks.

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

Already done. I couldn’t decorate this despair fast enough lol

📌 This is great! Thank you.

Even better 😅

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

This is great!

Hope you had some luck!

This is a terrific idea….I say loudly enough that my husband asks “what is?” 😅

I’m at the take a walk and see if I can jump start my brain portion of the writing day

What a gift! Can I audit your class?

Ha!

Wiping my tears with it now

Thanks! Writers always have es h others backs

Oh, putting this one on my list for the next story

One difficult chapter and I discovered we hadn’t painted behind our fridge.
