I saw some really beautiful flowers on my morning walk. Plus, the jasmine is blooming (I wish I could upload and share the scent, because it's incredible). Plus-plus, my squirrel friends are out. Happy Friday, friends! 🌸🐿️

We had a great night watching an improv show at UCB and then splitting a pistachio sundae. Date night, baby!

Hey, look what's up over at Dark Matter. They have a flash sale going on right now for current titles, too. You should check it out. 🖤 darkmattermagazine.shop/products/shiva

YEEEEHAW! Certified Weirdo time. I'm so grateful to the folks at Tenebrous for considering and selecting my story, 'They Remember Faces,' among the featured.

So excited to have a story in this absolute WEIRD BEAST of a book! Thank you Alex and Matt x

I'M A WEIRDO, BABY!!! Well, you already knew that, but the fine folks at @tenebrouspress.bsky.social have said, "You write weird shit, and we like it." My story, FULL IMMERSION, has been selected to appear in Brave New Weird, Volume 3! Congrats to all included in this stacked TOC!✨✨✨

May the 4th be with you! We found Mando and Grogu at Lawless Brewing and I made some Ewok moon pies from the Star Wars Galactic Baking cookbook.

Giving away an ARC of The Bewitching. Open worldwide. Enter below. Out this July. Three women in three different eras encounter danger and witchcraft in this multigenerational horror saga called “suspenseful and terrifying” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) gleam.io/VspDb/the-be...

Everything I read in April! Midnight on Beacon Street by Emily Ruth Verona So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar Somna by Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay Cosmic Dyke Patrol by Lor Gislason (ARC!)

About last night! @imtherealcatlady.bsky.social love you so much, and it was an absolute joy to help you celebrate 40 years of making this world a better place with your caring nature and unstoppable verve for life. This party was bananas, because of the vibe - so many incredible people in one...

I published How Lovely to Be a Woman: Stories and Poems two years ago today, and she continues to be the little collection that could. This book is still finding new readers, and I'm so grateful. Here's to feminine monstrosity and stories that bite back! Cheers with the good stuff! 🥃

Zero spoilers, because I'm not about that life, but for me, Thunderbolts* feels like a return to form for Marvel. I haven't had this much fun in a theater watching a superhero movie in a hot minute. I really enjoyed it and I'm excited for what's next!

Do you know how good it feels to order direct from a small press? So flipping good. I know every dollar counts, and the library is a great option, but if you can swing it, order direct. I know it makes a huge difference to me and anyone else in the indie pub world.

*tap tap tap* Is this thing on? 🎙️ Getting ready to announce some fun stuff. Stay tuned, friends!

Dinner tonight was crispy coriander chickpeas + roasted broccoli and Sichuan dukkah from Hetty Lui McKinnon's Tenderheart cookbook.

Did I pre-order the Sinners soundtrack on vinyl today? You bet your ass, I did! I cannot *wait* for it to drop later this year. Join me! www.madebymutant.com/format/17157...

Date night with my love @bmok.bsky.social! And uh, this cacio e pepe changed my life.

Be still my carb-and-garlic-loving heart! @bmok.bsky.social and I went to Calic this morning, and their bagel situation is insane!

It's been a beautiful day! We kicked it off with the 826LA Volunteer Appreciation Brunch, followed by a walk around Echo Park, an ube latte from Laveta, and a stop at A Good Used Book for #IndependentBookstoreDay. ☺️

Today's sketch!✍️

I did my best. I got up early to get on the treadmill, and it died on me 25 minutes into my workout. Like, wouldn't-turn-back-on died. And it's raining, so I guess I'm done. 🤣🤷‍♀️

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

I cannot wait to get my hands on this! Sonora has written so many pieces I love. Her greatest hits in a single volume? Hell yeah!

If you are reading this post, you are hereby forbidden for apologizing for things that aren’t your fault for the next 24 hours.

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors. Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts. Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

Part 2 of The Chant by @jeffschmidt.bsky.social for Ominous Thrill is out! This story is so much fun, and...your girl is back, chanting in Latin, being creepy. You know, the usual. 😉 Check out Part 2, and don't worry, Part 3 drops soon! Missed Part 1? Listen at www.ominousthrill.com!

Exiting through the gift shop after volunteering with 826LA! I love a Choose Your Own Adventure field trip. These kids come up with *the* most wild plots, and they are absolutely magical. #SupportLiteracy

I started my day at The Chocolate Dispensary in Echo Park, sipping French-style drinking chocolate and adding to my WIP about cockroaches and pesky ex-boyfriends. I got about 1,000 words down in less than an hour. Weeeee!

Today only, The Nightmare Box and Other Stories ebook is only 99 cents in the Cursed Morsels store. If the fascist bullshit of the world is getting you down, I highly recommend these stories. The ebook also comes with a free Solidarity Forever zine! www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/the-...

It's been one year without the sweetest of souls, my cuddle buddy, the strongest pup. Everyone who met Zen instantly fell in love. My heart hurts every day without him, but we were so lucky to have the time we did with Zen. We love you, buddy. No amount of time would've ever been enough. 🐾💙🐾💙

Hubby Steven Barnes and I have so much to say about SINNERS and its implications for storytelling and creators that we planned a free webinar to chop it up! Tuesday 4/29 at 5p PT / 8p ET REGISTER (for free) at iloveafrofuturism.com
