Success as a writing and literature professor in 2025 is your former students hunting you down on day 1 of a new term to talk about what they learned viewing the #halftime with an analytical eye.

Please, for the love of whatever you believe or don't believe in, WEAR A MASK AND WASH YOUR HANDS! Something is going around: covid, bird flu, flu a/b. Idgaf. It put my ass down for 3 days, and I still sound like a seal.

Day Four of me asking you to help us open doors for Black and brown authors by subscribing to my publishing imprint for $5 or $12 a month. For less than a fast food trip, you can be a part of a community that is actively fighting for change. Come be a part. ❤️❤️✊🏾 Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com

If you’re interested in supporting an aspiring Black nonbinary writer this Black History Month, here are some books that I want to study: Amos Tutuola’s, Jamaica Kincaid’s, James Baldwin’s and Frantz Fanon’s entire catalogues. As well as the African Writer Series.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Holy Neptune! I didn't expect to win this. It was to create a backstory for the Neptune app icon in under 1000 words. For those who haven't heard of the #neptuneapp, they are definitely worth checking out. Beta testing for the first user wave started this weekend.

I am not comfortable with how few of you have read Queen and Conqueror by @isabelleolmo.bsky.social. Let’s do something about it. Imagine Game of Thrones, but replace all of the leading figures with powerful women of color. Sold? Good, don’t be a silly goose. Buy it: bookshop.org/a/87137/9798...

Hard agree! The discord is awesome, and Michael never misses with the books he reviews and promotes.

For everyone saying #booksarentpolitical, why are we freezing funds to libraries until they perform "comprehensive analysis” to ensure its grant and loan programs are consistent with the executive orders... www.everylibrary.org/statement_om...

Finding out one of your former creative writing students is now a published #poet is just 🤩. I remember when he was nervous about turning in his first assignment because he thought his writing was bad.

One of the pros of being an American Literature professor is knowing that the #publishing industry has a major impact on preserving the reflections of each social era in history. It is also 1 of the cons. Why? Diverse voices have to work harder for representation and therefore underrepresented.

#MoreThanChristmas isn't your typical holiday romance. Santa's son must navigate the fragile ice of a family's grief if he wishes to restore the faith to a boy, win the love of his soulmate, and earn his title as Santa.

This is what happens to trans women placed in men's prisons. They are subjected to daily horrific rapes and used as human chattel to pacify aggressive and violent inmates. It's called v coding.

As a bisexual, audhd author who still dreams of trad publishing queer audhd books, I wonder what impact these changes will have on publishing. Will #litagents still want our works? Will #publishers? Will the inevitable increase in book bans result in a reduction to the already minimal interest?

A 17 year old opened fire in a Nashville high school today. Hours before police shared his name, fringe extremist communities correctly identified him as one of their own. He left behind a manifesto expressing unadulterated neo-Nazi ideology that endorsed violent “accelerationst” tactics.

So we are all what we were at conception? This means all men are now women? This means I'm no longer bisexual, and I am officially a lesbian. #gender #sexuality #bisexual #lesbian
