Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

I never posted my favorite pieces here and thought I would start tonight. Forest hearts I created for my brother's wedding two years ago. This is a series I obsessively return to every few years. #ink #art #illustration

I was rummaging through my desk when I found this one. It was a fun project, even though one eye is slightly off. I should make more. I have been in such a drawing rut lately.

PSA 😍 This has been a fun one to kill time reading. Although, I admit I'm terrible at posting—95% lurker.

Read and please note what I say about Dr Bookworm…and thinking hard about what and who you are in publishing and writing. So much you cannot control, but a carefully planned and built up portfolio - bringing others with me, empowering others - ie something I won’t be dissuaded from.

To share: many 2023 entrants wrote long accompanying emails about their lives, full of challenge and sadness. That’s just one way for us to grasp the importance of #Curae. Being seen & heard. Also, creativity is central to well-being and a way of incrementally creating space for ourselves -

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially. Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

My response to a certain CEO being a "human being with a family." His family won't be driven into poverty because they just lost their primary bread winner to a treatable disease because an AI denied their claim. Thousands of nameless Americans will be. I'll reserve my empathy for them.

I now know of 6 universities where The Alchemy y is used: a lovely moment for me & for @renardpress.bsky.social This is a book about writing a book. For anyone, but especially if you think you cannot. I am mindful of those - which include me - who are coping with major challenges alongside writing.

I visit my library often, but the digital resources have been a godsend for my busy life. Even living in a blue state, given the political winds in my country, I fear for libraries and schools.

I just noticed I painted this wreath on the wrong side. 🙄 It feels like a metaphor for my attempts at becoming an author. 😆 Now I need to come up with something clever to write inside. #amwriting #writingcommunity #art #crafts

Now is not the time to abandon our creative projects about ideas and people that make the world richer and more truthful and more reflective of our communities. They want us to do that, that is their goal. We will not do it.

Proof remote work can be effective. Also I'm of the mind that the push to return to the office is more about the 1%'s real estate portfolios than worker efficiency.
