In case I forgot to mention, fuck JK Rowling.

Ok I might need a book husband too. Cause what do you mean y’all got people building you home libraries? Someone come build me some shelves. 😭😭😭

1937. 21yo a-Ling's final task in Shanghai is to save her cousin's magazine from censorship. But when the Kempeitai murders her cousin, a mysterious British financier promises to whisk her away to the London of her dreams, if only she spies on her family and country. #PosterPit #PosterPitW #A #HF

Should white authors write our stories? No, they should write their own better. "Explore your own identity with the same bravery and meticulous care you think we're asking you to use while exploring ours. The good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly."

and here, we have a writer in its natural habitat at 3am. this curious creature survives solely off caffeine, spite, and various vibes. approach carefully, however. asking it "how's your writing coming along?" or "what's it about?" will only spook this sleepy creature into a stammering confusion

"One Way Witch" will be released on April 29. It is the 2nd novella in the SHE WHO KNOWS trilogy. It's about a woman in her 40s who has lost her husband and daughter learning odinani-laced juju, The Mystic Points. REALLY learning, and in the process, facing. This one is heavy. Read an excerpt here:

Join my discord or you’re not cool! We talk about Black and brown books and we gossip a lot. discord.gg/ZsMtpqdFaA

How’s y'all's TBR doing? Cause I'm at the point of making a spreadsheet 🤣🤣🤣

So incredibly excited to announce that I have signed with Alexander Slater @greenburgerlit.bsky.social I knew White Trash Witchcraft was something special, but I never in my wildest dreams anticipated ten offers and the absolute rollercoaster that has been this past month. 🧵

If you want a list of all of the Black and brown publishers and tastemakers at Bindery, I included that list—with links to follow them—at the end of this post on publishing!

I see so many astronomy posts on bluesky! I thought I'd share my interpretation of the Rosette Nebula, painted in acrylic on compressed birch. ❤️✨️ The cosmos inspires so much within us. When the absurdities begin to drain you of meaning and purpose down here... don't forget to look up. Heal. 🌌

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

From my current #wip, codenamed “haunted bookshop” In which a certain someone is trying to perform an exorcism from a kayak Because how can that go wrong 😄 #WIPSnips

Library workers are the backbone of libraries! They are the people staffing the front desk, managing your book requests, helping patrons find what they need, shelving books, and more.

I need help surviving this year. If you're not in a position to donate, I understand. Please help by reposting. Please share with your circles. Every little donation helps. Thank you. gofund.me/19bc02b6

Prose to the People is out today! It traces the history of Black bookstores in America. Did you know that history goes as far back as the 19thc? Did you also know that the FBI targeted Black bookstores in every city that had an FBI office? #booksky #blsckbooksky bookshop.org/p/books/pros...

!! CALL TO ACTION !! #Booksky please join me in the fight to save our libraries. EveryLibrary is working hard to save the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the federal agency charged with distributing Congressionally approved funds to state libraries and grant recipients.

One radical thing you can do right now to protect marginalized people is to figure out how to keep our businesses and our families alive. This crashing economy will effect us all. We WILL have to fight for each other. 🧵
