Congratulations to my comrade, the brilliant @eveewing.bsky.social for her NYT bestselling new book!

32 years ago this month in the 20th century, Milestone Media LLC made history and changed comics, entertainment, and the world by publishing their first comic book with @dc.com : HARDWARE #1, the one that launched the Dakotaverse of superheroes.

Thank you @fairsq.bsky.social for adding me to your Black History Month comics post. #Blackbooksky #comicbooks

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovers 💋 ravynn.substack.com/p/7-tiny-lov...

I loved reading this so much ❤️🥹

I absolutely adored this teenage love story btwn a soccer star and theater kid set in Paris! The setting was a character too! It was beautifully written and well crafted! It’s always great to read healthy depictions of love. 😍 Read this when you need a break from something heavy. #bvm #blackbooksky

Today in #BlackMagicalHistory, we’re shouting out Tracy Deonn, author of the Legendborn Cycle! We love this series, but we’re watching closely for the pain she’s about to put us through when Oathbound drops. Would you rather walk through your ancestors’ memories or summon them for advice?

Did anyone ask for a story about a writer that doesn’t want to write another romance whilst promoting the film adaptation of her romance novel with the lead actor that won’t stop admiring her during interviews? No? Well I’m writing it anyways 😌

Before she was a super famous author, @ravynnkamia.bsky.social was one of my favorite artists! I have this print on my wall and on my cup!

Writers, what’s one IP/franchise you would LOVE to write for? As we all know, I would lose my mind if I got to write for DC Comics But also Avatar: The Last Airbender and My Little Pony!

Reading to accompany our celebration of Butler today

Big brained meditations on Octavia Butler, the LA fires, AI, grief, memory, all inspired by a photo of him and the late, great Nikki Giovanni, from Hanif Abdurraqib: www.newyorker.com/culture/essa...

I’m very fortunate to still be in communication with former students. They asked for readings recs as offshoots of some of the stuff we read together so I made them a list and put it in a blogpost open.substack.com/pub/ravynn/p...

It’s February! My favorite month! And an excellent month to buy my YA romance, Love Requires Chocolate! Why? It’s Valentine’s Day! It’s Black History Month (lots of Josephine Baker inspo)! It’s my birthday! Here’s some Valentine’s Day gift inspo & a link to the book bookshop.org/p/books/love...

I spent the first 2.5 weeks of the year drafting an essay that is 4,500 words about flight and other impossible things, and it goes from 1619 Virginia to 20th century Ohio, to a distant future Chicago and ties together so many things. Idk what this is or where I’m sending it but I love it lol

Happy pub day to FIRST LOVE LANGUAGE🥳🥳!! I'm honored to add my story to the growing canon of Taiwanese voices! I am forever greatful to the authors who paved the way for me to be here now💖💖

I am probably going to shout about this LEGO set forever! It was such a good, easy build, especially for beginners; only took an hour or so to finish; it’s the PERFECT size to use for a desk decoration; it looks SO GREAT; it’s a 3-in-1 set; and it’s $30 which is the affordable end for LEGO!
