Never forget that Terror Squad made an entire banger using Roberta Flack's version of If Only For One Night. Rest in Peace to a soulful Queen. 💫

The definition of, if you want something done find a busy person... he's been busy adding to the community.

Being in community is a lifestyle. I love seeing an entire career made from that organic support.

A book about teens teening is NOT an Issue book. The label presumes it's a heavy or traumatic read. Teens live in the same garbage fire as adults. YA is about them getting through the day, the week. In Balancing Act my characters go through shit yet there's hope and joy. It's called life.

Beyonce fans, you know what to do. We're boosting everything Cowboy, right?

That little cutie on the cover of Lily's Dream says it all 😍

Not Ayesha snitching on Blaise to Gordon about their alliance. Ok, girl, Harriet would have to leave your butt behind. #NextLevelChef

I am loving the synergy of this year's spotlights. @allenwriteswell.bsky.social Dante Plays His Blues was illustrated by fellow spotlight Shemar Knight-Justice. We are really out here winning!

Nothing has my heart like a fellow MG author. We're just built different.

MapQuest is the Wendy's of Bluesky. This is what I'm here for!

While I'm a total pantser (plot scares me) I also am a very linear writer. Not sure how these two things are simultaneously true 🤷🏾‍♀️ #kidlitchat

Am wondering if folks understand that an @justinaireland.com post in the wild is a rare treat. I yearn for the early days when we were out there footloose and fancy free in these social media streets. *sighs in mid 2000s*
