i see so many people needing GFM to live or bury loved ones. this is fucked up. passing around the same $20 to get by. we should be thriving with our art, but this society shits on us instead. so frustrating. this is probably why I don't win a lotto, cuz errybody would be aight.

A few more weeks before my first MG novel drops! Minecraft: House of Horrors is the story of siblings coming together to get out of some death traps and discover a few secrets in the process. Quips, puzzles, lost pants, and a cat named Tuna! We got it all here. bookshop.org/p/books/mine...

you don't have to read the classics, especially as people of colour. the "offensive words" mess with our psyche and there's no need to subject yourself to that shit. plus there are contemporary authors doing it better anyway.

In 1881 black washerwomen/laundresses went on strike in Atlanta GA for fair pay. This is not even a generation after the end of the Civil War & just a few years after the end of Reconstruction & thus in the teeth of hostile "Redemption"* www.newamerica.org/better-life-...

can't lie, when I would walk through the City (with Beck G's Shower blasting in my headphones), the more annoyed I was, the faster I walked. I would *dare* cabbies to hit me. I was...not fun, lmao

don't ever say you didn't learn shit from Cheetolini. I'm applying to the NEA, Penguin, and sending out stories to places waaaaay above my pay grade by utilizing my white-girl-secretary name for everything. changed my Facebook profile pic, too, just in case.

It's Book Quote Wednesday! This week's word is "night", and here's a snippet from Wooing the Witch Queen, in which Saskia has been adopted into the Queens of Villainy club...but isn't sure she's happy about that. ;) stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen #bookqw #romancelandia

I am suddenly overwhelmed. I no longer have an agent due to her quitting. I haven't written in weeks. I no longer qualify for EBT. my new job hasn't had any hours for me yet. this morning I didn't realize it's a bank holiday and lost my shit bc I couldn't get the check for the A/C replacement.
