#WritingCommunity, don't beat yourself up if you haven't been writing lately 💗🫂

same i cannot see anything 💀

I just learned that Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. An alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform (and yes it's really easy to transfer your lists from Goodreads to StoryGraph). You know, while we're moving things.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

Auntie cannot remember everybody from that other app. If we had beef over there and you want to keep it that way, that’s fine and I respect it, just give me some time to clean my list up, you do not have to worry about me 😂😂 lmao

Starter pack for Black writers.💅🏾😌

A freshwater mermaid with a long, red tail inspired from koi. She faces a filipino woman wearing traditional "baro't saya." Both of them have warm, brown skin and curly dark hair. The filipino woman seems to have fallen into the mermaid's pond, and the mermaid looks at her with amusement. The pond has broken pillars, ornamental stones, and pink lily pads.

the wonders of writing anything historical-inspired: you can read a whole article/research paper/book about a specific topic just to write about it in one chapter of your manuscript 🥲
