Was there ever any follow up on Curling Baby? I feel not enough.

I realized today that it had been over a year since I last backed up my WIP, so paying it forward as your periodic reminder from the universe to save your project.

I know this dip recipe didn’t just tell me to grate a zucchini — how about I chop it into small pieces and we call it a day.

Somehow my baby has made it halfway round the sun already 💖

It’s cliché to call it the hardest, most beautiful endeavor I’ve ever chosen, but what about parenting isn’t a cliché? Constantly stunned, honored, and in love with being his mother.

(And let’s be real, also heinously exhausted lol.)

Every four years I try to remember the difference between pair skating and ice dancing, and I always end up having to look it up.

A key point of why misogynoir kicks in so hard for media examples where a Black woman is portrayed as beautiful & desirable is because any situation in which folks are depicted as to be cherished, not just consumed/used, indicates a level of humanity assigned to them.

Antiblackness abhors that.

Synchronicity 🙌🏾 Thanks for the reshare

The little guy has been sooo sweet lately hanging out/napping with me in bed while I finish getting through the flu.

This has been a cuddle the loved ones extra tight kind of day for me.

I love it when you’re on the second or third or fourth book by an author and you can just tell how much more fully she’s stepped into her writing self since the debut. It’s honestly one of my favorite experiences as a reader.

If you don’t want to be part of the conversations you’ve been invited to, that’s fine, do you, but why are you pretending?
