If you are a new indie author, this is for you…

Be accepting of failing publicly when it comes to self publishing. Whether that be your first book or your fifth book, be open to the concept that it might take a minute for you to find your stride. Allow your love for storytelling to shine. #booksky

I know literary magazines need money to keep the lights on, but I feel like submission fees for contests & general reading by an editor are a barrier to poor/low income marginalized writers like myself. It's frustrating to be excited to submit only to find I need to pay to get eyes on my work.

I'm including some additional info in case anyone is curious about what's currently going on with Kadrey et al v. Meta Platforms. You can find this information on PACER, which stands for Public Access to Court Electronic Records. I pulled the docket report so you can see what's current

I think I followed everyone on my page back.
I hope y'all have a good day. Please bundle up.

I have been wondering why US leftists and liberals alike are so terrible at long term strategy lately. Then I remembered that we’re in this predicament because neither camp listens to Black people or respects our history in this country beyond lip service.

Abolition & civil rights took *centuries.*

Ah! So adorable 🥰 Congrats on your huge milestone. I hope there will be many more to come.

Finished my first painting of 2025, a really huge milestone for me! This is ManBurning's "dog" Kaslo, in his favorite ball pit -- I love a chance to paint bright colors! A combo of realism and cartoon nailed the vibe. Painted in Rebelle 7. #art #painting #cat

It means a lot if you throw me a ❤️!
