“Straight-passing” is a concept used to gatekeep, especially aromantics, asexuals, & bisexuals. Stop the BS (2/2) #aromantic #aspecauthors

#AromanticAwarenessWeek is almost over but I wanna give a special shoutout to the aromantics who are just aromantic. Too many ppl think being aro isnt queer enough. You are queer. Being aro should never be reduced to “you just don’t wanna date.” That’s ignorant af. Aromantics are valid (1/2)

How I be sliding into the conversation every time aromantics are mentioned in LGBTQIA+ discussions #aromantic #AromanticAwarenessWeek #aspecauthors

Writing large casts can be daunting but I love love LOVE that I can amplify the representation as a result. I’ve got multiple aspec characters, multiple trans characters, multiple masc girl characters, multiple sapphic couples in this WIP & 98% of the cast is Black. This shit is so much fun #bvm

First part of an aromantic meme labeled “Romance coming at me in the form of books” while showing a photo of a Black woman happily reading while lying on top of her bed with a mug in hand. Second part is labeled “Romance coming at me in real life” showing a scared kid in tears while holding a cross in one hand and his free hand up, trying to get whatever’s approaching him to back up

I’m the type of aro that wants to keep it fictional please & thank you 🙂‍↕️ #aromantic #AromanticAwarenessWeek #aspecauthors

Me as a teenager:
idk man, If I was in a relationship I don’t think I’d care bout anniversaries or going on cute dates & I don’t think I’d care if they cheated on me or if they found somebody else, it ain’t that deep—

Me after figuring out I’m aromantic:
…Hmm

“What radicalized you?”

Realizing people are cyclical & will never change unless they’re forced to change. Hence why there continues to be so much fuckin chaos in the world

Happy Valentine’s Day to all but ESPECIALLY my Black sapphics, aromantics, poly couples, & singles by choice 🙂‍↔️🤎

Meme where the first caption is “How allo couples enjoy Valentine’s Day” with a picture showing couples dancing and the the second caption is “How single aromantics enjoy Valentine’s Day” next to a picture of a woman happily guzzling down chocolate balls while having other forms of chocolate splayed out on the table in front of her

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my lovely aromantics & fellow aspecs! 🥰💚 #aromantic #aro #aspec #aspecauthors #asexual

Anyone who complains bout a Black cosplayer dressing up as their fav non-Black character is just jealous of how good they look & you cannot convince me otherwise. Bc how tf are you, a grown ass person, gettin mad over fuckin dress-up??? Who tf cares if it’s accurate or not, yall are SO embarrassing

Eye drops are so useful, man. I should’ve been using this shit, but my stubborn ass didn’t like putting anything on my eyeballs 😩

Y’all, comphet is a bitch. As queer as I am, it took me WAY too long to realize how sapphic I am. I was always gravitating to mlm romances but never wlw. Now all I pretty much write is wlw romances.

Never underestimate how deeply rooted comphet is. It may take you years to notice #comphet #wlw #bvm

I want a world where Black trans women are safe & loved, Black children all grow up comfortably in their own skin & hair, and Black queer men can be visibly out & proud without judgment

Right. Makes me so angry just thinking about it

My mom grew up on that toxic propaganda shit about Black girls needing to get their hair chemically relaxed & couldn’t help me understand my hair as a result. Got my hair chemically relaxed when I was young & it did SO much damage. So glad I get to embrace my natural hair now (2/2)

Black ppl seeing Black professionals makes a world of a difference. Went out of my way to find a Black female Dermatologist who understood Black hair & she helped me figure stuff out that I’ve been struggling with for most of my life (1/2)

Every time someone says “she has a boyfriend” or “he has a girlfriend” as a way to argue somebody isn’t queer, i end up tweakin cause WHYYYYY are we, in 2026, still forgetting about ppl who are bi, pan, and/or aspec??? IT’S NOT THAT HARD

The painnnn of being a Black author with 10+ Black af books to want to promote but can’t because none of them are published yet #bvm

I got like three Blackity Black WIPs & they all telling me to work on them first. My break from writing is officially over I see 😒 #bvm #author #WIP #BlackHistoryMonth

It was also written with social commentary (relevant esp now…) & although it covers very heavy subject matter, I hope it resonates & you can love the characters as much as I do. So if you want to support a Black queer author, feel free to give this series a try🥹🤎 (2/2) #bvm #author

Photo of all four books in my self-published series. First book is Gold Shadow, second book is Emerald Dream, third book is Agate Memory, final book is Obsidian Fragrance.

I’ve been so focused on tradpub, I haven’t promoted my self-published series in a hot minute. This series was written during my college yrs, when I was still learning how to write diversely & when I hadn’t realized I could write MCs who look like me yet. Still, it was written with a lotta love (1/2)

I love being Black.

I love Black people who also love being Black.

I love Black people.

I love Black people that also love other Black people.

If you’re Black, I love you!

#HappyBlackHistoryMonth 🖤

I need to put on my A-game when February rolls in, I can not be a Black queer author & not be writing my Black queer couples, smuts, & romances every single day. Writer’s block is NOT allowed!

…Starting tomorrow. Today will be my final day of rest before my OCs beat my ass. #bvm #queer #blackauthor
