The fact that happened at an AWARDS CEREMONY no less is enraging.
An apology isnβt enough, thatβs the bare minimum. And yβall couldnβt even do that much.
Is this grace ever given to Black disabled people? No, instead theyβre killed for it. Elijah McClain. Emmett Till. Sonya Massey. Jordan Neely.

If your vocal tics are harmful, even if itβs a vocal tic you cannot control, you still need to fuckin apologize. Black people should not be expected to get over hearing racial slurs thrown at them, that is fuckin crazy. Iβm SO disgusted with how things were handled at the BAFTA awards

#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 βyou just donβt wanna date.β Thatβs ignorant af. Aromantics are valid (1/2)

Writing large casts can be daunting but I love love LOVE that I can amplify the representation as a result. Iβve 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 βRomance coming at me in the form of booksβ 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 βRomance coming at me in real lifeβ showing a scared kid in tears while holding a cross in one hand and his free hand up, trying to get whateverβs approaching him to back up

Yβall, 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

It was also written with social commentary (relevant esp nowβ¦) & 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 tryπ₯Ήπ€ (2/2) #bvm #author

Iβve been so focused on tradpub, I havenβt 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 hadnβt realized I could write MCs who look like me yet. Still, it was written with a lotta love (1/2)
