“Elaine Ho’s Cry, Voidbringer is a sweeping, powerful story that achieves what fantasy does best: explore timely themes against a speculative backdrop. Elaine Ho’s rich and vivid storytelling ensnares you from the very first page and challenges you to reflect on humanity, oppression, and corruption.” - N.E. Davenport, Author of The Blood Trials and Our Vicious Oaths

If you’re only reading about Black suffering this month and not Black joy as well, you’re not celebrating Blackness

I’ll be damned if you follow in Oklahoma’s footsteps and take away one of the few things I can enjoy these days (my books)

I’ll keep fighting, but I’m not playing with you right now 👀

Texas
✨You’ve taken away my right to make decisions about MY own body
✨You’ve taken away my 3 daughter’s rights to make decisions about their own bodies even if they’re raped
✨You’re working on destroying public education (I’m a public education teacher)

Why on this green fucking earth does it make sense to tie together laws that PROTECT children with trying to get your way so grown ADULTS can’t watch what they want?

If it’s about protecting children then fucking do that?

Looking at you, Dusty 🙄

How does the next congressional election look?

#elections

I can’t stand trump
That’s all
#potus

I’m tired yall

#texaspolitics

Trying to remain hopeful for the next four years. But remember, we only have two years until we can get more progressives in congress seats! Pay attention to who is looking to run. The country may have chosen trump, but he can’t do a lot without a congress on his side.

Convicted US Capitol rioter Pam Hemphill turns down Trump pardon Former "Maga granny" Pamela Hemphill tells the BBC the Trump government is trying to "rewrite history".

I was struck this morning by this story of Pamela Hemphill, who refused a pardon

"I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative…We were wrong that day, we broke the law"

Integrity!

My Inauguration Poem ✌🏼

#poem

jewish college students protesting israeli genocide should be investigated by the fbi for terrorism links, but the guy who promotes nazis constantly gives a heil salute at the inauguration should get the benefit of the doubt —the jewish civil rights defenders

You’ll never convince me to believe you’re a good person if you don’t support every person having access (without having to pay for it directly) to:
Healthcare
Food
Clothing
Shelter
Internet
Transportation
Hygiene Products
Etc.

How can “president trump” save TikTok while he’s not even president? 🤔

In another life I would’ve been a lawyer - one who worked with death row inmates who shouldn’t be there (which arguably I don’t support the death penalty because too many people have been wrongly executed (murdered)).

Where are my democratic socialists at 🙋🏻‍♀️

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’

It was originally ‘ekename.’

‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”

Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.

Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

✨Along with that, you’re probably not going to a get “don’t read this book” from me because I just love pretty much everything I’ve read. You’re mostly going to see me excited over the books I’ve just finished or books I’m excited to read

✨I will not be critical in my reviews when it comes to how the story is told (ie POVs, flow, etc) because I think there are so many ways to tell a story and plenty of people to accept them as they are

✨I read so many genres. I haven’t delved into a lot of mystery/horror since my Fear Street days 😅 so you might not see that. But I love fantasy, romance, romantasy, sci-fi, and memoirs - also all genres I like in adult and YA books

✨There are times I’ve read books unknowing of any problematic issues with authors - if that’s the case, please let me know. I like to think I read pretty critically (English major and English teacher here), but if something is not always glaringly obvious, I might miss it. I’m human after all.
