I just hit 21k words in my deconstructionist dark romance and…it’s been one of the best things about this month that hasn’t been so kind to me.

Listen. I know I’m trash. 🤣🤣🤣 #booktropes #bookcommunity #darkromance

This makes me feel physically ill.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

D'Angelo never wanted to be a sex symbol. He was so much more than that. So much more than even the music. #D'Angelo

While wearing a ribbon skirt yesterday, I ran into a yt woman and her 2 teens who held the door for me. Mom’s face was amazing. She gasped and then her teens stopped: “Oh my gawd! Your outfit is so beautiful!” They all three squealed and I couldn’t help but giggle. I f*ing love being Native.

Just in case you wanna see how YT “resistance fighters” really view Black and Indigenous people: She has over 90k followers on Threads and THIS is what she’s using that platform for.

5/5⭐️ Another cozy read that gave me all the feel good vibes. This is a dad/daughter duo helping people relive memories through nostalgic dishes. They take tiny memories and recreate these dishes for an array of customers. Lemme know if you’ve read this one! #decolonizeyourbookshelf #books #read

5/5⭐️ Oh my gosh. I’ve never had a graphic novel get me choked up. Love love love this story. The illustrations are so good and gave me Summer Camp Island vibes which is my fav. Fantastic for upper elementary and up. TW: parental ☠️ #books #kids #graphicnovels #reading

I dare one of my mutuals to say those Natives knew how to get Remmick cause they were werewolves. #Sinners

There’s still time left to grab free shipping! PaperbacksandFrybread.com

HAPPY INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY!! How are you celebrating?! What are you going to get today?

We’ve gone from issues in classrooms to school libraries then issues w/ public libraries & now focused on controlling what bookstores sell. If I don’t like something, I just don’t buy it-it’s that simple! www.chron.com/politics/art...

Happy Independent Bookstore Day!! Thank y’all for being here the past 4 years and supporting this little dream of mine. PaperbacksandFrybread.com

Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

Brand new design for Independent Bookstore Day!!! Don’t be mad at authors for promoting the Zon or BN sales. That’s their livelihood. But if you can support indies like mine: please do! I shared on IG how to support my store specifically🧡 #books #reading #Indigenous #indiebookstore

Honestly, me too.

Perfect shirt for Easter🧡 paperbacksandfrybread.com/products/jes...

There are people in other parts of the world who are going to bed not afraid of tomorrow. My soul envies that more than anything I could ever ask for.

Instead of church on Sundays, I now clean my ancestral altar. Honestly, it feels more holy than any church service I’ve attended. My altar is a place I can unload my burdens and not feel shame. I’m reminded of my strength not of my “sins”. It’s has been a place of immense healing.

Interesting...

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Can we normalize NOT posting news headlines without posting the source in the comments? I’m seeing too many accounts trying to grow with sensationalism while calling themselves “journalists” or “political commentary”. Comment to your journal. You are NOT helping educate people.

“The Master of Life has appointed this place for us to light our fires, and here we shall remain.” -Tecumseh This will be my answer when people ask why I am not running away. #Indigenous #Decolonize

My kids have officially labeled Thomas Jefferson as “cringe”. I don’t disagree.

My husband and I have been taking this “Hanged Man” moment in our lives to be more intentional with movement; investing in our health. My NSVs for today: I walked 2.5 miles around town and didn’t get winded. I’m up to 257lbs on leg press. F*ck yeah.

YES! 🙌 Do it! We all know that’s exactly what they did!

New books are being added to the shop today!! I’ll be sending a newsletter later on today highlighting them so make sure you’re on the list! Head over to PaperbacksandFrybread.com to sign up!

I’m writing. 300 words down. Character sheets began. Start of an outline. Pinterest boards overflowing. And I have my title. It’s beautiful chaos. I’m starting my cozy fantasy rom-com completely over. I’m still feeling a bit lost, but maybe this will help me find myself. #amwriting

Congrats to @timnitgebru.bsky.social and @dairinstitute.bsky.social “Gebru’s contributions to her field landed her among @afro-tech.bsky.social’s 2025 Legacy Leaders in the Future Maker category.”

Them: “Why won’t y’all just protest?” “You need to start a war!” “Everyone needs to be in the streets!” Me: This is not Les Mis.

And Johnson just threw a hissy fit and cancelled the rest of the legislative week

I need a #GRWM video from #CoryBooker on what the prep was like for this historic moment. He was prepared in a way that is truly inspiring.

I have no patience for this temporizing. People are being summarily shipped off into slavery in central america under the imprimatur of the US government right now. Canada—Canada!—is putting itself on a war footing. We’ve been off the map and in uncharted territory for the last 250 miles.

#tdih 1942, more than 1,300 Norwegian teachers were arrested by German Nazi-installed gov't after 12,000 of 14,000 nationwide had refused to join new Nazi-oriented teachers’ association & resisted Nazification of the curriculum. Teaching is not neutral. #Resist www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/no...

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Well. I didn’t get the job. Didn’t even make it to the interview. I wish I could say I’m okay. But… I don’t have a plan B. This was a Hail Mary and it flopped. I’m not sure what to do.

I just learned about “praying towns”, but I am realizing they were never disappeared. Now we simply call them churches. A place where they desire to strip you of your identity and force you to be like them in exchange for the promise of community, security, and eternal life. #indigenous

I’m adding lots of poetry books and tarot/oracle decks to the shop today! Random combo, but it’s the vibe today. PaperbacksandFrybread.com

For the unfamiliar, car bloat refers to the ongoing expansion of the average American automobile. In 1977, 23% of new cars in the US were SUVs or pickups; today it’s over 80%. Meanwhile, models keep adding pounds & inches. Detroit likes this trend b/c SUVs and pickups are more profitable.

Republicans’ SAVE act would not even accept marriage certificates for name changes. You’d have to have a passport and good luck getting the State Department’s depleted workforce issuing you one

Today!
