I read this book, The Automatic Writing Experience, and they talked about a sort of trance writing to the spirits but while Im interested in the concept of speaking to my ancestors, this felt very white. So any of my Black diasporic fam have any book recs on communing with the ancestors for me?

The DX of ASD makes it very clear that the full impact of an Autistic Person's Autistic traits may not fully manifest (and therefore qualify the person for a Dx of ASD) until social demands exceed the person's capacity (like ... you know ... puberty, adulthood, etc ...)

Just a reminder Im on Threads way more often than here www.threads.net/@nikkitgrant

Before we begin, some housekeeping: Salute to the community in LA standing on business this weekend to protect their people from state violence and abduction. If you've got it to give, please consider pitching in on a bail fund: www.communityjusticeexchange.org/en/nbfn-dire...

3...2...1... Let's jam.

I want filmmakers to be their own franchises. I don't want SINNERS 2. I want the next Ryan Coogler movie.

I took the plunge and started a Substack. Come join me in The Word Garden nikkitgrant.substack.com?r=5qqt57&utm...

AND we are holding an open call! If you are an unagented, unpublished BIPOC writer, you can submit your short story for a chance to join us in this anthology. Visit TheseKindredHearts.com

Been keeping my lips shut about this one for a while. Super excited to be a part of THESE KINDRED HEARTS with some really really talented folks. I’m writing the “I will burn it all down for you” supernatural boyfriend this Buffy teen always wanted 😂

I've been sitting on this for a while. I'm so excited to bring you guys my little magical sapphic love story between two Black girls with the backdrop of New Orleans. Thanks so much to @shariwrites.bsky.social and @tjohler.bsky.social for this opportunity.

The trope of a woman being made to marry a powerful man and hating him, but happily using her new found power is *chef kiss*

Sinners (2025)

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie 24 Angry Men

Once I get this short story out the door, my focus will officially be on my horror for the summer. I'm billing #ProjectLakeLanier as an Adult Southern Gothic Horror with the social/racial horror of SINNERS for fans of Vincent Tirado and Johnny Compton. Hopefully I can get it done in time for DVPit

Hey! Guess what? Tomorrow

I need book recs! Does anyone know any good books told in multiple timelines? Even better if they are horror and/or supernatural 💙📚

wishbone

regular reminder that we can trace features of autism through folklore back to like, the prehistoric era. the fuck do you think ‘changelings’ were

Hey I'm back. Accidentally got sucked into a Threads spiral for a while, especially since they are talking about Sinners over there lol

Stay tuned... #DVPit #writersky #booksky

I can't believe I just did the thing I just did

I am an Oxford Comma fangirl, but this is hilarious and so correct lmao youtube.com/shorts/ky0YO...

Megan 2.0 is going to be stupid. OMG I can't wait to see it

LMAO I guess me calling out the hypocrisy of white liberals and saying they should've voted for Kamala or we wouldn't be in this mess got somebody in they feelings. I'm willing to bet I've done more out on the streets fighting than people like this that so all their activism behind a keyboard

Where was all this energy when it was time to vote tho?

I am really in the mood to read something with House of the Dragon tv show vibes. Epic fantasy with just as epic political vibes with scandal and sexy times. Anyone have any book recs? BIPOC and/or women authors for bonus points. I don't care if it's trad or indie 💙📚

I didn’t see not one april fools joke today chile everybody rlly said ain’t shit funny this year i-

Also? Really classy and thoughtful to thank the pages, door openers, and other staff.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Hell I feel like I need a glass of wine on Cory's behalf

HELL YEAH
