disgusting...that is what the us is, not great, not a superpower, not free...DISGUSTING. evil. shameful. perverse. twisted.

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

With the caveat that there are much more important things in need of financial support in our fucked up times, the support page for the Ignytes is back up for the 2026 cycle. ignyteawards.fiyahlitmag.com/support/

If you don't have a local indie bookstore nearby that supports and shouts out black authors, there are so many you can order online from! Sistah SciFi is one of them and I love that they include videos about the books or authors where you can learn more about it #booksky
