When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Did a high school visit recently and met a student who was still deeply offended by a previous visiting writer who used the term "skibidi toilet"

Whenever I see generalized advice a la “don’t query a (genre) novel over (reasonable word count)” I want to scream. Before taking random social media tips, please. Look at your bookshelf. Your local bookstore. It’ll help inform your work and understand the market better than whoever BookExprt37 is.

The problem with this article is that the media hasn't been very empathetic here. This isn't a case of "white man kills family" and the photo is him jet skiing. The media has actually been trying pretty hard to shame everyone who is being empathetic to him. The empathy is coming from social media.

anyone else just constantly quietly dismayed at how much literacy is down the drain? like some people don't know how to read a damn thing and they only praise terrible writing, it's crazy 😭

I have an article in The Guardian today about motherhood, mental illness and ambivalence www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

"I really needed a book like this, a story about mental illness and Blackness and friendship and relationships that didn’t necessarily fit the dominant narratives..." Jennifer Stewart interviews Sarah LaBrie about No One Gets To Fall Apart (Harper). ➡️ https://buff.ly/3Dhe1px

Want to read this but it seems so scary

Currently reading After World by Debbie Urbanski. It’s really, really good.

I have an interview in @thecreativeindependent.com today! thecreativeindependent.com/people/write...

Counterpoint: Do

Every time you go on Amazon or Goodreads to leave a review for Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ibram X. Kendi, or Alexander Chee, leave one for a first-time Black woman author, too. We need support so much more than well-established millionaire male authors.

Currently reading

this is bullying

Feeling unmotivated and I think my problem is that I’m not currently jealous of anyone

Currently reading (and loving)

Just finished

Sometimes I worry that because I am Hot and Successful people assume nothing bad has ever happened to me when in fact the bad things that happened are WHY I am Hot and Successful

You have to read this book by my inimitable friend Sarah LaBrie. I got to read an early version and just read the published book and was blown away anew. Such a strong voice, and a dry, dark sense of humor. Extra credit for the length: 224 brisk pages. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/19/b...
