I am open to this next season. Goodness. Sweetness. Ease. Abundance. It’s mine.

The way this retrograde is keeping my mouth shut should be studied. Every fiber in my being wants to crash out.

Darling Nikki (she’d chuckle). I am grieving Yet glad the aching Of your body Has ceased A candle Of hearts Burns for you At my altar I will call on you After while. Perhaps I’ll etch “Thug Life” Into my forearm An homage’s Homage. “Woke up The next morning, Nikki wasn’t there”

It’s morning. We made it. #GiveThanks

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who is determined to turn up the volume and EXPOSE all of the brutal, deadly consequences of abortion bans in America. They're not "pro-life." They're pro controlling women's bodies.

My heart breaks for the homeless.

I finished my first semester as a doctoral student.

Hearing people. I want yall to know that when deaf and aphonic people call you using relay service the transcriber usually transcribes EVERYTHING YOU SAY. So when you’re talking shit about how a deaf or hoh or aphonic person is inconveniencing your pathetic life it’s all transcribed via text

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Half of my assignments this semester I typed on my phone with a teething baby latched and nursing. 😵‍💫

I swear I could be scrolling on my phone for hours. Soon as I sit up to work on the computer here come lil Lazarus rising up to crawl in my lap.

I’m so excited to start using it!

The reason y’all are crashing out over this person is because you’ve made them your whole identity. When they face negativity, you feel attacked and rush to defend them, but it’s really yourself you’re defending. But here’s the truth: you are not them. Their wins, losses, and drama are not yours.

Perfectionism induced procrastination + disability + parenting = feeling like a failure when all I needed was to ask for accommodations & consistent support from the beginning.

I really don’t want an incomplete for this semester. I’m doing my best to push through. I got 48hrs to get so much done. With a one year old that demands so much of my attention, capacity and spoons.

J1 the Deer. I’ll never forget.

You deserve to be around people who choose you over secrets, shame & abuse. That won’t always happen. So it’s important to always choose yourself. It’ll be lonely, and isolating. But you won’t have to shrink yourself to eat a plate of food.

It is still very much the hood.

Curtis, I’m your woman!!

This has me laughing way too hard

YZV’s first word was “cat” at like 7 months. There’s been plenty of ASL she knows & understands like: please, yes, potty, hungry, eat, all done & more, milk, stop. But today… at 13 months, my baby said Umi for the first time. She’s known how to sign it. But to hear her say it?! I’m in shambles. 🥹🥲

This is me with dressing. No thank you.

Saying audiobooks isn’t reading id the equivalent to saying braille isn’t reading. It’s ridiculous right?

i wish non-artists would connect their frustration about how "nothing looks cool anymore" with the fact that artists are given less freedom and opportunities in industrial design and user interfaces. we still have creative people and beautiful things, that never went away

audiobooks count as reading. audiobooks count as reading. audiobooks count as reading. audiobooks count as reading. audiobooks count as reading. audiobooks count as reading. audiobooks count as reading. audiobooks count as reading. audiobooks count as reading. audiobooks count as reading.

I listen to audiobooks as I read along because it increases my comprehension & I have to re-read much less.

This is a bisexual affirming space.

promoting yourself as an artist is so frustrating because you’ll feel like you’re shoving your stuff down everyone’s throats and then there’s someone like “wait u have a comic???”

Very bald. Very postpartum shedding took my edges. Very missing my brushwaves. Very my kid plays my head like a djembe.

I second this

My besties cats are hilarious. Draco is the one staring into your soul.

From “teach me how to dougie” to “cause I love you” by Lenny Williams

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed. (Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

YZV woke up at 5:30a after almost waking up every hour since about 1a. My sister just came & took her into her room. I underestimated how badly I needed that.

This report is so good!! I’m also so lowkey geeked to see my dissertation cited in here for the family policing section. Anyways take a look at this report and follow @techtonicjustice.bsky.social. Incredible work.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

Very much this.

Even through my unemployment I know I’m privileged. I still have my house, my car, my daughter, lights are on, food in the fridge, etc. I may be struggling temporarily but we’re still ok. Still need a job tho but we’re ok

People often apologize when they mention audiobooks to me, I guess because I’m a writer and they assume I think it’s some kind of betrayal. Look. People were googling “what’s a tariff?” the day AFTER the election. I’m grateful y’all are reading, however you’re reading. Also, I love audiobooks.

It’s barely 6a… I’m walking around my sister’s apartment in a house coat, resisting the urge to wake up my nibilings with gospel music & make them wash baseboards.

It’s morning. We made it. #GiveThanks

One thing a black mama gone do is to love bomb you with household items to apologize. I’m bout to get some toilet paper.
