Who are some Black content creators that *live* in the Los Angeles area that know all about comic books? I'm actually shocked I'm having to ask this maybe I'm not thinking hard enough.

I just had such a good blackened garlic shrimp Ceasar salad. I didn’t use any specific seasonings to get it blackened. I just burned the mess out of it and it had a similar effect 😭 it was so good I’m gonna do it again next time.

ICYMI: My debut novel comes out in six months!

No bc my debut novel and debut memoir drops this year and yall not hype enough. Get tf into books or something. blaqueword.substack.com

I’m beta reading my partner’s novel and every day I’m blown away by his mind. Being able to do this is a form of creative intimacy I really cherish. That being said I really get mad when he does my favorite characters dirty. I’ll be staring at him like this all throughout reading.

I know yall are getting naked for fun rn, carry on but I have something to plug 💜: Black Queer Authors need yalls support. Our stories are being further diminished by publishing and social platforms we use for advertising. #BlackGaySky
