I cannot explain how much joy this brings me. I’ve been feeling a bit lost about this series but posts like this re-energize me and remind me that I’m putting something good in the world. Thank you so much for the support 🙏🏾

You know when you get into an anime series and you meet those characters who make up a ship that you fall so hard for that you start writing fanfic after 5 million years? Anyway I’m in Jabber and Zanka (Gachiakuta) hell, Janka consumes my everything: archiveofourown.org/works/73988316

I’ve been awful at updating here but we’re at Twin Cities Con this weekend so you should definitely swing by to look at our books and my outfit 🙏🏾

No rest for this Black, queer writer. Gonna be at ConFluence this weekend with all of my books! Hope to see you there if you’re in the Twin Cities!

Awwwww I love you so much thank you for going on so many adventures with me!

We’re author guests at Anime Fargo this weekend and they gave us big corner space for all our books 🥹🥹🥹

Six years ago I married my seamstress, anime dealer, cosplay enabler, fellow fandom shipping trash, and “woman who listens to me scream about Metaphor ReFantazio.” I love you lots @snowtigra.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️

Why yes I did spend the entire weekend playing Silksong and suspect I’m about .00001 percent into the game 🥰🥰🥰

Big shout-out to the Crunchyroll News team who has not one, but TWO features up for an Eddie Award! Constantly in awe of what our team does, and so happy to be working with such amazing creatives who continue to come up with such fun ideas. Editing their work is truly a career highlight.

Okay, it looks like I'm going to NYCC for work, so please let me know of any cool events/panels/ect. I should check out while there! It'll be my first time at NYCC, so if you've got a cool thing going on, let me know (particularly indie creators inspired by anime).

I am so, SO incredibly proud of you right now.

The premiere is live and it is so much fun! Perfect for workplace comedy fans, comic nerds, yuri lovers, and just anyone looking for a good laugh this weekend.

Thank you for sharing this. I may be coming from a writing perspective but this is so, so true. Whether its working on a draft or waiting to hear back about a project, the frustration can hit REAL hard sometimes, so this post really means a lot.

I got into Hollow Knight pretty late (all the DLC was already out) but I'm fully here for Silksong and OMG SEPTEMBER 4TH CANNOT COME FAST ENOUGH!!!!!

Books have arrived to fulfill the preorders we got at Gen Con. Literally a tower of magical girl books to send off to people. Really appreciate the support for my self published series! Keep up the good vibes for its current graphic novel pitch 🙏🏾

Reintroducing the characters from my magical girl series, magnifiqueNOIR! I’ve been working on it since 2016 and currently have 2 self published illustrated novels. Right now I’m pitching it as a graphic novel with artist @pianta.bsky.social This is just a teaser, more character info soon!

Yesterday this kid came up to the booth with rainbow colors in her braids and I was like, “Oh that’s cool!” She’d bought our books last year. She said, “Thanks. I have a surprise for you tomorrow.” She came by the booth today to reveal what the surprise was: RADICAL RAINBOW COSPLAY 🥹🥹🥹

Gen Con look number 2!

Also was called a goddess today so yeah first day Gen Con outfit was a success. See everyone tomorrow 😌

Okay yes hi if you are at Gen Con, we will be taking preorders of magnifiqueNOIR Book 1 and offering a free print with it since we are officially SOLD OUT on the first day 😭😭😭 (We’re also running low on Book 2!!!)

Now with video 🥰🥰🥰 come see us this weekend to get all of your queer book needs!

It’s that time of year! Come check us out at Gen Con for all your LGBTQIA middle grade and young adult book needs in Author Avenue Table F 🌈📚

That big interview I alluded to that I did at Anime Expo? It’s live now. I got to interview some of the Toilet-bound Hanako-kun staff, which includes the legendary MEGUMI OGATA! I have no idea how I kept it together but I managed somehow! Interview is here: www.crunchyroll.com/news/intervi...

Thinking about this comment I got on one of my fics and smiling a whole lot. Yes, dear fanfic reader, I did, in fact, go into a writing profession :)

I don’t make posts like this too often, but I have a very important meeting today, so please send all the good vibes you can muster up for me, thank you 🙏🏾

Had a bad storm last night but our stuff is fine for the last day of Twin Cities Pride! Bless whatever gay entity was watching out for us 🙏🏾

Day 1 of Twin Cities Pride requires a rainbow outfit sorry I don’t make the rules 🌈

Tomorrow is the day! We’ll be at Twin Cities Pride again in the Queer Writes Booth! I’ll have my new book release there along with all of your Black, queer needs for the weekend 🥰

HAPPY BOOK RELEASE DAY 🎉🎉🎉 Here’s where you can find my Black, queer, regularly superpowered middle grade series. 1. Major retailers like Barnes & Noble 2. Indie stores like Red Balloon Bookshop 3. Twin Cities Pride 4. My Etsy shop Also an audiobook version will be available next month!

Today’s mood. This week’s mood. This month’s mood. This everything’s mood.

Today’s look for the Black Pride event I went to was pretty well received 🥰

She a writer or whatever 🥰

I truly hope that you are blessed with having someone with the emotional maturity and love that Ritsuka Uenoyama possesses. If you don't have someone like that in your circle, I hope they come to you someday. (Can you tell I saw the given movie double feature last night?)

I’m a day behind but good morning #LGBTQWriteAThon my goals are: 🌈 Get more pages done for new pitch 🌈 Early book launch for FANTASY PIN WORLD 2 @ Red Balloon Bookshop (TODAY) 🌈 Black Pride event @ Black Garnet Books (SATURDAY) 🌈 Iron out my Anime Expo schedule 🌈 Write more WIND BREAKER content

You know what? Let's do it. The Big Boy Social Club cropped jerseys Kickstarter is LIVE! The funding goal is $2,500 to produce these jerseys! If we reach $4,000, the pink colorway will also go into production. I can't thank y'all enough for your enthusiasm! www.kickstarter.com/projects/djk...

If you’re trying to grab one of my books this summer here’s all the events I’ll be at! Not included is Anime Expo since that’s a Crunchyroll work trip, but if you’re going let me know so I can say hi!

Happy Father’s Day to the best dad 🥹🥹🥹

Time marches on, and this is the only king I’ll acknowledge.

My feelings range from being proud of the stand we’re taking, angry that we even have to do it in the first place, and tired that we keep having to do it. That said, we WILL keep doing it.

Good afternoon #LGBTQWriteAThon I could honestly write a whole book about the queer manga I love (new pitch idea maybe who knows) but here's a handful. Our Dreams at Dusk: Multi-rep, multi-generational, a big focus on finding your space and becoming comfortable with who you are. My all-time fave!

With Sasaki and Miyano: Graduation now having a dub, I thought I'd reshare why Miyano's mom is one of the best anime moms. "She shows that acceptance can be, and should be, one of the easiest things to respond with when someone you love comes out to you." www.crunchyroll.com/news/feature...

This was such a fun interview to do! Sports anime fans, this one’s for you!

Good afternoon #LGBTQWriteAThon the rep I'd like more of is multiple identities in the same space. I have a group of friends I do yearly vacations with, for example, and between us we have three POC and four different queer identities. I want more friend groups with multiple identities.

Good morning #LGBTQWriteAThon, I know I answered this yesterday, but I wanted to answer it again with a different book of mine. Today is the book birthday of The Essential Manga Guide, and I'm happy to say that out of 50 titles, around 20 of them are queer stories/have queer elements.
