I always love these red carpet threads, even when my books aren't in them. So this is lovely 🤩

Proof of life selfie 🤣 It's a lot going on over here but I ain't forgot y'all ☺️

With every fiber of my being, I hope for the day when white people will just tend to their own business, and free themselves from the exhausting, repetitive cycle of trying to conquer and control everything and everyone. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Age verification? I put a quarter in a pay phone to make a call.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Serving 90s pop culture realness 😎

Where my gamer girls at? Here are my predictions for the voices at the end of the Resident Evil Requiem trailer, in order: Leon, Ada, Carlos, Annette, and Sherry. Now we wait for the next info drop to see if I'm right ☺️

one thing the AI uptick has shown is that people resent creatives so much for what they perceive to be "not real work." and that means creating a narrative that people are overpaid for things they don't perceive as important/valuable, but still form entire consumer identities around.

Said, Baby boy, you only funky as yo last cut

Essentially this is an argument over who will top. Y'all know what I'm talking about, too.

once again I must tap my own sign

I had a single, hours long lecture from my parents at age 9. This was during a childhood full of Baptist posturing that lionized female virginity, vilified anything remotely sexual outside hetero marriage, and cast gays /fornicators into the "Lake of Fire™️" *SN: came out at 36.

I did it y'all 🎓😎 #academicsky #blacksky #Classof2025

What ARE YOU DOING ON MAY 17TH? Come meet us for reads and drinks. @synithiaw.bsky.social @kiannawrites.bsky.social #RuralSCreads #Booksky #Romancelandia #BlackSky

I may be biased on account of the *book of faces* stealing from me by using my books for their AI B.S. but has anyone else noticed how that man looks like a perpetually confused turnip in a curly wig?

Cancer and it ain't even close. I rebuke such foolishness ever crossing my path again.

Sometimes I think about how I wasted the best years of my knees being "good," following the rules and locking myself away, all to please a bunch of salty religious elders who'd already had their fun "sinning" before they declared themselves judge and jury over me.🙄🙄🙄

Texted my "cool, younger" uncle my graduation details. He insists I call him (not by replying to me, by calling my mom, his sister). I called today. What began as a semi pleasant convo ends with his thinly veiled homophobia disguised as Xtian love.

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid

If this was my kid or even a kid I knew in passing It would've been UP and STUCK for this geriatric saltbox I promise you👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

Post a ship that's not star wars or star trek

Knowledge is power…

Very much excited to spend this weekend with the woman whose love has brought so much light and joy to my life...and to show her off to my readers and friends🥳😊🥰

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! Come celebrate romance with me at @kiannawrites.bsky.social tomorrow, Feb 15, as we talk romance and sign some books at Barnes and Noble! 🥰❤️

Unpopular opinion loading... Saw a commercial for some kinda ED cream. There's already pills and whatnot for that. Please, can we focus on some dreaded diseases and ease up on making dick drugs? Just for a lil while?

One year ago today, I went on a 1st date, w/ NO expectations. I was ending a period of post-breakup healing and self assessment, and "guarded" is a gross understatement of my approach. Today, we celebrate a year of the healthiest, most uplifting love I've ever experienced. This love is so joyous.💕

Damn I really love being black

What were the first two albums you remember buying as a kid? I was 14 and had a new boom box with the cd/tape deck/radio setup...what a time it was

Try not to let panic consume you. Do what you can, where you are, with what you have...which is usually more than you might think.

At the center of the universe is a loving heart that beats and wants the best for every person. Anything we can do to help foster the intellect, spirit, and emotional growth of our fellow human beings is our job. Those of us who have this vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.

Columbia SC and surrounding areas, come see me and my girl @synithiaw.bsky.social on Valentine's day weekend 💕 Saturday, February 15th it's going DOWN 💞

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

I know y'all not back on TikTok thinking shit sweet. Y'all don't see how it's now light skinned Harriet Winslow???

Some of yall ain't seen the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life" and it shows. The 🍊 man is Andy and these folk kissing his ass tryna avoid getting sent to the cornfield. Fuck all that.

Good grief. Folk really on here talking like only 17 year olds ever used Tiktok, and Bluesky is geriatrics and elders talking about the days of yore😒 I'm 42, I used TT& many different apps. Talkin shit about folk who use something you don't doesn't make you clever. Don't be an asshole SHEESH

All right y'all. It's that time...a new release is coming soon. Wanna know what's tea? Hit up my newsletter on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/kiannawr...

So the Supreme Court upheld the TikTok ban. Before stopping your kids from being shot in school, before stopping corporations from price gauging so you can afford to survive, before giving everyone equal access to healthcare, taking YOUR free speech was their priority. 🤦🏽‍♀️

It’s very interesting watching people try to explain how bad it is for the Chinese government to have your information without referencing other places that have your information and the bad things those places are doing without being stopped or even gently chided.

Romance IS real literature. In every way. Like the way you can hold it in your hand, or the very real checks deposited into my account from it. So don't bring hateration nor holeration to the #romancelandia dancery. No one's forcing you to read it, no need to bash it.

Always stand on business, y'all. Especially when someone approaches you for your expertise, skills, and the unique energy you bring. You know who you are and what you're doing, never let them forget that.

Hey there! I'm seeing a lot of new folks following. Welcome to the party y'all 🥳 Here's how I get down: #romancelandia tea/ rants on publishing and writing Telling y'all about my books Academic sh*t (I'm a student training to be a professor) #blacksky commentary Shenanigans &tomfoolery Gay sh*t
