Read the banned books. But also read the ones that could be banned. Ones from trans authors, Palestinian authors, and indigenous authors. Read the ones about black happiness and sapphic history. Read the ones from climate scientists and critical comedians. Read the romances and the horror novels.

i wish you could be mean to people in corporate. i’m tired of the corporate culture

xoxo For what it's worth, I pivoted from my fear of death to fear of immortality in my second novel.

@tananarivedue.bsky.social i just read the between and when i get done crying - im gonna need to chat bc why would u do that 😭

Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

today i was the problem and also the solution to that problem at work. and that’s on black women in corporate amen

episode 1 of svu is actually so iconic

stop posting spoilers or minor spoilers of books that have been out less than 24 hours. i’m sick of y’all #booksky #booktok

white booktokers i have a qq- what has happened that you feel comfort in showing your racism? goes for the authors too! because while i enjoy being able to call you out, i am also exhausted that there’s a scandal literally everyday. thanks! #booksky #booktok

Checkout my good sis @bribwriter.bsky.social on TikTok for context vm.tiktok.com/ZNdeVdtL1/

happy oathbound release day!

my favorite thing on #booktok is that when people say it’s a toxic place, they are usually just being called out for their problematic behavior

the way i was like “yah im gonna try to finish 2 more books before february is up” without realizing tomorrow is the last day of february. bruh

remember when whoopi goldberg said “you are beyoncé” and beyoncé said “thank you” i think about that often

ay y’all ever just hated someone? and his name trump?

why do people who were problematic make like 80 minute long apology videos? i hate it

i think my superpower is that i am almost always the funniest person in any room i enter

Just so we're clear: Fuck #Neilgaiman Fuck #jkrowling Fuck #sarahjmaas Fuck #rebeccayarros Fuck #colleenhoover Fuck #jaykristoff Fuck #orsonscottcard Fuck #tilliecole Fuck #tjklune Fuck #caitcorrain I picked 10, but there's more. If you're wondering why your fav author is on here Google is free.

you ever read a book that makes 0 sense? yeah, that's me right now rereading my first draft. #writersky

i just started chapter 37 of the reformatory and my heart is beating. tananarive due, friend when i catch bc why would you write this? i’ve been sobbing in bed for 30 minutes 😭🥲 #booksky

i am in my don toliver era so be prepared to be sick of me

my favorite song is when someone calls out a problematic company & then i head to their page and their views are high but their like count is low and their comment section is HIGH AF.

something about a :30 add costing $8,000,000+ does not sit right with me

kendrick dissing drake on the biggest stage in the world is the highlight of my 2025 #aminorrrrrrr

One thing that really irks me is all these book girlies saying how against Trump they are & they’re allies for bipoc & queer communities etc.. and then the next day are promoting people like SJM, Yarros, Elle Kennedy, JKR… like girly pop what?

Keep em coming!

the way AI is everywhere; like I just opened my google doc and this little bitch appeared.

WHAT! well tell your brain to stop because those are silly thoughts

people defend sarah j maas and rebecca yarros in my tt comments like they are paying their bills… friend stand up #boosky

i need a nap. miss being a kid when they were mandatory 😭

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

i sent these to my fiance so he can pick which one to save as his bg. i wanted the valentine’s day whore one but he liked the other better :/

anyway fuck elon musk

okay my skeets… are y’all seeing my skeets??

every other social media has seen my chaotic writing vlog #booksky #writersky

trying to help my mother over the phone with issues with her cellphone make me want to commit a crime

it’s not healthy, but i get these little tubs of mangos for like five bucks and i get a few and i eat a tub a day…. i can’t help it. i’ve been salivating all day at work thinking about eating them when i get home 😭🤭

This gem comes out tomorrow! Perfect if you love Zen Cho and Nghi Vo! 📽️ 2 young Vietnamese women trying to become stars in 1930s Hollywood 💜 Found family 🤝🏼 Making deals with the dead ⚔️ The ghost of grandma insisting the MC get involved in clan business #booksky

Kendrick had no plan to win any of this shit. He was just hatin and look where it got him. There’s a lesson there!

thank god it’s february. also, if you don’t send your black friend at least $5 today you’re racist. sorry it’s in the rule book.

what’s up #booksky

not enough people are using the opportunities where trump is answering questions to ask him “what does this mean?” when he answers a question without answering questions. bc his answers are stupid. if someone asked him for clarity he’ll be stumped or come up with another non answer

Time to return to the basics. There are so many elements to this story that need need need need need revision.

in a comment i made about trump……

so Tome is just substack and instagram had a baby right? #booksky

me: i need to take a social media break jayci: clocks my tea in my defense, the video is actually so funny

You are amazing!!!

here’s the feet pics as promised for hitting 2k 🤭🤭🤭😊

i think me and social media need to go on a break for this next week. and its not bc of the feet pics i promised (which you’ll still get), but i just need my time away and only posting when i’ve finished a book. so this is me saying goodbye for a week.

you know what’s hard: standing on business. i get married in march. i am uninviting people who voted for trump. these are not easy conversations but i have to stick by what i said. and it’s emotional a lot more than i thought it would be
