PEOPLE DUMPING TRUMP OVER GAS PRICES AND NOT CHILD RAPE IS SCARY.

Today, it was raining so I pulled out some old magazines and made a collage. It made me happy.

For anyone interested, I just started a petition to get anything created using generative AI disqualified from Eisner Award consideration moving forward. Please consider signing and sharing. www.change.org/no-ai-at-the...

Kin by Tayari Jones. Believe all the hype + more.

Gonna be giving away some books soon. I cleaned the garage and have two stacks ready to go. Thought about doing a raffle, but I’d rather let anyone who buys a copy of House of Bone and Rain pick a book (or two or three, depending on how many fit in the mailer). Stay tuned…

Four rounds interview process. If I don’t land this job…

It’s Friday and I made homemade blueberry biscuits so yummy

I’m back to hyperlocal newspaper journalism. Coming to a NJ/PA paper near you.

White students make up 12.5% of NYC public school students with IEPs, but they are 71% of students receiving public school funding to attend private schools. These inequalities were anecdotally clear before - now we have this staggering data. Excellent reporting by @alexzimmerman.bsky.social.

Life has been kicking my ass BUT I have been writing my ass off.

Hello.

Check out Silence 5+6: DREAM / NIGHTMARE by Łukasz Majcher on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/moo...

it’s “interesting” that some female celebs came out n support of Ai this week. Feels planted. Apparently women use Ai less, so we’re now being targeted? Deepfakes unclothing women, misogynistic Ai ads about not having to pay “this woman” + amplifications of sexism might have something to do with it.

Manifesting really hard. Just landed another job interview and a referral

And I love how she’s wearing her moon girl shirt with her hair out! Her Afro is massive and I love how she’s visually announcing herself. Like yeah, I’m a smart Black girl. Deal with it lol

Today is the big day. The kiddo is testing for gifted and talented. Of course some of her friends are here.

This box is huge and heavy. #booksky

Damn every time I post on here I get blocked by several accounts I’m not even following. I have no idea what’s that about

100%. There’s a reason why many of the most captivating social leaders came from upper middle class backgrounds.

I feel like a lot of the struggle to get proper care and support for vets rests directly on racism. Conservatives hero-worship the troops and often their views on veterans overlaps with what other people want. But their reps consistently fuck over vets.

[Tyrion Lannister voice] that’s what I do. I eat Cadbury Mini Eggs and I know things

The MCU’s X-Men director shared which iconic era of Marvel comics he’s drawing inspiration from.

If you trynna donate $40/80 so a sad bitch can get her doctor prescribed happy bitch medicine sooner lmkkkkk 🤣🤣🤣

The article shows remarkable footage from a thermal drone cam showing Grok's "unpermitted gas turbines" in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Mississippi. They quote a former EPA official stating it's "illegal."

For anyone, freelancers or otherwise, fretting over a crazy tax bill, remember you can easily sign up to pay in an installment plan. I survived for years on this, and while not totally ideal, the interest is not terrible and it’s better than having to take a loan/stress: www.irs.gov/payments/pay...

Because honestly, my kid isn’t a strong reader because of luck. I have been exposing her to books since she could grab one. But I also acknowledge kids mimic what they see, too. To have kids who are strong readers then need to see adults reading as well.

I remembered a few months ago I told yall how I use comics to build a strong independent reader and I’m going to take those posts and make it an article. I want people to accept how important comics are to literature, art, comprehension abilities and language.

Also! Middle grade graphic novels that younger and older readers can enjoy is a sign of a good book.

She’s currently reading Mixed Feelings the graphic novel and it’s a bit older for her bc she’s 7 but I’ve already read the book so I’m asking her questions about the characters and story to see how much she understands.

I told her if she wants book mail as well she gonna have to write book reports. Lmao yes I’m serious.

But let me tell you. Yall niece told me she doesn’t understand why I get book mail and she doesn’t. So Scholastic, Sourcebooks, Workman and Penguin Random House was kind enough to send her a couple of boxes of book mail. #booksky

Also! My baby has been invited to test into gifted and talented. I’m very proud of her!!! No matter what happens, I will also be proud of her accomplishments from the little things to the big things.

I’m loving all these moon pics

Men will invest literally trillions of dollars in time, resources, conceptual energy, and paradigmatic drive in science fictional ideas which we as a species have not even one millionth the sociotechnical capacity for rather than go to therapy.

I wrote “Black excellence is the backbone to Black liberalism” and I kinda want to write an essay around that.

How yall moanin on a text app? Yall making videos in the dark and just uploading?

I gotta get these thoughts off. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yall were having moan rooms on the skyline while I was away lol

It makes me upset bc I’ve seen so many stories of white families buying homes on their GI bills and realizing my granddaddy had to leave Columbus GA for Chicago after returning from war bc nobody would hire him

Automatic draft but not voting is certainly a choice huh
