The Love Simulation is finally out! #booksky #blackbooksky amzn.to/4kqIC4T

Just gonna scooch in here, if you don’t mind…

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

I heart Tina Smith.

"Octavia Butler was not just imagining how bad things could get. She was looking at the history of America and predicting, with uncomfortable accuracy, exactly how bad it is designed to get." - Parable may be one of the most impactful books you will ever read. See below for details on how to enter!

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Human #artist, let’s QRT with our work! 🎨 Before vs After #wip, #art

The number of women gleefully participating in MeToo backlash campaigns without even realizing they’re a part of a larger movement to undermine their safety and equality makes me depressed beyond words

Hope my book lovers & writers had an amazing & safe new years celebration!

"Publisher and CEO Will Lewis, handpicked by owner Jeff Bezos to save the Post, hasn't impressed the candidates with his vision for the future, the sources tell us. One person involved in the search told us Lewis' pitch was foggy and uninspiring."

Ain't nothing more fuckin humbling then a rejection a NetGalley one. Not only do they reject you but they give you a list of reasons of WHY they don't fuck with YOU in particular.

briefly caught a CNN clip of the host complaining that the CEO's murder spot in NYC didn't have any memorial like George Floyd or Rittenhouse's victims 😒

like i have been saying, a lot of americans do not treat politics as “real” — they approach it with an ironic distance that allows them to treat clear threats and statements of intent as mere rhetoric. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/u...

Are any of my bookworm mutuals on Booktube (YouTube)? Please link me.

But I think one thing that we're forgetting about Drake is that outside of being a weirdo who likes young girls, which is bad enough in itself, he's just a terrible human overall. When Kid Cudi checked himself into an institution to deal with depression and being suicidal, Drake taunted him about it

Drake trolled Meg for suing a man who actually shot her… and now he crying trying to sue a man over a diss track? It was all fun and games until the joke flipped on his high yellow ass 😂

I have long believed that Harry Potter was one of the book franchises that was simply too big to fail. It's such a huge part of our pop culture zeitgeist that nothing is going to touch it. HBO and Warner Brothers are NEVER going to stop giving this woman money. www.them.us/story/on-tdo...

I love having writer friends cos currently I'm attempting to set a pickup time with a friend for a book that's hers before I leave & look at this reply. "...I would've bent the world to get it in my hands..." I love my beoble.

✨ #arttrain ✨ QRP with your #sketch vs final artwork! I normally give clients three or four sketch variants on their idea, then let them pick and choose elements from each before we settle on a final design. For example, here you can see the embers from sketch C being adopted into sketch A.

Ending the night with today’s thread of Sudanese creatives I’d like you to know about (day 5!) 🙌🏾 #KeepEyesOnSudan Starting off with visual artist Hashim Nasr. His work is vivid, evocative, deeply tender. HIGHLY recommend!

Since you're here... I wrote a book about a witch doctor teaming up with a Changeling to steal weapons from God for the mafia. There are swears and tiddies in it and they also rob a bank and fuck in the shower so if you're into that kind of thing you should give me all your monies. a.co/d/gjX6XTR

Just a reminder that it was not James Baldwin who said this but essayist & novelist Robert Jones Jr. who was behind the online account SonOfBaldwin ❣️🥺

We know from history (including recent history) that the farther right our country moves, the less it prioritizes its most marginalized. Here is a list of a few Black owned bookstores you can consider supporting through your book buying in 2025 (and right now!)

I am looking for Black and brown developmental editors, line editors, graphic designers, marketing experts and bookstore owners who want to work with me on a super secret project to bring some immediate change for Black and brown authors. Comment below if you are interested in talking more.

if you’re a non-black author who decides to write a black mc, you absolutely need to take responsibility for the gross reception and erasure done to said character from your own reader base and speak tf up. there’s no reason you should let racism and colorism fly within your own fandom.

Forbidden by Beverly Jenkins is on sale for $1.99 amzn.to/3UTKTKF (kindle) [Seems redundant to say but THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SERIES.] #Romancelandia

The chokehold this series has on me is indescribable. Black romance authors will do it every time.

I heard we’re posting our post popular art from The Bad Place

Hey Pookie! Welcome to my page! My name is Sierra. I’ve been a book influencer for 4 years, I’ve been co-hosting a political podcast for 8 years and I’ve been quirky all my life. 🤣 The graphic below is to help understand me better. Thanks for being here! 💛💛💛

Omg omg it’s been 1 year since Outdrawn by Deanna Grey was released. This is one of my fav romances. It’s sapphic, rivals to lovers, hilarious banter, with a hottie on a motorcycle.. need I say more? #booksky #blackbooksky #sapphicbooks

I truly believe that we can come together as a community and be unwell enough to make this website stick

Welp that’s all I needed🤣. Here’s to Black Love. Also I’m gonna make this a thread so open to see the outfit changes 😉

Reminder to my bookworms. 💗

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops. They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities. Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish . Thank you.
