Shivani's Cosmic Dance -- imagine this except as group dance battles between humans and demons in this world and the next. The bells on Shivani's feet, the demons she's turned into rocks that help give her power when she dances. #MG #F #agented #dvparty

White folks refuse to see their own history. They gotta look at atrocities overseas at the measure. BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HAD A MOMENT TO BREATHE IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE OF THIS WHITE PEOPLE BULLSHIT.

hey this isn’t about anything in particular but if someone mentions they enjoy something and your first reaction is to tell them how much you hate that something, you’re boring and annoying.

Why was Emmett Till killed? Because a white woman told a lie. Why was Black Wall Street burned down? Because a white woman told a lie. And why did Kyren Lacy take his own life? Because a white woman told a lie. Our society infantilizes white women, so much so that we forget they owned slaves too.

The brand white liberal I can't fucking stand is the person who will say all the right buzz words: anti-racist, pro-LGBTQ+, BLM, and all that. But when you look at their social media posts, they only have white cishet friends. and they don't hire or support marginalized people at all.

Feels like a decade ago seats at cafes were nicer to sit on, still similar seats but it feels different for some reason, can't tell if I was getting older or not. Please #cafes make more comfortable seats for thosew who want to chill, read, write on laptops etc. #writingcommunity

PSA: if you ever need a meal and can't afford one and don't want to jump through these hoops, fund a gurdwara. They are obligated to feed you for free with no strings attached

I don't know if it's just me getting older or not, but does anyone else feel like chairs in cafes just aren't very comfortable anymore? A few cafes I went to this year just didn't have comfortable seating for long periods of writing. (Outside ones being the worst to sit) #WritingCommunity #writers

I am not sure who writes this show, but I am pretty sure an Indian woman, or any Asians, would not ask "Why is this man barefooted in my house" when most would find it more respectful. Her white husband was right there to say the line but okay.

i'm sick of the narrative that real gamers play intense games like elden ring or multiplayer shooters. real gamers are emulating the PC-98 to play a 40-hour eroge that you've never heard of with the most compelling character writing ever seen in the genre

I run a support group video chat for #SouthAsian #kidlit and #yalit #writers and #illustrators. I started this chat in 2020 and we just had a wonderful chat tonight. Email me to join my mailing list to learn about the next one. #kidlitart

If you have “a cold” or “the flu” right now, covid is surging in the US. Try to get tested, and if you’re positive, get paxlovid, which can decrease the severity of the acute symptoms and reduce the odds of your getting long covid. Most importantly, REST. For 2 weeks, minimum. Be kind to yourself.

📣📣📣 There is no such thing as too old to enjoy something!!!

ON parents please be aware that 'public health' will NOT notify you if there is a confirmed COVID case in your child's classroom. They will not close a classroom if there was a confirmed COVID +ve case either. 'Public health' IS deliberately harming your children by exposing them to COVID in schools

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.

Um.... Who's gonna tell these dummies that Kanto is set in a Japan inspired word, and Ash is Japanese? Why would Ash make America great again? He's the type of person these MAGAs want to deport, not keep in the country.

“This isn’t the America I know” Black People:

I’m old enough to remember when people pretended U.S.A. was the greatest country on the planet. I grew up around a lot of folks who bought into this myth. Ironically, they were kids who never traveled and had parents that never read books, but they always had guns in their homes.

There’s an outsized reaction to the cancellation of Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel because they’re absolutely not the first to be dropped (I was shocked when Joy Reid and Mehdi Hasan were fired, for instance) but I think people did believe that the rich, white, late-night guys were untouchable 😬

They're canceling shows! They went on a spree not only canceling but removing from access some of the best shows and movies that represented diverse audiences and people thought it was cool because they had "race fatigue"

It's #BisexualAwarenessWeek so I'm obligated to shout about my bisexual—pansexual, even—debut novel ENDPAPERS! "A dizzying, intimate mystery, an exploration of how we become engrossed in the stories of others in order to tell ones of ourselves.”—Electric Literature bookshop.org/p/books/endp...

hey so i never want to hear someone say “racism is dead,” again, k?

Everything that is happening to rich famous white people has already happened to rich famous Black people.

Jimmy Kimmel has millions The teachers who got fired ? Don’t The Black women who were put on websites for THE FIRST HALF OF THIS ENTIRE YEAR don’t The immigrants scared to go outside because they are kidnapping them out of cars? But yeah!!!! Now it matters?!?

I truly hope the truth will come out. I feel for this poor family, as well for the family of the other man, Cory Zukatis, who was also found hanging from a tree.

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

Really tired of LGBT people existing being a hot political topic. Sorry this isn’t funny I’m just exhausted.

Hey Americans, please tell your President to stop going after Australia and zip his small orange mouth up.

Excuse me Bluesky, but why the heck are you showing me posts from people using AI and some AIcommunity tag? Did I somehow like a post from them or what? Because they are suddenly on my feed for no reason.

I hate to be that person ALL the time but they've been regularly lynching Black ppl since 2016. There's been little mention of it. When they are covered, it's always a suicide. Then nothing else.

A young black man was found hanging from a tree at Delta University in Mississippi. He was 21 and his body was bruised up, with both arms broken and a broken leg. I am going to say this 1 million times. Black people do not hang themselves if they decide to commit suicide. His name is Tyree Reed!

They’re coming for Black and brown folks + women no matter what, y'all. So, I'ma do the damn thing. I’ma write it. I’ma push my business. I’ma tell my truth as lived in the body I inherited. And I will NOT, I repeat, NOT apologize nor honor anyone who dishonored OR dishonors my very damn existence.

After this week, I really, really wonder what some of you would’ve said to enslaved people if they danced and rejoiced when a slave owner died. Would you have demanded mourning? Would you lambast them for dancing? And if so, do you see how much in common you would’ve had with a slave owner?

Not to be controversial on main, but a quick Latine Heritage Month reminder! spanish =/= Latinx/e/o/a Please research authors before including them in your roundups! Thank you for coming to my ted talk!

AHHH!!!! My sapphic secret rockstar bookstore romance is lauching TODAY!!! Thank you so much to the team at @youhadmeathea and to everyone who has supported this book already!! 🩷🥰🫶🥹🙌

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

That young Black man in Mississippi was lynched. It wasn't suicide. Black folks don't hang themselves on trees. Black folks don't do that. Rest in peace my brother.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

[Rant continues] Because if you continue to justify why you refused to vote for Harris when we are HERE after only 8 months, I can’t even try with you. And I won’t. You dragged all of us into this authoritarian fever dream, if you didn’t vote for Harris. There is no excuse for what you did.

America owes Black people reparations. That’s why some White people are so committed to burying our history. They don’t want people to understand the connection between them and now.
