PSA for the #Bafta situation: Sorry is such a powerful tool. It's NOT an admission of guilt or bad intentions. It's an acknowledgment that something you've done, even if it was out of your control and involuntary, caused harm in some way or contributed to a person feeling less than. #blackbooksky

Friendly reminder that if you write, you're a writer #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky #amquerying

Horrifying notes on #RealityCheck (Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model): 🚩 Tyra Banks using the times to excuse EVERYTHING 🚩 SA being dressed as a cheating scandal to young minds learning about consent 🚩 Black girls/women asking for help but having their autonomy shamed #ANTM #BHM

"Wait, how many unfinished stories do I have??" I've always beat myself up for being a writer whose unfinished/finished ratio is staggering. But projects are like a garden Some flowers bloom faster, some stay buds forever, but I'm glad I planted them all #booksky #writingcommunity #ao3 #artsky

Dystopia has a kind of weird function in the world now. I know a lot of folks are bingeing romance and cozy (or cozy romance!) as a buffer against the world and I get it. I'm finding myself drawn to dystopia instead, because we need stories of hope against adversity too now, more than ever. #booksky

What 2016 writing trends do you think might make a comeback? In 2016, I was still obsessed with all the 2015 teen movies, so I'm here for books with the vibe of Paper Towns or Mockingjay part 2 #writingcommunity #2016vibes #tbr #blackbooksky #booksky #papertowns #johngreen #hungergames

“I want to say that Africa’s history and brilliance is there, and I want to say that Black people can be magical and fantastical creatures, as well as anything else.” — Natasha Bowen #blackbooksky #romantasy #booksky #diversereads #tbr #blackmc #natashabowen #writingcommunity

The fact that Zoe Saldaña believes Neytiri is racist speaks to the depth of just how little the franchise understands marginalization A person (from an ethnic group) experiencing genocide can exhibit wariness towards a colonizer and those connected to them. This is the nuance of trauma #avatar

The cultural impact of Avatar: - An inability to sympathize with marginalized perspectives born to a culture (vs an MC human wearing the skin of the Na'vi and anyone who takes his side) - The urge to demonize the JUSTIFIED anger from a group experiencing global devastation #avatar #neytiri

Gentle reminder: You're not a feminist if... 🚫 You don't support sapphic women (lesbian, bi, pan, etc.) 🚫 You don't support Black and Brown women 🚫 You don't support trans women 🚫 You leave marginalized people to defend themselves #booksky #blackbooksky #writingcommunity #lgbtq #woc

Who else is gobbling Moonhaven up? (And is that Charlie from Lost lol? He's always involved in some substance scandal lol, from the island to the moon) #moonhaven #netflix #moviereview #filmreview

Wondering if Mickey 17 remembers that Black women are humans and not angry, pleasure objects? #booksky #blackbooksky #mickey17 #filmreview #moviereview #blackwomen

So, #HeatedRivalry decided to try its hand at the disposable Black gf trope 🙄😮‍💨 Here I was just trying to enjoy an MM sports romance only to get sucker punched by someone like me, once again, being used as a road bump in the way to non-Black characters' HEA. Fun. Great. Quirky #booksky #blackbooksky

"It hadn’t hurt, the day he had cut out his own heart. Andrew had written about it later in spidery lines from a sharp pen ... No one would want a heart like his." — #DontLettheForestIn by #CGDrews #booksky #quotes #mmromance #amreading #bookcommunity #writingcommunity #lgbtq #angst #gaypanic

What are your thoughts on the argument: I wrote [insert marginalized character] the same way I would write ANY other person? How could that be problematic? How could that be counter-problematic? I have my own thoughts, but I'd love to hear yours #booksky #blackbooksky #writingcommunity #amwriting

This is something I will never understand about our book community... If authors (who aren't being rude) can't look at critcism, how are they supposed to improve? #bookspaces #writingcommunity #booksky #amwriting #amquerying #blackbooksky #writersky #bookishhottake #fandomdiscourse #fanfic
