I'm a day late but yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Supernatural so here's the reference to it I snuck into my book.

As a Millennial back in school, I can say with certainty that the part of my brain that cannot remember probability equation formulas is the part that still remembers every word to the Hymn of the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen from Ren & Stimpy.

A lot of times I drive for ten miles with the emergency brake on. That doesn't say a lot for me, but it really doesn't say a lot for the "emergency brake". It's really not an emergency brake, it's an emergency "make the car smell funny lever".

Moments from the field with Justin Robinson… This tune is “Ryestraw” from our new album “What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow.” Listen now: giddensrobinson.lnk.to/BlackbirdCrow

I've said this before but I'll say it again If your reading recommendations (especially if you are an industry professional of some kind) include no works by Black authors Then I urge you to *seek out and read* more work by Black authors

You discover an orange cat. Orange cat has babies, some orange. They grow up, have babies. Cycle continues. Wow, there's a lot of orange cats! Congrats, you just figured out why there's more Autistics than 50 yrs ago. Genetics, & being able to discover more orange cats- I mean diagnose Autistics.

I was selected in the second grade to represent my school at the regional "Young Writers' Conference." My entry was a blatant self-insert ghost story with me as the ghost.

Me: I am technically "Updates Only" on The Other Place, I should go over there and at least update... The Other Place: Jews have non-human DNA! Me: *closes door quietly*

Almost forgot to wish a happy birthday to my book baby! They grow up so fast...

Probably Alison Bechdel, in a now-defunct LGBTQ+ bookstore in Atlanta called Outwrite when she was on the Fun Home tour. There were promotional postcards and she drew a picture of me on the back of one.

I've been cagey about this since I look young and in this youth-obsessed industry hoped I could pass for one of the cool-kid rising stars instead of someone who'd been at it for decades before I broke through. But isn't that kind of the point of this? So... 42.

Heartbroken for Dolly. Her love for Carl, and his for her, is something we should all wish for.

I don’t like how ppl within our own country get pissy about the word y’all. It’s you + all. It follows all the rules of a proper contraction. But let’s get to the base of it. It’s rooted in the south so you think it’s wrong bc you think southerners are stupid.

When we searched Trump's executive orders & agencies for a clear definition of "DEI," there wasn't one. But after we looked at what's being targeted by MAGA resegregationists, the definition was clear: DEI is their term for "something that doesn't help white people.."

It's #InternationalWheelchairDay and the perfect day to promote my book where a young wheelchair user fights literal and metaphorical demons to save her family, her town, and the day. www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

Challenged myself to pick one with zero Muppets in it and it's gotta be this one (older than me, introduced to me by my dad)

Ye brynge to mynde the babe. What babe? That babe wyth the knowlech. What knowlech? The knowlech of sorcerye. Sorcerye? Assuredlye! Assuredlye what? Brynge to mynde the babe. #Labyrinth #Bowie

A JUIT!!!

I still smell the carpet from lying on my stomach between the stacks so the nobody would find me and steer me back to the kids' section

It just clicked. "Trans women (or men putting on dresses and pretending to be trans women) and assaulting kids in bathrooms" is this generation's razorblades in apples/Satanic cults abusing kids as ritual sacrifice/every boogeyman we come to look back on and wonder how so many people believed.

There's so much to say about that awful anti-trans White House page but the way they put Professional Loser Riley Gaines on there... Girl. They could ban every trans woman and she still couldn't win the prize out of a Cracker Jack box.

Necromancy without consent, breaking and entering into a church/funeral home, stealing from the dead (does it count as grave robbery if they haven't been buried yet?), [REDACTED] #WritingPrompt

And yes! Some of those people live in RED STATES but they are children or disabled or elderly or don't want to leave their homes and voted for Harris and are suffering now anyway so maybe blanket statements that "they deserve it" aren't accurate

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money

I always see those threads that are like "what's your benign opinion you get REALLY passionately opinionated about?" And I finally found mine! (Answer below)

Call this what it is. Every order by this sham government to "remove racial bias" is an order to institute bias in favor of white people.

Right, because doing this to any one group is sacrificing your humanity, but also, where does it end? If you are willing to throw one marginalized group under the bus "to protect everyone else," what happens when the fascists come back and ask you to sacrifice another group? And another?

I know it's hard to write when the fear of book bans & soft censorship looms over all BIPOC & LGBTQ writers. Especially middle grade authors who can't get into schools to promote their books anymore. Book bans are doing exactly what they want-stopping us from writing. DON'T LET THEM! KEEP WRITING!

I have to take a moment of appreciation for the amazing Millennial cast of this cult classic: Jena Malone as the teen mom, who only slept with her gay boyfriend to "save him from the sin of homosexuality," Patrick Fugit as the sk8r b0i preacher's son who loves her, Eva Amurri as a Jewish girl >>>

Hey! It’s February 20th so you’re running out of time to watch that iconic Black horror movie you missed last February. It will disappear in 8 days and you might have to wait another year. Hit play friends. Hit play today.

Remembering Toni Morrison on her birthday (February 18, 1931 – August 5, 2019) 🩷💚🕊

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Its #IndieAnimationDay and Black History month! so, hello internet, our black girl coming of age animated fantasy film will be premiering this year! We hope you'll stick around for our debut!

Trans peeps, QRP with a pic of yourself that you love This show was amazing and I was so lucky to get to be there. And I looked cute

Never have I ever tried to bring my best friend, who died in a freak accident, back to life with disastrous consequences #WritingPrompt

In case anybody's still wondering if the site formerly known as Twitter might be salvageable, they're over there debating whether or not Hitler was a bad person.

What if I don't WANT to be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned? What if I wanted to be an architect? Stop trying to live out your failed dreams through me, dad

Spite. I firmly believe that through spite, all things are possible

qs your lock screen

It's really hard to feel shitty about yourself and help someone else at the same time. So when you start feeling like you're a scumbag, look for a way you can help. Worst case scenario, you're a scumbag who just did some good.

Spite can be one of the most powerful motivating forces, if channelled correctly. Do it out of spite. Create out of spite. Live, in spite of it all. Just don't let it consume you.

Aaaand we're here

I've always loved a good came-back-wrong story. If you scratch me you will always find a bit of early Supernatural, so think the FIRST time Sam died iykyk, and there some Beetlejuice in there, some Buffy, a dash of Frankenstein. #HorrorWritersChat

You can't mess with perfection! My favorite is Jordan Peele's Us, and imo there is no way to improve on that ending. Maybe Re-Joyce, the revived and not quite real Joyce, as something similar to the Tethered could have been fun to explore in the middle as a cameo... probably not! #HorrorWritersChat

My first instinct is to say I'd become Rory even though she's already based on me, just to know what it's like to bring dead people back. Then again, she's not very good at it! Maybe I'd be better off as Iva the shopkeeper who knows what she's doing (and what not to mess with.) #HorrorWritersChat

I'm Mo. I write MG & YA horror & dark contemporary fantasy. A fave line from my YA necromancy/came-back-wrong WIP I love bc it fits my MC so well: "At least I'm dressed for the occasion, though some people would probably say the black lipstick and mourning veil were overkill." #HorrorWritersChat
