You might recognize a certain pro-Black hyperopinionated self righteous Author on a bookshelf at Culture Con. 💜

My community of Black Authors and Booksellers have really come thru for me with hearts and advocacy of action in light of recent news that will soon be shared. I felt like a failure. I still do. But that is the insidiousness of the machine grinding creativity through tied hands and cold platitudes.

I can either finish this chapter of my Middle Grade Coming of Age Horror, I can finish the comic pitch or I can finish this pilot. All three cannot be done today I fear.

And let it be known: yes, all Black nerd creatives know each other and talk and ride for each other. So come correct or you will be traveling alone.

A Black woman observing Hal Jordan was racist for that line and behavior is really as plain as a bird noting a cat just purred. Because that line was a racist macroaggression. Not micro. That shit was overt and obnoxious.

Idk its strange not to expect your behavior to be represented in how folk treat you

I had one advocating for gatekeeping and put himself on a pedestal as a tastemaker holding the line in Publishing ( He has maybe 25k followers and a Ph.D. candidacy) but get shocked when noone wanted to blurb or send recos for opportunity. I thought we was gatekeeping?

Threads is interesting bc these tik tok book reviewers will cuss you and your mother out (not in a review, just casually on the tl) then ask why they don't get any industry support when they pivot to being authors.

I think Facebook does this as well, except it effects Republicans more because the pro GOP content is all slop now. It helps even more that Facebook has auto-reply Ai. The volume you can fight with strangers using utter nonsense is mind melting, and the content keeps flowing.

here and there 🪻

A semi-medium, semi-aerial photo of a Black person wearing a lavender or lilac form-fitting shirt and wide-leg cargo jeans with multiple pockets. They are wearing a pair of white New Balance sneakers, a rusty silver link chain with a butterfly pendant, a silver butterfly earring cuff on their right ear helix, and a silver nose ring on their left nostril. The person appears to be fairly muscular with a sizable chest, traps, and biceps. They have a low haircut with waves, a beard, and a moustache. The person is standing in a neutral stance, looking up at the photographer, whilst heading up an escalator. There is a bandage on their left cheek and an iphone in their right hand. Their glance is unassuming and one of subtle happiness. The scene is neutral in color. There is a generic polka-dot-like tile on the right and left walls of the metro station the person is presumably leaving; the escalator is metallic; the ceiling is a neutral but aged white; and there is lighting coming from behind the lens, which suggests the person is exiting to outside. The photo caption reads: “here and there 🪻”

Are there any Project or Program coordinators looking for Black writers to support panels or talks celebrating the 100 year anniversary of “Fire!! A Quarterly Devoted to the Younger Negro Artists”?
