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 when I say I love Step Up I mean all the movies except the first. I LITERALLY cant remember what happened in ts. I think Mario was in it or something.

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.

There is a difference between being someone who cares about good things, being someone who desires good treatment and being a good person.

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.

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 🪻”

A crime duo comedy featuring a pre-Hellfire Emma Frost and post-Brotherhood Mystique as they take over New York City in the 1980s as sex working scammers looking for their big break.

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”?

To the Black Authors who got a great book deal during the DEI Summer just to be mistreated by the Publisher now that Diversity, Black Voices and DEI is no longer en vogue...
