How dare I be so charmed with "Awake and not crying" (a Northern European response to "How are you?") when my grandmother gave me "Clothed and in my right mind." It can be so hard to recognize wisdom in familiar places.

And you should know that Marietta House Museum is a former plantation now dedicated to telling the story of enslaved people and 19th century Black Americans.

This playlist found me and I'm so glad it did! Perfect for reading on the subway and walking up hills. Also, the best argument I can give for splurging on YouTube premium is now I have uninterrupted DJ sets in my life. #musicsky #housemusic #blacksky #edenappiahkusi #authorlife

Still thinking about this from the sermon at my church this morning: "Who is my neighbor, the person's whose pain I cannot ignore." To quote my Oklahoma bestie, that'll preach

Black lady lifehack: I don't care how much of an ally they are, if your non-Black friend/acquaintance tells you they hate Sinners DO NOT ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS. There will be no turning this conversation around. Just leave the conversation and find a place to stress eat peanut M&Ms in peace.

I'm Eden, author of romance & women's fic centering nerdy Black heroines. I love pre-chorus of "What a Fool believes" for the line "as she rises to her apology," & how the singer drops the last two words half an octave. Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment that you like?

HAPPY LABOR DAY! A time to remember that the weekend and the 8 hour day were not gifts from the bosses but concessions demanded by united workers. #solidarityforever

This feels like a good time to remember we wouldn't have a long weekend or any weekends wo unions.

It's also got me thinking A LOT about Death of the Author and the wide gap between Delores, the ordinary 12 year old only called that L name by her abuser and the teenage femme fatale in heart-eyed sunglasses pop culture turned her into. As a writer, it's distressing. 2/2 #lolita #books #booksky

Highly Recommend watching this video essay about the complicated legacy of Lolita. I now feel comfortable about saying that I have never been able to get beyond the first three chapters. Humbert Humbert's minds just to distressing a place for me to dwell. 1/2 #booksky #lolita #books #nabokov

5.1) And Sol having all the energy for Mela, but then demure accepting the apology from Sincere. 🙄 I want to hear talk on grief, or advocating for unhoused folks, or revealing an obsession with true crime---something! There has to be more to her than being pretty and being wronged. #LoveIslandUSA

Eden Appiah-Kubi @edenawrites.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

5) Speaking of diminishing returns: Sol. On the show she had an air of mystery and the audience felt robbed of when she left. But outside the villa, the most interesting thing she did was change her hair. We haven't learned ANYTHING new about this WOMAN. At this point, I'm good. #LoveIslandUSA

Eden Appiah-Kubi @edenawrites.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

4) Kenzie reminded us who she is without a worthy antagonist (i.e Corbin or Dillon). That is... kind of a one trick pony. Her split is getting a bit tired. Her conversation with Mela reminded me of how badly I wanted her GONE before Casa. I fear #beyondthevilla will not serve her. #LoveIslandUSA

Eden Appiah-Kubi @edenawrites.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

3) KC didn't come off well, BUT he wasn't awful. If he and TiTi focus on themselves, they can build careers beyond #LoveIslandUSA. Their couple is the most #relatable still standing; they should lean into that! They definitely have the most to gain from #beyondthevilla I wish them well.

2) I was surprised buy how much I enjoyed the live audience. They were mostly unobtrusive and production didn't use them for corny gags. *shudders in former Bachelor fan.* Even when a section cheered for someone I disagreed with, it felt more like production creating a fair fight. #LoveIslandUSA
