Note for the upcoming holiday season,,, some of us are on a sobriety journey and mocktails or non-alcoholic beer options make a big difference 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

no offense to anyone, but if you’re using generative AI to write, it’s possible that you’re missing the entire point of writing… #booksky #writingcommunity

I love the dialogue on this post! 💙📚 Reading is fundamental, but we should talk more about how hard it is to redevelop the skill—or, in some cases, develop it for the first time. Like building endurance or flexibility, it’s work! Less shame, more support! Here are my tips for reading again 👇🏾🫶🏾
The graphic has two icons, one for the Libby app and one for the Hoopla app, and there is a stack of pastel-colored book spines halfway down the page. Mostly, the graphic is text. 

The text reads: "Education is strength. I believe we lose our power when we lose interest in or access to the history and imagination found in books. I once disconnected from reading because I struggled to find characters like me. 

Then, I learned that so many great stories go unread due to systemic interference. Now, I’m highlighting underrepresented fiction and transformative nonfiction because I’m inspired to fight back.  

Libby and Hoopla are two mobile apps that make it easy to sign up for a library card and download digital and audiobooks. It’s free.

Literacy is in crisis and access to literature is under attack. We cannot lose revolutionary books. We cannot lose libraries. We cannot lose our power.

I hope to inspire someone’s revolution, which I hope begins with one very good book. 

If you’re still finding your way back to the books you once enjoyed, you’re not alone. I’ve found it’s a skill requiring time and intention to rebuild. Start small!

Read: 30 minutes before bed. On your lunch break. One night per week

Listen: In the shower. While commuting. During meal prep."

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

To the people who consider art ‘a waste of time’—creating & consuming art transcends entertainment. Art can be healing, empathetic, informative, progressive. It is intrinsic & primitive. Humans evolved because of storytelling. To deny the value of art is to deny living life to the fullest. #booksky

1. We need a lot of things, but this “disruption” isn’t one of them. 2. This is a vanity press, and fuck vanity presses. 3. Fuck this. Looking forward to seeing it crash and burn.

Over a year of sustained grief & rage, resisting Zionist-American genocide in Gaza that is only escalating, has boiled over into a larger critical essay on the cultural resistance landscape. Inshallah this inspires some bravery from some of y'all mizna.org/mizna-online...

This morning I saw a dude riding a skateboard while his dog pulled him on a leash like a sled dog. If that’s not SoCal winter, idk what is 😆

Writing advice 💯 I would also add learning when to show vs tell is key. Let me explain. E.g. - if the MC’s sibling disappeared before your story starts, and that’s crucial to your story (as the mystery will be unveiled), don’t just tell the reader. Show them to make them invested. How? (more below)

friends in ed recovery, it’s ok to ‘miss out’ on pop culture right now if you find it triggering. Filter out keywords, click ‘not interested,’ limit screen time, pls reach out for support professionally & personally. whatever u need to do to stay strong❤️‍🩹 recovery looks different for everyone!

Thinking how resilient creatives are these days. been really tough staying focused and inspired to create, when it feels like everyone thinks our jobs are going obsolete. How many times has art endured centuries of struggle yet here we are. Cheers to us who still paint on Sundays, despite it all 💖🥂

Okay but hear me out: A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.
