Fine I’ll dream bigger 😌

This will be the look on my face when OUR VICIOUS OATHS is a bestseller! That’s been my biggest dream from the start: to write a wildly popular romantasy novel with Black MCs.

US preorder links are finally going up so I’m taking it as a sign 🙌🏾

EA Noble is an unbelievable writer and a Black woman fighting for her place in the industry. If you have $7 you can spare, go pre-order her r-release of When Blood Meets Earth! A Fae, anti-colonial fantasy! Help this be a massive success!

There is a trend going around in bookstagram rn where people are sharing fun collages about the “vibes they bring to the function”. I posted mine on IG (small plug to follow me there too hehe), but I thought I’d share it here as well:

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon.

But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

People Have Had Non-Binary Genders for Thousands of Years

It's nothing new.

Just because YOU weren’t able to make friends on Tik Tok doesn’t mean the rest of us didn’t create lasting friendships that transcend social media platforms. Attempts to cheapen or call these relationships fake just make me sad for you
