I truly believe reading the first three chapters of sunrise on the reaping help my Spotify library sound good again when it’s on shuffle.

There’s a caveat to this.
Indie authors HEAVILY rely on KU and Amazon to make their books accessible. Some people can’t sell directly and keep stock.
Bookstores don’t really or at all have indie books and ESPECIALLY by marginalised people.
I wish we would think about this #booksky #blackbooksky
A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.

I hate that feeling when you really want to play a video game but then you think about it for just a little too long and now it feels more like a chore than fun.

She was there before Elvis, Little Richard or Johnny Cash swiveled their hips and strummed their guitars. If you've never heard Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of rock 'n' roll, you should.

Amen. You might enjoy a book or not. You might disagree with the author but that's your choice. No one, no one should tell you what you can or can't read.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.
