I first emailed my agent about the idea for Witchlings in 2018. Book one released in 2022, and today I started writing the fifth and final book of the series. I can’t believe it’s almost time to say goodbye to these characters 😭 #booksky

It is *so* difficult for marginalized authors to break into publishing let alone succeed (especially these days) We need all the encouragement and good news we can get, so I will keep posting about my accomplishments PROUDLY. I’m not policing my tone for anyone. Don’t like it, close your eyes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Me being proud of my accomplishments (which have been very hard won btw) has nothing to do with your own insecurities. I genuinely hope you find success and happiness but I won’t make myself smaller for your comfort. That’s your problem to solve.

Why don't you rub the salt in the wound harder love I don't hate people that are successful in life, genuinely love that for you, but this is so snobby and in your face it's so disrespectful

Shout out to the disabled community for always showing up, always being on the right side of history and justice, always willing to put their bodies on the line, all for the cause of making sure *everyone* has the basic dignity of health care.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

"Use AI or get left behind" ok, leave me behind, I'll be here in the library, doing actual research, citing real publications, writing my own words, not being replaceable by a bullshit artist algorithm that's destroying the environment.
