EYE think a few things can be true at once here. Should students be taught how to dress for professional events and interviews? Yes. Should the school create environments where that can happen? Yes. Now… should a bonnet or durag to CLASS be this controversial? I think, no lol. It’s no big deal.
Apparently, a recent downside to looking for personal loans is that one of those companies gives your phone number out to spammers. I get at least 3 calls a day, often the same person with a different number.

Back to the grant: the juror who denied my book in 2022 said it is appropriate for a young adult fantasy audience but could be more BAROQUE, perhaps. The short, sharp sentences left him wanting more detail... But you literally said it was for the target audience, of which he is not. 🫠 #authorsky

Hey y'all! We're back with a look at Prism's Y2K Sci-Fi environment and the inspiration behind it. #indiedev #scifiart #conceptart
The Delaware Division of Arts sent out their grant submission email again, and I don't know if I want to try a fourth time...The judge's comments are always very frustrating, especially when they're not even the key demographic of the book. #booksky #indieauthorsky #blackauthorsky
Looking to speak with any Black folks in New Mexico, Arizona, Missouri, Maryland, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Washington, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, or Colorado (whew) who have had their Medicaid or SNAP benefits abruptly canceled! (I’m writing about how AI systems are denying benefits)
Catching up on The Tonight Show. Phoebe Bridgers sang "Lost Boys" with a band of the cutest kids and then came back the next night and sang the acoustic version with a band of old men. That's some next level genius right there.
I've been looking over my glasses to see my phone more clearly.

Here is a comprehensive but not extensive list of names in my book, so you know how to pronounce them when you see them! (Some of them look obvious, but you would be surprised.) #booksky #authorsky #indieauthorsky #yafantasy #blackauthorsky
Grateful to open my email to see a royalty payment coming in! Hopefully more people get eyes on FP...Which of course means I have to promote it better. 😅 #booksky #indieauthorsky #authorsky #blackauthorsky

So, let me get this straight...Day 1, Project Runway had 22 designers and cut 6...Then Day 2, they cut 5...So, they go down to 11... So, what was the point of bringing those 11 people just to cut them in 2 days when you normally start with 12 anyway!?

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
