A woman could not have written Game of Thrones. I don't mean she wouldn't have been capable. I mean a woman writing about that much rape and incest wouldn't have been this globally revered as "realistic" and "dark" and would've instead been called a sexual deviant and her books fringe at best

Aren't bookstores and libraries the best? Like walking around a corridor with doors into countless worlds! They're pure magic! #AmReading

(Spoilers) Is anyone else a bit uncomfortable with the history given to the Air Nomads? The idea of them being past keepers of peace feels like it goes against the idea of the nations being equal and balanced Then having one of the oppressed 3 nations being oppressors in the past, idk #Aang #ATLA

I'm going to be honest at great personal risk. My favorite character in The Odyssey was the cyclops #odyssey #hottake #filmsky

A #Tiana live-action is both exciting & worrying. For too long, the 1st Black Disney princess* has been promised & denied a sequel. Will this come to fruition? But also, what impact is this film aiming for? Will Tiana receive a narrative focused on magic & whimsy? Or struggle & "reality"? #blacksky

There are books that demand to be read in the single bite of a night, and others you only sip like wine, then tuck safely back into the cellar of your bookshelf, saving them for a different section of your lifetime entirely. An aged surprise and promise for a future you #booksky #writingcommunity

PSA for the #Bafta situation: Sorry is such a powerful tool. It's NOT an admission of guilt or bad intentions. It's an acknowledgment that something you've done, even if it was out of your control and involuntary, caused harm in some way or contributed to a person feeling less than. #blackbooksky

Friendly reminder that if you write, you're a writer #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky #amquerying

Horrifying notes on #RealityCheck (Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model): 🚩 Tyra Banks using the times to excuse EVERYTHING 🚩 SA being dressed as a cheating scandal to young minds learning about consent 🚩 Black girls/women asking for help but having their autonomy shamed #ANTM #BHM

"Wait, how many unfinished stories do I have??" I've always beat myself up for being a writer whose unfinished/finished ratio is staggering. But projects are like a garden Some flowers bloom faster, some stay buds forever, but I'm glad I planted them all #booksky #writingcommunity #ao3 #artsky

HUNGER GAMES Characters who Deserve More Conversations: Are depictions of Black #HungerGames characters getting worse? From Thresh, Commander Paylor, Cinna & Rue ❤️ -> Dill, Reaper & Dr. Gaul? 🧐 The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes actors did amazing but the script raises a brow #booksky #blackbooksky

Dystopia has a kind of weird function in the world now. I know a lot of folks are bingeing romance and cozy (or cozy romance!) as a buffer against the world and I get it. I'm finding myself drawn to dystopia instead, because we need stories of hope against adversity too now, more than ever. #booksky
