i should say some things, huh?

romances require a happy ending but i'm SO liberal about what that could look like

Black romance requires Black authors AND Black characters

words mean things, friends. let's try to use them right

but Shakespeare didn't get to all the words, make some up

have fun!

I got to “honored to be your ancestor” and started sobbing. I don’t even know what to say. It’s cliche to say that someone was a light, but Alice was, in both the sense of being a warm glow to find your way home and bright sun to burn the fuck out of the unwary. I hope we can honor her legacy.

finally read this during the digital lockdown as the dictatorship rollout continued. i laughed out loud like i thought i would and cried more than i expected to. make sure to download your “break in case of emergency” books, you really never know when it’s coming

Sharing again for the day
Alright so here it is. I got the rent, the utilities and I just paid the car insurance but I ain’t got anything else. If you feel so kindly to pass me on anything to survive with (gas money for DoorDash, food to eat) it would be greatly appreciated.

The fact that they can’t even take safety tips that would ultimately benefit them from a Black woman shows that the white supremacy is too ingrained. If they were well meaning they’d just say “ok” or “good looking out”.
I'm really concerned that white people are just not up to the task. A lot of y'all are well meaning but you're just not up to the task because you've never been systematically oppressed and you refuse to listen to people who have been
