Late last night, @sarahweinman.com 's new book Without Consent popped up on my book machine and I haven't been able to put it down. All her books are amazing, but this one is required fucking reading in our current era when women's bodily autonomy is under renewed assault.

Will I see you at Black Book Bash?
This isn’t just a book festival — it’s where Black storytelling, culture, and community link up like they’ve known each other forever. If you’ve ever felt overlooked or underrepresented at the big-name festivals, this is your place!

My most important pro tip about surviving publishing: Have a sense of humor.
It has been instrumental in me surviving nine years, four books, two publishers...and still wanting to do this crap.

Started a scary but exciting new journey last week where I am betting on myself and writing full time for six months. Still trying to figure the work schedule out (thanks @vmburnsbooks.bsky.social for the hand holding) but this is today’s office.

The NYPD officer killed by the active shooter was an immigrant from Bangladesh. He had 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. The US State Dept travel advisory for Bangladesh is level 3; “Reconsider Travel” for violence, crime and terrorism. He died here, for us, shot with a Colt M4 rifle. Think about that.

Mariska Hargitay's #MyMomJayne is so good. Equal parts sad, funny, messy, and raw. My fave part though is when Mariska finally goes through her mother's stuff and realizes that Jayne cut her ex husbands out of the family photos.

I came on here just to block JD Vance and I must have signed up for some sort of block chain that added him because he's already blocked. I do wish I could have had the satisfaction of actually blocking him though. lol
