Still healing from a “friendship heartbreak” and it sucks... had a performance tonight—another girl had her whole crew hyping her, filming, cheering. I felt so alone. Invisible and sad... but i’ll get back to being okay with being alone. I’ve done it before. I will again.

I keep meeting this fantastic womxn. Her work is incredible! A theatermaker + choreographer, and she is always so kind to me. We talk and laugh. We actually really like seeing each other. I worry that my creative hunger + desperation will outdo me and ruin this kindness. #creativehungerdiaries

Strength is what I need right now. My kid is in the salon, and watching her in pain is difficult.

One thing we can do to challenge systemic barriers in the publishing industry is throw our support behind Black and brown people in publishing.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Just finished watching Vampire Academy .' So interesting how political, power hungry it was. And you realise that is the world we live in. I also loved the normalisation of same sex relationships. No one was coming out or figuring out how to fit or not... I loved that...

I'm a Miriam Makeba, Otis Redding kinder ghel, but my 10 years have discovered rap. We listened to Tobe Nwigwe and Tume the volume from SA and a few songs by Kendrick Lamar.I think I'm worried about the use of language and content. Is there any ear-friendly yet thought-provoking rap?
