Okay what is this b👀k?
The book I’m writing is titled HOME OUT THERE. It’s about black queer people leaving home to find home. I weave my own experiences with biographical chapters about three black queer poet ancestors: Langston Hughes, Pauli Murray and Audre Lorde.

This place is morally superior to Twitter for reasons that don't need to be explained on here. But I think the sense that being here is a moral act in and of itself (it's not) gives a lot of people permission to lecture strangers about things that are dumb and also frankly none of their business
