I’m not ready to let Halloween go, so here’s a shoutout to the Black musicians in “Little Shop of Horrors”! Not a traditional Halloween movie, BUT a great horror-comedy with amazing Black talent: Tichina Arnold, Michelle Weeks, Tisha Campbell, AND Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops. #BlackHorror #Motown

This is the most Louisiana front page I’ve seen in a minute 🤦🏽‍♀️ #Louisiana #NewOrleans

Using my free will to write Black, queer, southern horror stories and LOVING it 💅🏽 This is the first draft of my first attempt at a longer project - wish me luck? 👻 🔪 #HorrorSky #WriterSky #BlackWriters #QueerWriters

This is how to kidnap me. If anybody was wondering. It’s HOT, y’all! #NewOrleans #ClimateChange

Okay well my dad’s ghost lives in this locket & he said you have a brain for a reason & you should use that instead. He never had a cell phone or learned to use a computer. He is AI’s final boss. Don’t make me let him out. #AI #BlackSky #WriterSky

Gambit, cont.: “Knox’s bill, House Bill 619, would also give private citizens and businesses like his Backatown Coffee shop the ability to compel the city to enforce the law.”

This is disappointing and absolutely disgusting. From the Gambit: “Living on the street or in other public spaces would be banned in almost any situation under a new bill authored by New Orleans Democratic Rep. Alonzo Knox [owner of Backatown Coffee].” #NewOrleans #Local #CommunityCare

I’m SO excited for #SinnersMovie coming out next week! Ryan Coogler talking about the film they shot it on was fascinating.

To say nothing of Emmett Till, Cynthia Wesley, Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and many more CHILDREN who were murdered in acts of racist violence.

This is so wild, especially given the LONG history of Black children on the front lines of both racialized violence AND civil rights protests. In 1963, young people in Birmingham, AL organized and marched in the Children’s Crusade. Many of them were assaulted by police and arrested. #HandsOff

I saw #TheWomanInTheYard last night and wasn’t a huge fan, but I had fun dressing up and scaring people 😈 I’m writing about why the movie frustrated me on Black Horrific next week! And y’all let me know what you think. #HorrorSky #HorrorMovies

My hot take about Heretic: the story would have a lot more power if Mr. Reed were a church elder or just a Christian man. Making him an occultist/atheist seems like a cheap shot. Christian men do more harm than atheists. Atheists want Christians to leave them alone. #HorrorSky #HorrorMovie #Heretic

I found one of my favorite childhood books at the Community Book Center! Plus this really exciting compilation of Black Gulf Coast folktales collected by Thee Zora Neale Hurston. AND they have a shop cat!!! If you’re in New Orleans, go support them 💜 #BlackNewOrleans #BlackBookSky #BlackHistory

My city got the most snow we’ve had since 1895 and it’s colder in Louisiana than in Anchorage, AK but people want to talk about how climate change isn’t real 😭 #BlackNewOrleans #SneauxDay #NewOrleansHistory #BlackWriters

I’m so glad I got to see friends I love, and at the same time, I’m always happy to come home to my city. I love New Orleans. I love Louisiana. I’m working on getting better so I can do more for my people. 💜 #BlackSky #NewOrleans #BlackNewOrleans #BlackLouisiana #ComingHome #BlackHistory

Okay listen. I’m seriously burnt out & I hate Christmas. It’s Goblin Time for the rest of the year. First Goblin Time tactic (not rule): Care for the Lair. Make your space work for you - accommodate yourself & decorate/organize accordingly 🖤 #Neurodiversity #Burnout #ADHD #LifeHack #PSA

Life Hack 🪓: Go to a rage experience at a queer/trans-owned urban farm and release some of your divine fury! It feels GREAT 🤌🏽 15/10, cannot recommend highly enough 🖤

There once was a girl from Nantucket
Who carried a head in a bucket
A man had his way
So she made him pay
And into her bed she would tuck it 💅🏽
(My lawyer says this is not a confession)

Yvette when I’m in my designated Daytime Spot (desk by the window) and writing scary stories but still displeasing her somehow.

My lawyer told me not to tell you this, but she’s asleep on the job: make space for historically excluded people to tell their own stories. It’s okay to be quiet and repost trans people today. Or advocate for us in-person! Much love to my trans siblings 💕 #QueerSky #Nonbinary #TransDayOfRemembrance

Our pasts and our choices and the lives of the people we love haunt us, and it’s dangerous to ignore those histories. “Excited” might be the wrong word for starting this book, but I feel fortunate to exist at the same time as “Beloved.” #BlackSky #BookSky #BlackAuthors #BlackHistory #BlackHorror

I finished Chapter Two of this amazing book at 4:00 this morning! So yt women have a LONG history of using U.S. legal systems to protect their authority over Black people AND the courts have a long, documented record of showing up for them. Shocking 🙃 #BlackSky #BlackHistory #BookSky #BlackWomen

I got 4 hours of sleep and my lawyer (Yvette, the cat) said I’m not allowed to go to work without more caffeine. Also, doing cartomancy at 3:30 a.m. is…interesting.
