There's a lot going on right now in the US and the world that is disheartening and scary. Added to our personal stresses, it can feel like too much. So, I have 2 reminders:
1. For every scary thing happening, there are people committing everyday acts of bravery trying to stop them. 1/3

Instead of seeing myself as some kind of home improvement project, I'm learning to see myself simply as my home. I've hated myself for too long and tried too hard to be perfect when all I really needed was to see that I'm already enough. 💜

Please read the original thread. This is a nightmare for authors.
So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.
Please read and share this thread.

Reposting this one. We're all going to have to do what we can to fight for the world we want. Maybe that looks like spreading love and hope. Maybe that looks like community action. Maybe that looks like something different. However we show up, we need to keep showing up. #poetsky #resist

The importance of community can not be overstated.
Everything is a million times harder when you're going through it alone.
That's why I'm trying to foster a greater sense of community across my social media spaces, especially for those living with invisible illness of any kind.

All our smaller bills are paid, and we are okay on food, but we need help with rent. We still owe 600 for May. I'm not expecting to crowdfund that much, but everything helps right now. My poetry book, I Will Rise, and a piece of flash fiction are both available as pay what you can. 💜 #mutualaid

I've been continuing my daily microfiction challenge to help work my creative muscle again 💪 This one is more #paranormal than #horror in my opinion. My friend said it filled her with sadness. What do you think?

Making graphics out of my favorite lyrics is just something I do to keep myself happy. Doing things for no real purpose beyond that feels like a nice break. 💙
