The New York Times is pointing out today what I pointed out yesterday, although I would argue that Black men aren’t fairing so well either 😒

An amazing night at Chevalier’s Books! It became a full Juneteenth celebration with specialty character themed cocktails, red velvet cake + 15% of proceeds of THE GREAT MANN went to help restore the historic Black neighborhood of Altadena that was ravaged by the fires. A standing-room
-only event!

Had a great conversation with Tanya Acker (of Hot Bench fame) on her podcast. As a minority you frequently find yourself loving the art & work of people who held no love for you. We get into that, using historical fiction to fight back against erasure & more 💙📚

Chevalier’s THE GREAT MANN event will double as a Juneteenth celebration/fundraiser for the Altadena Community Preservation Fund which is dedicated to the post-fire rebuilding of one of America’s most prominent/historic black communities. 15% of THE GREAT MANN book sales will go toward the cause

One of the pleasures of writing THE GREAT MANN was in revealing how the Black actors who were seen as subservient on screen were delightfully, subversive off screen 😎

These are a few of the 100s of books removed from the Naval Academy’s library following Pete Hegseth’s order

These are also a few of the ones allowed to remain.

This from the administration that says they’re warriors against antisemitism

#Booksky Be sure to raise a glass of champagne to celebrate the centennial anniversary of The Great Gatsby!

Gatsby, you may be 100, but you don’t look a second over Timeless

Wait, Trump and the white nationalist rapey guy he selected to be Secretary of Defense fired the black Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff and the 1st woman to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations?

I’m shocked

What I’m watching instead of the Inauguration mess.

Also, I think the elephant seals here in Big Sur are significantly better looking than anyone taking office today
