I often teach Pauline Hopkins’s work. Her novels have recently been republished by @broadviewpress.bsky.social so hopefully they will reach even wider audiences. She also wrote a ghost story!
Science fiction written by black women goes back to the 19th and early 20th. centuries!

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).
