I went to visit The Printed Word, a Black owned indie bookstore in Portsmouth, VA and they had a solid collection of used books—
Found this copy of Plum Bun by Jessie Fauset from the Black Women Writers series @dem8z.bsky.social edited at Beacon Press from 1985-1993 😍

Throwback to when I assigned a comics annotation assignment in my Black Comics class last year and made the first spread of Riri Williams: Ironheart an option for their work

If you are excited about the Ironheart trailer, might I interest you in my epistolary YA novel Love in 280 Characters or Less which has a decent amount of Ironheart references? 🫶🏾

I am probably going to shout about this LEGO set forever! It was such a good, easy build, especially for beginners; only took an hour or so to finish; it’s the PERFECT size to use for a desk decoration; it looks SO GREAT; it’s a 3-in-1 set; and it’s $30 which is the affordable end for LEGO!

Figuring out my 2025 journal situation.
The small teal one to the left is going to become an address book. The navy floral will be my bullet journal for the first third or half of the year. The black floral will be my one-line-a-day 5 year journal.
