I’m so flattered by this critique of the first page of my YA speculative novel. 🤓 Thank you! #RevPit

Super strong opening! Balance of internal + external to keep up the tension + set the tone in what could have been a very stagnant opening

Dear Manager, last week I:
1. Woke up in the morning
2. Stepped outside
3. Took a deep breath
4. Got real high
5. Screamed from the top of my lungs, WHAT’S GOING ON

Dear Manager, last week I:
1. Got the ways and means to New Orleans
2. Went down by the river where it's warm and green
3. Had a drink
4. Walked around
5. Got a lot to think about

The first people targeted by fascist are always queer people, the disabled, and racial minorities. And it never stops there.
There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

There’s a lot to love about Heather Cox Richardson, but the way she pronounces DOGE like “doggie” is ✨chef’s kiss✨ .

Rock and roll was created by a Black woman — Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
Known as the Godmother of Rock and Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who served as inspiration for artists like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. We honor her as we still feel her influence today.
