It is important to recognize that a homophobic bigot decided to take this man’s life. This talent is gone because of unjustified and irrational hatred.
Rest In Peace, Jonathan, and know your legacy is carried with love.
May the world change for the better, with peace for all.
Just accidentally texted my boss a picture of my toddler passed out in a pile of dirty laundry 😭
the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think
I just paid $19 to finish watching one of those damn Korean dramas that are chopped up into 2-minute segments and advertised on tiktok and fb and I DONT REGRET IT

This admin making a big show of importing white people while illegally snatching up brown faces off the street and throwing them out of the country sends a pretty clear message.

I read #TheWilloftheMany by #JamesIslington last year and it became an instant favorite—I recommend it to customers daily. I’m so excited to finally be able to read the #ARC for the sequel and can’t wait for it to come out so I can gush about it, too. I love my job! 👏🏾

A photo of ~100 members of the American Federal Government Employees union (AFGE) all wearing navy blue shirts with yellow letters saying "AFGE" standing on the steps of a court house. The caption reads "BREAKING NEWS: May 9th, 2025- U.S. District Judge Illston issues temporary restraining order (TRO) in American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO v. Trump! All RIF and reorg plans on hold until next hearing on May 22nd, 2025.
Some good news!!! A coalition of labor unions (including CDC's local union-AFGE), nonprofits and local govs sued Trump over the dismantling of HHS. The judge just issued a restraining order on all further firings and restructuring until the next hearing on May 22.
Thank you AFGE!!! 💚 💪🙌🎉💚
The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.
It sucks, but my surgery didn't happen. I've been rescheduled to next month, which means I now have a whole new set of problems and expenses. Details in my update below.
TL;DR: I'm in a tough spot. Please consider donating, boosting, &/or buying my work. Thanks!

I saw someone mention “To Shape a Dragon’s Breath” and second that notion. Highly recommend!
The media is not covering the protests against oligarchy that are occurring nationwide.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.
I’m feeling this too.
OCEAN'S 8 meets BLACK PANTHER THE SOA PITCH 13 yo Ida's first loyalty is to the Sisterhood of thieves she calls family. But when a trial heist goes wrong she's faced with a choice: betray her sisters to protect them or refuse and bring their death. #MG #mystery #scifi
COMPS Top photo: A picture of the Black Panther in his dark blue panther suit and the country of Wakanda behind him. Middle photo: A young girl called Carmen Sandiego. She's wearing a red winter coat, black gloves and pants. To the left side is the logo N. Bottom photo: The cover of Ocean's Eight movie with Sandra Bullock.
From top left to bottom right: A Black model wearing a metal jacket and shades. A cyber punk like city with neon colors and the silhouettes of seven people standing against it. A hacker's computer screen awaiting a passcode. An underground sci-fi train station with a slick train and neon lighting. The eye of a determined Black person. A screen covered in codes with a bracelet floating on it. A model wearing black biker gloves. The den of a hacker with multiple surveillance monitors on the wall. A Black girl wearing box braids pulled up in a slick bun.
Two Black girls stand in a silver lit corridor in front of a message board. One girl is in her night gown complete with a bonnet and smiling. The other is grinning uncomfortably and wearing a cat suit with light stripes. They are two main characters from the middle grade fiction The SOA written by Peace Zodanou and currently on sub to editors. art by Bemoodieart (Brittany Moodie)
Any #Editor out there in the mood for a fast-paced West African inspired middle grade fic? You get:
- Fearless thieves who care about the poor.
- Corrupted officials.
- Rehoming of stolen African artifacts.
- Sticking it to the colonizer.

This country wants poor people to die. They want them to suffer from treatable conditions. They are gleeful about it. And that’s why no one cares about an insurance CEO. This is their bed and they get to lie on it.
and they were lab partners 🤨 #jayvik #wip
Done! Hope you get lots of responses! 👏🏾
Too sweet! ✨
I’ve never really been interested in Lessons In Chemistry, but this special signed edition nearly got me 😍

I’ve been using Storygraph for months because I wanted to get off the Goodreads/Amazon bs. I had no idea it was Black woman owner! 🤯😍
My occasional reminder that audiobook lovers can support their local bookstores with a monthly subscription to @librofm.bsky.social. And #TheStoryGraph is an AMAZING Black woman owned app for your reading stats.
