This collection of scifi-fantasy shorts contain space unicorns, mermaids, interstellar travel, fairytale retellings, and black girl magic!

If any of those are your jam, consider picking it up! (Ebook's also on Amazon!)

@MiamiPDScanner @QasimRashid Racist police.
Color me surprised.

@peytonology Thank you so much for this! I'm doing research on Alcott myself and was super excited when I stumbled upon the book on Project Gutenberg, but it's the one edited by Cheney. I can only find Cheney's edition elsewhere. Where can I find the fuller archive?

@FountainPenDiva Oh lol
That's what my TikTok is for

[Jasmine Shea Townsend @BGBFS]

Twitter.

Not a single other app makes me feel as alone and invisible as this one does.

[Jasmine Shea Townsend @BGBFS]

@FountainPenDiva @EmilyMAuthor Haha that's fair~
I just assumed I wouldn't be missed, really~

[Jasmine Shea Townsend @BGBFS]

@EmilyMAuthor I met one of my best friends here, when I posted eons ago asking for help with writing a believable grad student in music school.

I mainly follow other writers, but it really seems like nothing I do on this app matters lol. It's why I left the first time.

Posted a couple questions in a Free Emotional Labor group abt representation, for 1 of my characters.

It's a large group so my post probs got buried.

So if anyone is willing to help~

One of my characters is Filipino and I just want to make sure I'm writing her well 🥺👉🏾👈🏾

I saw a white person refer to herself as a "flour child" once and I've been thinking about it since.

[Jasmine Shea Townsend @BGBFS]

@iamscarlettwest Same!
I'm friends with the girl who started it as well! The internet is a small world sometimes ☺️

[Jasmine Shea Townsend @BGBFS]

My eyes watered a little when I read this because I was that little black girl who never saw herself represented in elves, fairies, or princesses.

Representation matters so much.

🗣🗣 More dark-skinned, Afrocentric elves, fairies, and princesses

31,125 words written so far in my space pirates manuscript. 💕

Yesterday my darling bought me a bouquet of flowers & made us a quiche for breakfast (the best I've ever had in my life 💕) and lasagna for dinner (I had to stop myself - it was so good 😩).
Not for the first time & certainly not for the last, I wonder how on Earth I got so lucky

[Jasmine Shea Townsend @BGBFS]

Anyway~

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays, and these are the valentines I'm sending out to my friends. 💕🥺👉🏾👈🏾

@WSJ @Kris_Frieswick “It’s not your choice what I do with my shoes”

Cool proud of you or whatever -- get the fuck out of my house.

With your nasty ass shoes.

Always pink, purple, horror, fantasy and original characters 🫂☁️💜 I'm posting this at 8 am so nobody sees half of my face lmao. I'm proud of this year journey, with Correo de Zorro and focusing on fantasy, it feels like I found my niche. Hope to continue this way.

So I told him I was tweeting this, and he amended the statement: "Okay, you're the straightest non-asshole I've ever met."

[Jasmine Shea Townsend @BGBFS]

My boyfriend said to me, "You're the straightest person I've ever met. I've never met anyone as straight as you."

Damn.

He didn't have to roast me like that, y'all.
