Inspiring story of @jocelynjohnson publishing her first book at 50 and getting a Netflix movie! Gives all of us first-time authors hope :) Looking forward to reading her book.

[Sumu Tasib @SumuTasib]

@LeesaCrossSmith Aw, you're most welcome! I've been carrying your book around as I've been reading it and have already convinced three other friends to get it (once I post to goodreads I expect several more). I hope people do the same with my book :)

Just finished @LeesaCrossSmith 's brilliant "So We Can Glow." Such an brilliant collection of stories told with the breath of poetry and poems that expand into stories, with a beautiful depth of perspective. I hope that I may write so well someday; no wonder @rgay endorsed it!

@oinkers4niki I love it!!

I loved this piece by @TatumLindquist : "I live by the belief that my assigned sex at birth does not limit the ways in which gender and its expression live through me." Word. https://t.co/yeSnP5kgJa

"The industry has long operated on the idea that divvying up products into two categories based on a binary understanding of gender is easier. But you have to wonder, this system is easier for whom?" https://t.co/QmwvBSNq66

Waking up to some unexpected but welcome news: I’m apparently a top writer in LGBTQ on Medium! https://t.co/g37PVfnCq3

Well I'm sure this won't last, but even being on the same list as @mPinoe is such an honor! (I'm #31, at least for today :)).

Today, while reading Lindy West's FABULOUS new book, "The Witches are Coming," I learned that two of my favorite authors, Lindy West and @IjeomaOluo , are sisters-in-law! Squeeeee!!!!

2020 has been the deadliest recent year for the trans community. 29 murders so far. 76% were Black transgender women despite Black people being only 16% of the transgender population. #TDOR #BlackTransLivesMatter https://t.co/oaSjonNvLV

Honoring the 2020 Transgender Day of Remembrance, and all the innocent trans lives we have lost to violence. #TDOR
