@Uber_Support uber created a safety report for me in error and i’m now being contacted by the police? the issue was my driver refused to turn on the heat. not sure how that warrants a safety incident. uber also has refunded me WAY more than the ride initially cost. please advise

the way i’m seeing black readers get chastised and trolled for expressing their upset over a book deal that got announced today, while the debut author, agent, and editor say nothing lets me know exactly how the plot of this book about privilege and whiteness is gonna go 🥱

@British_Airways hi, i’m genuinely concerned because you delayed my luggage and then the wrong bag was delivered to me and i would just like to speak to someone about what to do with it. thank you!

[Imani Gary @ImaniGary]

first @British_Airways loses my luggage. then they tell me they found it and it’s being delivered. then the delivery gets delayed. then, when the delivery FINALLY gets here, it’s not even my bag. and now they won’t answer the phone or respond to my emails. i’m so tired.

[Imani Gary @ImaniGary]

apparently it's been 2 years since i last logged onto twitter so a few updates:
- i left book publishing
- i got my own apartment
- i became a k-pop stan

that's it. that's all that happened in 2 years.

DREAM TEAM!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[Amber Oliver @Amber_Oliver007]

I can't believe this is real. I've been writing nearly my whole life but I never thought I'd really be an author. But now it's happening! I have a book deal. I'm so grateful! I feel so lucky I get to work with Chelcee and @gelrdrgz and publish with Ballantine. What a dream✨️

[Imani Gary @ImaniGary]

@_smromero this has sadly been on my mind ALOT, especially with that trend on TikTok of white women crying and then not crying on cue ☹️

BIPOC writers, if you're looking for craft & community, look no further than @kwelijournal's master classes & craft talks this summer! We're honored to work with phenomenal writers like Yiyun Li, @XochitltheG, @k_mingchang, @WanbliWeiden & @jaquiradiaz! https://t.co/eWAkcmNZZN

[Imani Gary @ImaniGary]

thinking about how the riverdale writers had the youth losing their minds over a character named “chick”

maybe it’s time i get back into that show...

[Felicity @FlossAus]

Also don't forget most authors have a very limited number of ARCs for their books. Try the publisher first and don't forget to read their FAQs about requesting, as most international requests need to go to the local publisher who has rights for the book in that market.

@hauntologically i miss you already
