Resharing this post on Juneteenth because well, I’m a Black woman who is trying to open a romance bookstore here in Portland, Oregon. We’ve been opened for seven months and it has brought me a whole lot of joy. I hope that you’ll consider sharing and/or donating ✨

As Chicago feels record breaking heat this week, we remind everyone that our store has air conditioning, water, a public restroom, free masks and comfortable places to sit for anyone who needs a break from the heat. Open 11-7, Mon-Fri! Stay cool and safe.

It's our honor to publish this translation of “I Grant You Refuge” by Palestinian poet, novelist, and teacher Hiba Abu Nada. Written October 10th, it is among the last pieces she composed before she was martyred by an Israeli airstrike on October 20th.

a month before the announcement of his historic @Eagles contract, I was in Philly with @JalenHurts for @essence 🏈 "I always knew what I’d be," Hurts told me over honeyed coffee. "I never knew how I’d get there, but I always knew what I wanted.” #NFL https://t.co/BWZc6uESdA 🔆
