I think UNO's black CWW grads are killing it. But, I'm probably biased. @CWWMFA @MauriceRuffin @jerichobrown @brywashing @nordettewrites

@suitofscales also, idk if you play rpgs or dnd or if you're interested, but if you're are, lemme know. i'll need some players eventually🙃

[Shaina Monet @shainamonet]

@suitofscales if you made any notes on the manuscript i sent you, i'm down to get them. if not, no worries. i've been just playing dnd and world building to DM for some theoretical dnd campaign that will prob never happen, so i'm not sweating it 🤓

[Shaina Monet @shainamonet]

@suitofscales i will! it's been living in the back of my mind like, "oh shit, i still haven't sent this back when i already made notes on them since forever. adhd/procrastination shame 😣

@suitofscales yayayayayay! i still never sent you the notes i made on the manuscript, which i enjoyed reading so much! i just need to find it, because i moved since then. though you prob don't really need them. congrats!! copious amounts of positive and belated energy in your direction :)

2. When I was a child in the 1940s, my mother would cut up slices of fruit for me (there wasn't much) and as she put it in front of me she would say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." How about, “A sonnet a day keeps the doctor away”? So...here we go: Sonnet 1.

CON: my congenital torticollis (wry neck) has been so bad for the last few weeks that i can hardly hold my arms above my head for longer than a few seconds. so, i haven't been able to wash my hair in a while.
PRO: i basically look like an anime character now.
