I reviewed this amazing middle grade novel about a girl who learns she's autistic by a neurodivergent author. I connected with it so much I cried all over my work desk. It also allowed me to see that I could be autistic and I plan on talking to my therapist. Such a stunning work
Here's my @leafletDOTpub "Substrates" where I share what seems like discards from my hoard and how they can be used for storytelling. I hope you enjoy it and ler me know what you think. Please try out Leaflet, it's funner & smoother than google docs ๐ฑ๐ป

People confuse fear with respect. Fear of God, fear of parents, fear of authority- weโre taught it is appropriate to be scared and apprehensive. I never understood that. Why would I fear someone who loves me? Who has my best interests in mind? & why is my boyfriend an authority?
The survey is great & illuminating. I'm excited for the interview and you can be anonymous. You can also request a video, audio, or just a transcript of your interview. You also get the questions ahead of time and don't have to answer them all. I'll let you know how it goes.

@czaerra The Temperature of This Water by Ishle Yi Park is a fantastic work detailing her love life and family, along with community. It's a stunning, vulnerable, and moving read

When @itsmelktea said during their conversation with @fannychoir that organizers make the best poets, I automatically thought of @xtian_as. Can't wait to read your book and livetweet your reading!
What a wonderful flyer! I'll be there to livetweet my first in-person event in at least three years! Join us in Brooklyn and consider giving BIPOC books to Playground Coffee Shop's free little library.
