This week’s Black Publishing History shoutout is for Virginia Hamilton! In 1975, for her YA novel M.C. Higgins, the Great was also the first book to ever sweep the Newbery, National Book, and Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards. An icon! #SerendipityLit #BlackPublishingHistory #BHM

Real tired of this free speech platform requiring me to be "John Green." I AM A SOCK COMPANY. Am I *also* a person? I guess. But PRIMARILY I am a company that sells socks to fund a maternity ward. And if I've learned anything from America, it's that companies are people, too.

take care of yourself, whatever that means to you. Try to get enough sleep and drink water. Take care of your wrists. Take days off. I used to burn myself out before realizing that when I take more care of myself, I’m personally more well and my writing is better for it.

Replying to @vinylfolklore @teartaylor
I just wonder how will these ppl carry this narrative once Reputation (TV) is released? Like, that album is almost exclusively about how much she is in love w Joe Alwyn. What are they going to say then? "Taylor is sick for loving Joe Alwyn so much"???? Lmao.
