Art and writing is a form of protest. It is a form of empowerment. It is part of being human.

That is why you write when the world is on fire.

But the bigger reason that you should write and make art, is that your work is someone else's respite.

You don't know who they are. They may be someone in the future. But if you have escaped into a book, or a painting, or a TV show... Someone created that.

You can do that for someone else.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.

Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

In the immortal words of Toni Morrison, this is a distraction. Time and resources could’ve been better spent…

She was doing so well on booktube, I don't know who told her we missed her trippin on those vocals 🥴. She should've just focused on completing one of her fiction books and get published.

What are the chances this trash is happening because Joe Daymond is organically going viral while experiencing Black culture here in the US?

I think a lot of us millennials & older really take it for granted that we were the last of only a couple generations where there was an all-encompassing campaign to encourage literacy. Everyone used to agree upon it. There were commercials with your favorite celebrities just being like, "READ!"

My wild guess based on observation/experience:

The grace we give others usually is not the grace we give ourselves. A person feels they need to be “perfect” to be liked, and all of the marketing mind games have done a number to convince us of this even though we like/love these things on others.
Why do we be liking bellies on other niggas but not on ourselves 😕
