It’s late, I’m resting before work tomorrow morning, it’s already Friday but there’s something important I must say:

The world works better when we’re all kinder to one another. Ask why people want the world to be broken, and why they think that would remotely benefit them in the long run.

Looking for a spooky read this season? Check out #TheWitchWolf!

3 witch sisters protect a magic forest, but complications arise when 2 of the sisters find themselves tangled in their affections for a pair of werewolves, the hypnotic charm of the head vampire, and devotion to their magical duty.

A poster of The Witch Wolf. Arrows point to the poster. It reads “Do You Like… Practical Magic, Interview with a Vampire, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Ginger Snaps, Charmed, The Craft, Crimson Peak, Doctor Sleep | Then you’ll like The Witch Wolf, a webcomic by Dani Carr & Bree Williams (and everyone’s queer!!!) | updates every full moon | thewitchwolf.org

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.
