In case y'all wanna take things further the app 'No Thanks!' is a great resource for businesses globally to boycott due to their funding of the genocide in Palestine. I've used this app for a little over a year I think, and Disney been on the list.

I didn't even know it was Black speculative fiction month but I just finished Loving Safoa and it was so fun! Brilliantly written, reflective, leisurely and well crafted. I also didn't realise Stone and Steel was Neon Hemlock. Maybe I'll try and get to that this month too! #blackbooksky #booksky

For the Filipino readers overseas who are looking to support Filipino authors, I started compiling a list of titles that can be purchased internationally, and I'm always open to more recs! ☺️

Also looking for bookclubs and bookstores, as well as authors w/ Patreon, Ko-fi or Kickstarter. 💙📚 #BookSky

Since I'm going to be broke as a joke for a little while, I'd love to get some work. I'd love to do covers but I do fantasy maps and pinups too. Or if you just want to help out, here's how:

Storm from the X-men in a night sky with a lightning bolt striking her outstretched right hand.

The Marvel comics villain Taskmaster in the conspiracy wall meme pose. His wall has pictures of other Marvel characters and papers with items and subjects from the Marvel universe.

Four older women in their fifties stand menacingly on a staircase. The closest on the left is in a pink shirt and jeans, holding a gun. She has white hair, fair skin and green eyes.The woman on the right is of persian decent and is holding magical fire in her left hand. The next closest on is Black with a blue shirt and jeans. She's adjusting her glasses. The woman farthest away is grinning wildly up with an orange aura around her.

In a dark ominous cave three Black women adventurers walk along while a huge spider lurks behind them. The woman closest to the viewer is dressed like a warrior with a west African styled sword and purple, brown, and red outfit. She holds a lit torch. The woman in the middle is very short, wielding a large ornate axe and wearing furs and leathers. The woman to the rear is an elf, holding a glowing staff and in a blue gown with a collar that looks vaguely Egyptian. On the ceiling behind them the spider is brown and tarantula-like. The light shines off its many eyes.

Reading Rainbow emphasis is encouraging kids to read. The focus is not on teaching them to read. The mission is reading should be fun!

We are all readers, worthy of literacy. LeVar Burton said “but you don’t have to take my word for it” because he wanted us to look to the books. That’s the beauty 💚
