I feel like this paragraph from my book is pretty appropriate for today.

Good morning. You are still here. Do something kind for someone you love today--and if you can, for someone else in your community, even if they're a stranger. We're in this together. ❤️

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?

My loves, if you find today or any day difficult for you, I find there can be comfort in Tolkien’s words.
While some times may be terrifying, infuriating, or devastating, it is never hopeless.

My fiercest belief is also a theme that informs all of my writing and can be an act of rebellion in dark times: they may try, but nobody, and I mean nobody, can tell you who or what you really are.

Even though most of us will probably never lead the charge, we all have a vital role to play in this battle before us.

Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩
Thanks for stopping by 💃

I went to a throwback party event in Brooklyn where the DJ had the nerve to play Glorilla and Megan.
Don’t get me wrong, I love BOTH, but they weren’t rapping in the 80s and 90s?! 😭

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
