I love my best friend bad bad.
When I told her I was moving to Charlotte she was like, “well, I guess we’re moving, too.”
And i didn’t really believe her. Then the first time her and her husband came out here to visit, they bought a house.
What’s romance if it’s not that???
And then I asked my husband to build a new house in the same neighborhood they bought their house in. And now my best friend, my soulmate in this life, lives two blocks away and our kids can grow up together
Misogyny is a lot like racism… in that the ppl who uphold it will ALWAYS move the goal post.
There’s nothing any woman on this earth can do that will make a misogynist respect her or see her as human and equal to them.
When women have a bad baby dad males say she should have chosen better and been more selective. Now women are more selective with their wombs and it’s bad and society with crash.
One of those biracial kids with a white mama called my baby a monkey and then went crying to the teacher when he made a joke about her father leaving to get milk and never coming back.
Now I gotta go down to the schoolhouse and change my voice.
I can tell when a writer doesn’t read.
There’s a difference between good writing and storytelling.
You can have all the fancy words, proper grammar, etc and the story will still fall flat if you do not study the craft.
As Black women, as wives, single women, mothers - there is soooooo much value in keeping certain thoughts and points in our private circles.
Everyday a Black woman is getting tore down on this app for daring to show folks that she, too, is human.
Give them silence.
@writtenflair
😂😂😂 this is scarily close to how their conversation went and it’s similar to the one I had when I asked my husband to build in their neighborhood
@jcharywrites
Like!?!?!? Yo mama ain’t teach you stand firm, even in your bullshit???
Or you just thought you were going to get my son and trouble and let that be that?
Either way, now her mama gotta see me and put some mf explanations on the table.
No for real! I really wish Black journalists would’ve stepped up and done the same, but so many are committed to making sure that no matter what the outcome of this trial is, the world never sees Megan as a victim.
@Lilywritesspice
She probably thought she was gonna inherit her mama’s privilege and get a way with pointing fingers at innocent ppl.
Unfortunately for her, Zyon’s mama is Black. The big b, not the lil one. And absolutely with the shits
Why my neighbor’s sister just told me she called her wedding off because when I told her Joe checked all of my boxes, she realized her man didn’t check any?????????????

I stopped debating with them. Because until you know what it’s like to question the existence of your next meal and have every part of your life characterized by lack - they won’t understand. No child should ever have to endure that.
I want to write an anthology with other Black women writers of wives murdering their philandering husbands and getting away with it.
No, I do not need to be placed on an FBI watch list.
@jcharywrites
They only know about what zyon said because of course she didn’t tell on herself. Don’t worry - ima dig in somebody ass until we get to the bottom and the little girl knows not to say it again 🙃
@KryssyLaReina
I am with short courtships between people who are being transparent about their needs, wants, contributions, etc.
Courtships that aren’t just about the fuzzy feelings of being in love.
Courtships that explore what goes beyond that transient feeling.
My baby daddy’s girlfriend text me last night asking if it was okay to buy a PS5 for Zyon. I told her yeah and woke up with the new console on my doorstep?
let me find out he went and got himself a drug queenpin
I think I’m coming to the end of my time with Facebook book groups. I don’t even write urban fic, but censoring this genre specifically when all I ever see posted in these groups is the same 5 or 6 books is tacky and it’s giving anti-black.
@EarlGreyTea_pls
I hustled so hard with my first child. Adding that 2nd one really forced me to switch my perspective. I prioritize my time, my rest, my peace because if I don’t, I’ll crash out and be of zero use to them
@LenValyrian
This is exactly what it was when they called me and told me Zyon bullied somebody. I had to go up there and make them peel the layers back to get to the root
@DanieReads
Same. Assholes don’t do it for me. I can do a regular brooding misanthrope, but a man who is typically just a dick and super sweet and respectful to only the heroine? It’s not giving for me.
A Grammy insider says voters could go with ‘Encanto’ for Album Of The Year to avoid choosing between Beyoncé and Adele.
“I could see it being the thing someone votes for to avoid having to choose between Beyoncé and Adele.”
Believe it or not, ppl consistently ask childfree women about having kids, from work, to family, friends, to people trying to date you. I have adopted the practice of making everybody uncomfortable when it’s done to me but at least once a week I’m asked if I want/have kids.
It's "sexual liberation" until you married now it's "He shouldn't expect for me to sleep with him on a regular basis" nobody told you to wear yourself out in these streets to begin with, now you don't feel like it with the man you're supposed to spend the rest of your life with??
Periodically, I think about the time a guy I dated told me I was too masculine and then got irrationally outraged when I asked him why he liked me then.
Somebody likes it 💚
Took me 19 years to shake off my dad’s insistence that I “won’t make money as a writer.” I failed at a lot of shit and then when I went against his warning, all sorts of bags dropped into my lap. Dad lied. He projected and he lied.
A lot of adults are struggling to get started because of the ways their parents projected their desires, shortcomings& insecurities on their children. How could you continue that by not acknowledging them as individuals ?
Iono… I’m kinda offended that ppl who don’t write think that writing is easy and anybody can turn it into a stream of income.
Because the average person’s writing almost never has a main point or purpose.
It’s just their stream of consciousness on paper.
Overwhelmed with gratitude! 🌟 I published
