@jakebe@twitter.com @fiyahlitmag@twitter.com Thanks for joining in! As i have a fairly small footprint on here it can take awhile sometimes for people to notice and ask me for a subscription I’m giving away. Anyone seeing the thread here is welcome to come get one the ones I’m giving away. Still got both!
Who wants a free subscription to @fiyahlitmag@twitter.com? It features excellent speculative fiction from a Black lens. I'll also give away two subs to the first folks who ask.

@fiyahlitmag@twitter.com If you read short fiction and have $30 to spare then here's the ask: get yourself a subscription to @fiyahlitmag@twitter.com and get a gift subscription for someone else. Already subscribe? Get two to give away. I subscribe so I've got two to give away. To whoever asks. 2/2
This. THIS ALL DAY.

That shit is... exhausting.
To have to always change a racist's mind; to have to hope that being 'exceptional', to being almost superhuman, will one day change their minds but it's never on them to be better. They get to keep all that hateful energy but we gotta rise above.

“You’re black before you’re gay!” they say as they shun their BLACK gay children. Their own BLACK flesh and blood.
“You’re black before you’re gay!” They say ignoring the rampant homophobia/transphobia in BLACK communities that opressess BLACK lgbt people.

I think we're all about to be really shocked to see how flush the pockets of the various police departments are
You'd think they'd find some room in their billion-dollar budgets for non-violent conflict resolution but I guess those tanks and body armor won't buy themselves
RT @Muna_Mire@twitter.com
the NYPD's budget is actually mind boggling. the proposed billion dollar cut is a 16% cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIX! TEEN!

Psst. The world is a mess right now, and it’s tough to deal with.
But I’m an artist and a storyteller, and I still gotta create. I’ll be announcing a little project in the next few days. I hope it’ll be a pleasant distraction for folks. #PRIDE
Stay safe and stay tuned!

Exactly this. It's exhausting to be expected to show "strength of spirit" and forgive people who've hurt us, like an apology is a magic pass that immediately dissipates the impact of what they've done.
My spirit is weary. I get to choose where I spend my strength.

@jakebe@twitter.com yeah I really do not like the implication that people have an obligation to help him reform as if POC and lgbtq + people don't already have enough on their plates just fighting for their lives and way of lives that they can take time out to tutor a racist on not being awful

Every day, every time you speak, you are making a decision about where to use your voice
That decision matters just as much as what you say with it
