In Central Park, on a rock under a pine tree, bird watching littles around me. After spending time talking to & petting a horse who walked onto my course. Before being offered & accepting a free bike ride to the other side. Exulting in finishing 30 mins final audiobook edits 😊

What does it mean to be an authentic artist in the time of end stage capitalism? It means to be aware of the machine. It’s operations, iterations, and its effects. To write and fight outside of its tentacles. To recall your who and your why. And to not absorb the lie.

You know the truth by the way you feel. The body never lies, nor long permits denial.

Friend does bring yuh—to zesser fetes 😬🤦🏾‍♀️😄🙃—and doh bring yuh back. Lawd. The cultural anthropology of this event.

‘Leaving was not a decision I made suddenly; estrangement originated with abandonment & abuse during my childhood, behavior I refused to accept in adulthood. These articles offered solidarity.’ Great list of essays on estrangement by @AnesceDremen longreads.com/2025/07/03/est…

That same display of violence to another adult would be considered domestic abuse but when its to a small, defenceless child it’s called….? Suddenly it has no name. Imagine that

Reading a book wherein the author’s anti-colonialism & anti-misogyny intruding in the heavy, too-much-telling exposition of a male character’s POV. Writers need to let awful characters be awful. Let the reader discover and dislike. Avoid didacticism, please. Is always this press

The “male loneliness epidemic” 🙄 is directly correlated to literary illiteracy.

The book has agency, I does always say. And it continues to fill me with awe how it chooses its own people for interviews and connections. The right ones. My Caribbean people, what a joy it is to have the work find its way home 🏡💛
