Time for #Encanto ! Image
It only makes sense for Maribel to become an author. 😩 #Encanto
I was not emotionally prepared for this at all. #Encanto 😬
They animated the fine hairs on Luisa’s back. 😍 #Encanto
This is not a childrens movie. This is for Gen X and Millennials who were bad at sports and have been to therapy. #Encanto
For very personal reasons I don’t know if I should have watched this. I identify with Bruno a little too much. 😩 #Encanto
Sometimes family weirdos just get a bad rap. 😩😩😩😩 #Encanto
Fucking hell, Grandma. Way harsh. #Encanto
I was a little nervous this was a little close to something I’m repitching next year, but we’re good. 😂 #Encanto
Well that was amazing. #Encanto

For those who want more context for how wrong Gaby Dunn is. There were a couple adult romance imprints who were putting out romance about Gay men written mostly by cis women. A lot these stories were fetishizing and racist. One publisher also just stopped paying their authors.
There was a concern that Gay men were being shut out of adult romance publishing. YA publish seems to be heading in a great direction with #ownvoices rep re race, gender and sexuality. Adult romance is still lagging in queer rep. Again this is about harmful rep. Not who is out.
When Love Simon came out I think people were nervous that YA romance was going to repeat the same pattern of shutting gay men out. Again, that's not happening. So Gaby's point is not only shitty, it's kinda incorrect.

#LovecraftCountry first thing in the morning seems like a good idea.
This episode is so much fun and still terrifying. #LovecraftCountry
I’d love to hear @MishaGreen talk about episode 4. I love this combo of horror and adventure. #LovecraftCountry

Gonna eat lunch and start #LoveGuaranteed
This features a lady lawyer so I feel like 98% of romancelandia should be on top of this. #LoveGuaranteed
She helped an injured Black man pro-bono. She's a good egg. ( I dont know her name yet) #LoveGuaranteed

Just gonna throw this out there because I am not white. It’s called being socially responsible. Do I need to write a 5 page monologue on BLM in my erotic rom com? No. Do I need to make sure there is a moral compass in my books to show readers that I give a fuck? Yeah.
All manner of things can happen in any kind of story, BUT if you do introduce bigotry it is your job as a writer to say, inside the narrative, this is wrong and my main characters know this is wrong. Falling for a slave owner kinda misses that point by miles.
Btw I have fucked up and been called out for bad rep that I thought was good early in my career and I was grateful for it. I did make a mistake and I learned what those mistakes can mean to readers. You learn, you grow. You don’t thread for 2 whole days.

Okay imma tweet about my experience maintaining friendships as an adult.
TW : for emotional abuse and gaslighting
So I’ll preface this by saying a few things. I’m chunky, queer and Black. These things frame how I move through the world so what applies to me in some instances might now apply to you, but I’ll try to be more general.
I’ll also preface this by saying that I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for 14 years with person who hated most of my friends and tried to isolate me from them. HE DIDNT WIN, DID YA BITCH?!?

This guardian piece is very well done. Recommended reading today.
2 things stuck out to me here and they are connected to the centering of whiteness. 1/
theguardian.com/books/2019/apr…
First is this idea that the solution to all of this is courting white readers. This extends beyond this piece to centering cis het able bodied readers. The marketing strategy focuses so strongly on pockets of bigoted white people it literally ignores the rest of the planet. 2/
Saying we can’t sell to this specific subset of white people enforces the idea that other people, specifically non White people don’t read. If that’s not a narrow view idk what is 3/
