see folks, when bots with weird avatars follow you, it’s because they’re unhappy little guys with no spine or honesty who project full-time onto others the deepest truths about themselves. just observe with your clipboard and carry on.

Eek!! Top 20 finishes in less than 2 hours!! Full transparency here, that I have no clue how it works and if it's top 20 overall or each group-- so I'd kindly take another vote or two to be safe😅😅💜💜 thesupermom.org/2024/ryan-harb…
And please, I beg of you, if you absolutely know you’re not going to sign with the agent, cut them loose. Clearly being someone’s “safety” hurts. Let us go find new authors to sign and sub. We want you to be happy! But put us out of our misery. It’s only one internet.

Emil did such an incredible job bringing Omar and Yasmine to life! I am obsessed. Their writer-rivals to lovers dynamic was perfectly encapsulated here 📑🖤 can’t wait for y’all to someday meet these guys! 🤞🏽🇵🇰🇮🇳
@estywrites This used to happen to me all. the. time. Especially in Target for some reason. I wanted to be like, MA’AM/SIR, I AM WEARING NEITHER RED NOR KHAKI. I AM CLEARLY SHOPPING. ARE YOU DUMB?!
@SusanAn83221007 @estywrites It’s the fact that she approached a young black girl, and didn’t even acknowledge the other factors that clearly showed she was not an employee (such as the pajama pants). There was no reason for that woman to approach her daughter like that.
@SusanAn83221007 @estywrites When I approach ANYONE for help in a store, I make sure they’re wearing a uniform/ name tag got doing an obvious Job like restocking a shelf. This person did not do that. They approached a random person. Who was the Black person out of two people in the aisle. That is racism.
@estywrites Wow that makes me sick. And yeah, touching a child you don’t know is not ok either. Jeeez.
@estywrites I have friends (wife is white, husband is black) who tell stories of microaggressions; they are numerous and makes one's head spin.
@estywrites Oh wow. Wasn't sure what was going to happen when I went to your second post, but...wow. Hope you're both okay.
@estywrites Sorry your daughter had to experience that ❤️
@estywrites I was in a shop queue a while back, stood to the side to let others go before me as I had parcels to return. The cashier was having trouble processing a customer’s lottery ticket, so he turned & asked me to help her. I was like err how? Then realised he thought I worked there 😆
@FerfeLaBat @estywrites ….shut the whole fuck up.
@estywrites I’m so sorry you and your daughter had to go through that as well.
@estywrites As a woman of color, thank you for calling this out for what it is. The world doesn't listen to us anymore and it is incredibly frustrating to try to navigate this world in the most inoffensive, unobtrusive ways. To always be considered as less than. 💕
@estywrites that’s so horrible and honestly j absolutely disgusting - hope you both are ok!
@oldishbird1 @estywrites Since she’s 12 and clearly not an employee? Yes, I’d say that’s a perfectly fine reason to get mad.
@estywrites This happened to me once when I was 12 while visiting my married sister in TX (many years ago, at a Woolworth's) but it happened WAY more to my friends who weren't white. Like--constantly. Just bonkers.
@estywrites My nephew is half-Nigerian and we have seen these micro racisms since he was a baby. It’s heart breaking and sadly all so true.
@estywrites @Karenshea The fact she just immediately went to blocking. 😂
@estywrites This hits hard. I am an older white mother to now grown black females. When the oldest one was a toddler, people would assume she was my granddaughter. I have fielded many “crazy” and often inappropriate questions from white adults. Why?
