Don't look at me. Yes, I want money. Octavia Butler herself wanted to make a lot of money from her writing. Who am I? I ain't trying to be better than the queen. I can't. So I too want lots of money. We have to learn from our most noble elders.
Has an African writer ever made big money from writing? Like big, properly wealthy money. Preferably one that isn't also British or American. Because those are usually situations of birth & not something one can replicate

lmfao after shouting “CONSENT” 50x on your stupid song? Fraudulent, talentless and pathetic. No matter how high you climb, you’ll always be empty and without substance. Nothing good can come out of you.

This is how I want people to respond when I make them playlists, send them my stories/poetry or anything else. Write me an essay, tell me how it changed your life (or not), I just want to know. 🥺
@Bamaeyii made me a playlist of beautiful music which they called europa. i don't take gestures like this for granted. so after listening, i wrote them a kind of an essay on the playlist. they enjoyed reading it & i am glad.

Uhm,as a 'creative,' I find it somewhat narrow-minded to confine 'creativity' solely to artistic or literary pursuits. Creativity is essentially the ability to generate new and innovative ideas, and I believe everyone possesses the ability to be creative in their own unique way.
As a creative , do you think you could date a non creative ??

Delegate. Outsource. Give it all away before burn out find you 🫵🏽
Delegate that thing. You’re not the only smart person on earth.

"I had been trying to be good for them, and to believe we were good for each other. I had been trying, and failing, to be everything: the mirror, the mirror image, the one punching through it. And the one sweeping up the shards."

I let myself believe that we felt the same defiance, the same degree of angry and powerless and omnipotent and free.

@dimiiitree I was gonna say I don’t think that’s what they meant and then I read the comments 💀 I was thinking like lifestyle wise 😭 like my issue with dating a non creative would be THEM not understanding my lifestyle choices because of said creativity.
