I am so excited to announce that SEVEN LEGENDARY MONSTERS will be published by
@revolt_twt
next year!
At last, Paraguayan lore and legend will be brought to the world stage 🇵🇾 There are no words for how much this means to me.
Thank you. Gracias. Aguije.
TW: Abuse
I have seen a number of posts defending JH because he was “clearly communicating his boundaries.” Let me share my story with you.
I dated a guy for 3 years who slowly stripped away my freedoms in exchange for “compromise” and “boundaries.”
Before I knew it, I…
of abuse is insidious. It seems reasonable at first, but the balance of power slowly shifts until one person is controlling the other’s every move.
JH’s case is not unique, but it’s blatantly obvious to anyone who has ever been in this kind of relationship what this truly is.
wasn’t allowed to work a certain job, stay out past a certain time, spend time with male friends, or even go out with female friends who he didn’t like.
We would fight about things I did that he saw as “inappropriate,” but because he was able to clearly communicate in what
seemed like a reasonable way, I would give in. Little by little he removed anyone from my life that would oppose him. I lost all my friends. I became afraid to leave the house. He became my whole world. I had no support outside of him, which is why I stayed so long.
This kind…
I was stalked, doxxed, harassed and threatened by a serial abuser on this app. He posted photos and maps of my mother’s house and my apartment and threatened to kill me and other women on here. I have a folder with over 200 screenshots of his abuse.
MUTING ISN’T ENOUGH.
Just heard that Tomie DePaola passed today! He blessed young readers with so many beautiful stories. I remember reading Strega Nona over and over and over as a child. RIP Tomie. You will be missed, but your stories will live on forever.

This is adorable, but also why it is so important to understand child development as a teacher. Until the age of 7 a child’s hands aren’t fully formed and forcing them to write too much too early can actually hurt them. But do schools listen? Nope. 🙄
Besides writing, share a photo of one of your other hobbies/ fun things you enjoy doing.
I love baking! Can’t wait for apple season so I can make my famous Owl-pple Pie!
I’ve gained quite a few followers in the last few weeks, so allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Clara Elena, a Paraguayan-born poet and musician living in NY. I love all things fantasy and nerdy, and I post a lot of cat pics (you’ve been warned). Thank you for following me! ✨
I am thrilled to announce that I have officially signed with
@valparaisoed
to publish my debut poetry collection!
My book will be available for purchase in bookstores in Spain, Mexico and Colombia as well as through several online retailers in 2023.
I’ve been working so long on my latest books that it’s been months since I’ve reread my first one.
It always takes me by surprise that I’ve written these words. Like some kind of writing amnesia. Does that happen to anyone else?
Awww adorable. Now he’s trying to insult me by comparing me to the amazing Elaine Miles from Northern Exposure. Jokes on you! I’m actually not insulted. I’m proud to be indigenous and proud to be compared to such an amazing actress 💜
Ok everyone. I’m safe and law enforcement has been contacted. Thank you so much for your support.
I am going to continue to keep my account locked for the protection of myself and my family for the time being, but I’m still here. Not going anywhere.
Love you all. 🖤
As a gun violence survivor, days like today are particularly triggering. I might not be around as much for a little bit.
Love y’all. Hug your babies close.
I just realized why I like this
#NewProfilePicture
so much. I think it really highlights my
#indigenous
roots, which don’t always shine through in other pictures.
I don’t talk about it much, but I’m proud to be of Guaraní descent! 🪶
Guys I don’t talk about this a lot, but I was in a school shooting incident 7 years ago and I still have PTSD from it. Not to take away from today’s horror in any way, but can u plz leave me some cute pics in the comments? I am shaking.
Gah my feed is all accounts I don’t follow. I think I’m gonna have to make a list to keep track of my friends on here 😭 Anyone else having this problem?
I just negotiated a major raise for myself and my staff, effective immediately! This is a reminder to advocate for yourself- if you don’t try, you might never know what is possible 🙌🏽

So fucking true. Last week a kitchen tool broke and hubs got mad and raised his voice (not at me- at the stupid appliance). It spooked me for a few days until we finally talked about it and he apologized for not realizing it had triggered me.
