1/ Happy Juneteenth! How a Texas emancipation commemoration spread across the US is an amazing story. But Juneteenth wasn’t the first Black Freedom Day in America—or the only one of its day. So, let’s talk about em’. Pictured: Martha Yates Jones and Pinkie V Yates, Houston Juneteenth, 1908 | HPL
Round 2, Part 2.
7/ Emancipation arrived unevenly. For Washington DC it was April 16 1862 through a bill signed by Lincoln. For Richmond VA it was April 3 1865 when Union troops took the city. For Texas, it was the arrival of Union forces in Galveston on June 19 1866 to enforce the Proclamation.

I’m hangry so it’s time to eat. Before I calm down though, I think it’s important to show up for Black folks all year long. Posting about Juneteenth because it’s trendy is not “doing the work.” Look at who you’re hiring, boosting, supporting the entire year because that’s your actual energy, Judy.
Now that StokerCon is over, I'm sharing my virtual reading from "The Serpent's Lair" featured in the recently released anthology Of Beasts & Bones. I hope you enjoy it! 🦴🖤💀

I'm an untrained artist designing merch that draws on niche pop culture mashups for queer pride, nerd humor, and agitprop for a better world being possible. This thread includes a sampling of my work, which you can find on stickers and shirts, pins, prints, and patches at willburrows.art/shop

Coming back to a genre that rejected you is tough. My thoughts on writing a new crime novel and deciding to never let myself feel locked out of the room again today.
