How Things Work @Chemistryvid
To defend against wasps, bees create a defense wave known as shimmering. Participating bees need to respond with perfect timing when it's their turn to shimmer. It’s unclear why wasps are intimidated by shimmering, pic.twitter.com/wCSGYG0zntSomeone feature this gloriously strange bee fact in a novel! It seems like something straight out of science fiction. #MSWL

I'm binge-watching #Outerbanks this week, and would LOVE LOVE LOVE a YA mystery / adventure featuring a diverse group of friends and of course, heaps of romance. #mswl

The first enemies-to-lovers was Epic of Gilgamesh, 1800 BC out of Mesopotamia. The next person who claims a YA white person invented the trope will have dishonor on their family and cow.CORRECT, AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY YA RETELLING, OK? #mswl

It is more radical to publish Black joy than it is to publish Black trauma, pass it on.Top of my wish list for manuscript acquisitions (and freelance jobs) are romantic comedies by #ownvoices authors featuring BIPOC protagonists who make each other laugh.

Publishing is an industry that has always had the power to amplify Black voices and we need to do better. I want to do better. Agents, please keep me in mind when you sign up some these stellar and important voices because I want to hear them.
