Beginner tip: marry a blacksmith for free swords.

Pro tip: marry many blacksmiths and get a whole poly-armory

Fixed it.

I'm a bit late on this, but my story, "The Observation Log of Ms. Grace McKillip, Retired" is now available free on the Brick Moon Fiction podcast.

The narrator, Sarah Golding, did a brilliant job of bringing my characters to life, resulting in a really special piece of work between the two of us.

I got to host the first stop on the #Fantasy Twists anthology blog tour. Grandmother was good enough to stop by and share her take on the Girl and the Wolf.

Thanks @Nezchan for participating.

Taking on blackface in any form means taking on a persona. It is assuming blackness that you can remove whenever the hell you want.

We are not costumes. We aren't things that you can try on for street credit and to be cool and to be edgy. We are human beings, and dressing up as us is hurtful.

Regardless of intention.

Even if you think we're cool, it's a form of exotification.

Don't do blackface. Nope. Nah.

Why is it bad?

Black people have been oppressed, denied jobs, subjected to a lot of violence because of these things. We get kicked out of school because of how our hair grows naturally. We get marketed skin lightening creams. Everybody globally tells us we're ugly.

We cannot clean off our dark skin at the end of the day.

We cannot change our DNA and we shouldn't have to.
