Already a harder day than it should be, but happy pub day to me. Thanks to everyone that’s helped spread the word about it. I hope this book finds as many people as possible.

So many amazing Black and Brown women wrote for Jezebel; there was nothing like it for YEARS.

S/o to Anna Holmes, 𝚍𝚘𝚍𝚊𝚒 𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚝, Clover Hope, and so many other BW i can’t remember off top

Here’s a tribute worth reading [gift link]: nytimes.com/2023/05/03/opi…

I’m a weird too-genuine mix of sad and proud of all the people who made Jezebel

I am so proud of the work so many of us at Jez were able to churn out despite constantly lacking resources and having to deal with administrative chaos. My nearly four years there made me a better writer and reporter. Thanks to my editors for letting me write about weird shit ♥️
