Earlier this week, I FINALLY finished the first round of edits for the Judas Iscariot novel!!! Next step: round two where I type up all the changes I wanna make. After that, I ship it off to my editor.

Until then, I have 10 other books currently available! Link: www.amazon.com/stores/autho...

Well, unfortunately the #HATM thread broke for me, but I loved the movie & reading everyone's reactions!

My history birbs attentively watched this one too. I've raised them well πŸ’…Named them after my favorite pirates from my masters' thesis:

Green - Anne Bonny
Yellow- Jack Rackham
Blue- Mary Read

Dang, I really liked Daniel Kaluuya in "Get Out," but I REALLY like him in this movie. His talent is shining bright like a diamond in this role #hatm

oh it's definitely a netflix thing-- I've had this on multiple shows/movies on this app

Sadly no, but we did get an incredible portrayal of William Lee, George Washington's enslaved valet, throughout the show-- portrayed by the incredible Gentry White! #hatm

right?!?!!? when I was researching/writing my novella about him I couldn't help but wonder why he didn't have his own biopic yet. One day, hopefully. His name is becoming more and more well known! #hatm

Random complaint: Netflix volume changes give me whiplash. One minute I'm cranking up the volume to hear the dialogue, the next there's a transition scene with a song and its just SCREAMING AT ME (and probably my poor neighbors LOL) #hatm

literally me the first couple times. I was like oh I should probably watch more than read myself--- then realized wait... I don't see my posts either LOL #hatm

yeaaahh it seems to be hit or miss. I start noticing when the feed gets real quiet for like 5 mins straight #hatm

As a progressive Christian (member of the United Church of Christ denomination), it forever baffles me how these people think being a Jesus-follower equates to hating entire groups of people. They don't study His teachings OR history. Clearly. #hatm

we have zero luck tonight LOL #hatm

yuck-- as a Christian (the progressive kind who like the red letters not red hats) that's absurd to me. It's almost like they never studied Jesus' life/teachings ... just like they never studied history. Wild. #hatm

Looks like #hatm stream broke again-- see if this works this time:

1) James Armistead Lafayette - the enslaved man who became America's first double-agent & whose intelligence played a direct role in the Battle of Yorktown in the AmRev

2) Pizza!!

"You can't cheat your way to equality" .... ew. White privilege and ignorance has entered the chat. Imagine looking a Black person in the face and saying that knowing the system is rigged smh #hatm

the feed isn't really working for me either -- i think it's a weird glitch. Seeing everyone's posts way late (and not seeing my own at all) #HATM
