Happy international literacy day! Here’s a reminder that I’ve published two books (both available on my website or gifted via patreon subscription. But if you want, you can #pullup to the #uptownindiebookfair happening 9/25 from 10a-6pm. I’ll have fresh copies on hand and perhaps a #newbook as well. Thank you @dominicanwriters @qplnyc & all those other phenomenal orgs that have organized this opportunity for us. I can’t wait to nerd out & stock up on more Black & Brown writers. #BlackWritersMatter #WOCMatter #BuyMoreBooks #read #reader #writer #blackwriters #RadicalblackBookClub https://www.instagram.com/p/CTk3vEzlEnj/?utm_medium=tumblr

One for all the Doctor Who fans out there. The character is a fictional alien so what does it matter who plays The Doctor? In the words of @latriceroyale - good god get a grip girl! Who knows, one day we might see a person of colour play The Doctor. #fightthegoodfight #doctorwho #femaledoctors #woc #wocmatter #femalesarestrongashell #goodgodgetagripgirl

Reading Bitch Planet currently - it's everything! Now to impatiently wait for the next issue... #bitchplanet #nonconformist #fightthegoodfight #wocmatter #bodypositive #intersectionalfeminism #dystopia #scifi #dystopianscifi #goodreads #currentreads

The more I read and watch dystopian fiction like The Handmaid's Tale, the more parallels I see with today's world and it is utterly terrifying. #Repost @tylerfeder #thehandmaidstale #fightthegoodfight #wocmatter #dystopia #nottodaysatan

I might also go for a walk and eat something yummy. Who else has similar plans? #desipinups #wocmatter #intersectionalfeminism #makingitbetterforeveryone #fightthegoodfight #existenceisresistance #Repost @thepakistanimarthastewart with @repostapp ・・・ My 9 to 5 #smashthepatriarchy

Excellent idea Laila - representation matters! #Repost @midcentury_mermaid with @repostapp ・・・ 💛 It has come to my attention that as far as Vintage and Pinup go, there is very little exposure for South Asian women. That has to change. I have started a new page @desipinups to focus on and feature pinups of South Asian descent as well as showcase vintage clothing and fashion specific to OUR part of the world from the early to mid century. Please give us a follow💚 Pinup and vintage should be about everyone and supporting an autonomous platform is a good start. @desipinups @desipinups @desipinups #unfairandlovely #samosasisters #vintagestylenotvintagevalues #vintageyourway #desipinups #pinupsofcolor #woc #wocmatter #representationmatters

After seeing my little grandma today, I went for a proper walk in the woods with my better half. The sunny weather was just glorious but we managed to spot a juvenile stag - twice! A wonderful way to end the weekend. #wocmatter #unfairandlovely #samosasisters #fijianpinup #femalesarestrongashell #walkinthewoods #naturelover #wildlifespotting #walkinginnature #rambling

On this International Women's Day, I celebrate the women who rarely make headlines. My grandma - She moved across the world in her early twenties with her first child. She went from working on a farm to being a cleaner, a seamstress and a carer. She was never taught to read or write but she learned to speak English quickly. She raised four children and has cared for her grandchildren too. My mother - She helped run the household when my grandparents went to work. She trained as a nurse and a midwife. She delivered thousands of babies. She saved lives. She was the first person in her family to go to university, moving on to her masters. She raised my sister and me as she worked and studied. When my dad left, she made sure we didn't miss out. She put us through university and built up her own business. Both of these women have shown me what great strength means. Though I may never amount to what they have indeed become, I hope I keep a little of their strength in me. #internationalwomensday #wocmatter #diversifypinup #intersectionalfeminism #unfairandlovely #samosasisters
