a squirrel is making a racket next door because there's a snake going into the neighbour's bathroom again. which is interesting i guess.

OK we stand corrected -- they are literal translations of *imaginary* Tamil love songs. Or imaginary translations of love songs. Or just imaginary songs.

In time for Valentine's Day! This new zine from @kuzhalimanickavel.bsky.social combines literal translations of Tamil love song lyrics with jelly recipe instructions and disturbing romantic collages! Subscribe to Post-Prandial Riot on Patreon to get an early copy! www.patreon.com/posts/love-s...

Friends! I wrote my first novel! Please buy it! Out October 6th, 2026 Pre order here angryrobotbooks.my.canva.site/compendium-o... @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social

one thing i am very good at is watching snakes crawl into the neighbor's bathroom and not telling them.

i am a writer and i don't read. i can't anymore, i don't know why. i do watch tv/movies and play video games though.

for some reason, the small metal jumping grasshopper can no longer jump. this too is like life.

my friend gave me this small metal grasshopper that jumps which is cool but also unnerving and i thought wow that's just like life

a toast to all my comrades who tried to live up to this impossible ideal and failed

back in the day, most of the online lit mags were american and i would read them and they would be like baseball, white dude feelings, assorted meat dishes, new york, texas, fashionable drug use, women drinking wine and someone called Gary and I would submit to them anyway because lol

Just received the devastating news that our friend and author Jugal Mody has passed away, age 39. An incredibly positive, funny, creative person. We'll really miss him.

from my ezine 'it's my passion. it's my style. ok?' please support your local third world writer www.blaft.com/collections/...

hello friends i made this useful collage of writing advice with rules on how to be a responsible citizen, you're welcome

a lot of old weird fiction is just colonials talking about how scary and strange the natives are

the ezine 'it's my passion. it's my style. ok?' has images from a catalogue i bought from a moldering book fair. i kept going back there because i am stupid. i contracted a chest infection and on the way to the ER, i decided i was going to die. the ezine also has an illegibly tiny font pls buy it 🙏

i wrote a minibook called How to Love Mathematical Objects. just as many people write about The Other without knowing shit about The Other, i have written this minibook about mathematics without knowing shit about mathematics. i am the colonial white dude of mathematics

The Lucy Temerlin Institute for Broken Shapeshifters Guide to Starving Boys is about a certain kind of young man i often met in my youth. well-mannered, well-read, stoned, gentle, living in small rooms with a tv and nothing else, prone to vanish. wherever you are, i hope you are ok

It's really fun to talk about this zine with the warehouse "Do you have some sexy owl gods?" "I have plenty of sexy owl gods" "I need 5 sexy owl gods" "Why just 5? I'm sending you 100 sexy owl gods... It's always good to have some extra sexy owl gods" www.blaft.com/products/a-c...

please support the post prandial riot and get a new ezine every month. my ezine was about lesser sexy owl gods. another ezine has a gigantic dong on it. responsibly enjoy authentic indian weirdness. www.patreon.com/PostPrandial...

from a poem i read in a magazine called india (1928)- a british couple have an indian cook. they catch him sticking his fingers in the food and using his undershirt to cover the cheese. so they put him in the oven and kill him. if you had a sense of humor, you would see that this is funny.

rumor has it that there will be a gigantic stack of national geographics wow!

🎉🤞🏾

would someone please buy this book? my publisher and i think it's funny. www.blaft.com/products/con...

hang out with us! we will be...i'm not 100% sure what we will be doing. art? reading old magazines? idk. did i mention that i ended up with stitches after the last blaft event? anything can happen.

have you ever wanted to read and listen along to a disappointing story about revolting worms? you're in luck! strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

Thank you to everyone who's shared & donated for your generosity. But support has fallen a lot. Please help Archita reach her goal and get some semblance of security in this terrible time for her and her mother. I'm the only one who's donated in 3 days:

the piracy debate always reminds me of how many people out there think the entire world is exactly like their world. just as writing is not accessible for everyone, reading isn't accessible for everyone either.

i'm supposed to be doing so many things right now but at the moment, i'm watching a snake climb into the neighbour's bathroom window and i should probably say something so i am thinking about that also

what is a nuzzi?

81% to the goal--thank you so much to everyone for your generosity in sharing & giving so far. Archita would be very grateful for your continued support so she can make her goal and find some semblance of security in this terrible time.

what does 'desi' actually mean? it makes me think of some amorphous country where no one wears pants on principle.

Kuzhali Manickavel's second collection has gone for reprint. Read one of her flash pieces. Let yourself be metagrobolised by her titles. Watch the book trailer (featuring record scratching / razor blades / superdance). www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjaj... Order a copy! www.blaft.com/products/thi...

Thank you to everyone who's donated & shared so far for your generosity. But Archita is at 70% to her goal & donations have slowed. Please help her get some security in this terrible time if you can.

enjoyed watching The Ugly Stepsister with some illustrious acquaintances, great film for shouting 'eeeeeewwwww' en masse every few seconds

Thank you to everyone who's shared & donated so far for your generosity. But Archita's stuck at 69% to her goal and has had only 1 donation since I last shared 2 days ago. Please keep sharing & donating so she can get some security in this terrible time.

because it's not a book launch unless someone gets stitches.

BANDIGOAT: A Collection of Strange & Horrible Stories as well as our zine "ARTHASHATRA Book XIII Chapter I -- Sowing the Seeds of Dissension" (narrated by public domain clip art of worms and dinosaurs) is part of this very cool limited edition book box discoverthe.garden/products/oct...

Fellow Calcuttan writer/editor Archita Mittra is in desperate need of financial help. She recently lost her father, her home was damaged in the recent rains, & her mother's in hospital. They don't have insurance, & she's a freelancer. I can vouch for her. Please share widely & donate:
