Became American in May. I got to vote for the first time in the 18 years I’ve lived in this country during the primary. I got to vote for the second time today. I’m so excited I could vote for Mamdani both times. 💚

Eeee, it’s Nov 3! Happy book birthday to me! 📖🍰

"There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue." Damn, what a coincidence. All these news orgs keep laying off the same types of people while a bilious, rapey, leather-faced buffoon provides them cover and shakes them down for money to build a library named for a man who does not read.

Secondhand Music resonated with me deeply. It dances between the lines of reality and imagination, exploring our fears and hopes for AI. Each page felt like a heartbeat, echoing thoughts I often keep hidden. #booksky #books

@aleksandrahill.bsky.social really brought it with Secondhand Music. I'm not sure which title is cleverer, this or Solitaire for Three. Another hit for Best Canadian Fantasy & Science Fiction: Vol 2 and @ourmankoto.bsky.social. Thoughtful, plausible, a hint of the fear of AI, satisfying. #booksky

Fffffffell asleep while doing the crossword last night. 😂

We have a new obsession (volume up to hear what he’s running home for.)

God, I’ve missed writing. The last two years have been shit; every time I think I’m escaping the nonsense, something new happens. A disastrous med switch and Covid took me out for almost two months just when I thought I was seeing the sun again. But I’m back. This book is getting fucking written.

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:

Hello everyone. Talented artist, reviewer, and beloved member of our community Archita Mittra is going through some really hard times currently. If you can spare a few $ it would make a world of difference ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-archi...

Sources say the 28-year-old was killed by members of Israel-linked 'militia' fighting Hamas in the Sabra neighbourhood.

UPS has lost a package containing my medication, which is a Schedule II controlled substance and so something that someone probably should care about not misplacing, and literally the only answer I’m getting about why it was supposed to be here on TUESDAY and still isn’t is 🤷

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Here's the epic cover for The Demon Star by Jesse Aragon! The otherworldly conflict of Dune, the cosmic strangeness of Gideon the Ninth, and the action of Red Rising converge in this epic science fantasy debut 💥💥 Available July 28, 2026 Artist: Kieran Yanner Cover Director: Adam Auerbach

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.

It’s been a really tough year+ for me, but one thing I’m consistently proud of: when I succeed at something, I don’t rest on my laurels and do victory laps around whatever that thing was. I always push myself to move onto the next challenge. Life’s just more interesting that way, eh?

ok. they're not in love, and they're not lovely. but..ladies?

Virgil any time my husband or I leave the AirBnB for a run 🥲

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years. So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

Virgil any time my husband or I leave the AirBnB for a run 🥲

Got a YouTube ad that „a vote for zohran mamdani is a vote to defund the police” and uhhh I don’t think yall intended to make me even more pumped up to vote for him but ok ✌️

I keep promising myself that the next job I get is gonna be chill Anyway started working at 9am today and it’s now 1am the next day

GenAI is a fascist infoweapon, and techbros are a supervillain class.

the number one challenge for left media in the US isn’t “how do you get americans to listen to left ideas” but “how do you get americans to understand & accept that they’re part of society and responsible for how they treat other human beings” and I have absolutely no idea how to address that

It is Pride and it is ALSO Caribbean Heritage Month! Guess whose books are in the middle of that Venn diagram? You can celebrate both Caribbean folklore and history AND Lesbians at the same time! This is like some BOGO or something! ecwpress.com/products/cou... www.neonhemlock.com/books/skin-t...
