There’s nothing like attending Worldcon in-person as team @khoreo.bsky.social's representative, as one of the actual Finalists for Best Semiprozine, only for our masthead to be entirely skipped over, while everyone else’s names and mastheads were read in full, exactly as it was on the program sheet.

Hi all; I'm going to undergo a significant procedure later this year (sorry, would rather not disclose) and my husband's health insurance doesn't cover it. We're going to need funds for the care during and after. Any help would be much appreciated: gogetfunding.com/medical-and-...

Locus fundraiser needs help! 4 days left and only 45% to their goal. They do incredible work spotlighting emerging writers of all backgrounds; it's quality work but it costs money to put out. It would be a shame if they had to cut back b/c they can't afford it. www.indiegogo.com/projects/loc...

Thank you for sharing your story. Having witnessed some of Ekpeki's poor behavior firsthand, I absolutely believe what Erin said is true.

(making a concerted effort to remember that social media exists. i will be better at it this time i promise)

I’ve been lamenting to friends that I miss the old twitter, the 2013, 2015 twitter, where it was a place to make friends and be silly, and somehow following everyone i recognize on here feels a bit like that. reuniting with loved ones on the shores of the dead, etc

Me on this app trying to re-find everyone I've ever known and loved

Out now: THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR, my uncategorisable novella out about Ru, a 'boy from nowhere' growing up in 90s/00s Calcutta, facing the impossibility that his family may be migrants from another reality, & Alice, a neighbour from Chinatown who is pulled close to their secrets.

Hello new friends in the sky. Nothing to say here for now, but for my first post, I'd like to re-up this letter, which I think is important as social spaces dissolve: "How to Support Your Favourite Authors: Even If You Can't Buy Their Books." https://suyi.beehiiv.com/p/support-favourite-authors

Cautiously getting used (?) to posting on social media again, I think? Pictures from the morning walk.
