i love this book so bad one of the best fantasy novels of this decade

Do buy WRATH GODDESS SING. It is imperative

i write scifi on a very technical level 😌

has anyone read sha po lang I Would Like To Talk About Sha Po Lang

I read some words by Cory Doctorow when I was but a wee squatter girl writing bad zines: what an artist should fear isn't piracy. It's obscurity. Those words stuck with me and have served me well.

happy birthday to me 😌

in kind of tremendous danger of becoming too important at my job lately...

i think my social circle is somewhat cosmically out of balance at the moment because it is mostly strava friends and not enough letterboxd friends

Some awards eligibility periods are closing soon! 👀 Please check out "As The Earth Dreams" for your anthology considerations! 💜🩵🖤 Filled with beautiful and haunting stories of ancestry, memory, labor, freedom, and more, this is the first Black Canadian SFF anthology, and hopefully not the last.

One day I'll remember how to post a newsletter at a time when people read their email but in my defence I am on a ship in the Pacific ocean & time is, among other things, a social construct from which I have been abstracted for the foreseeable future ANYWAY MY NEW BOOK IS OUT TODAY

CLUB CONTANGO is sold out at Kinokuniya!😭 Get it at the usual platforms, @spacecowboybooks.bsky.social @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social and more. Or the audiobook, narrated by @valory.bsky.social 🎲🌠 Watch out for THE AH HUAT ENGINEERING COOKBOOK AND ORGANIZING MANUAL '27 via @starsandsabers.bsky.social

i have given into the impulse (bought tickets for kyuhyun death note musical 😪) so for the next 4 weeks i need to marathon all of death note in order to be maximally insane about this series and reap the maximum emotional catharsis of my decisions

instead of buying me a pizza just get my book honestly

took an uber to work today because it is raining buckets and i am mildly ill and when i got in, the driver's phone chimed like "DESTINATION: CANCER CENTRE" and he very audibly Startled and i said, "don't worry i'm going to work" and he was like Oh Thank God

necessary read & eternally timely unfortunately—what strikes me is how often writers are stuck with that feeling of "was that racist or....?" when dealing with an industry that we're always told is deeply subjective. in my experience usually the answer is yes! lmao

sometimes a really specific brand of crazy hits you (a guy you like a lot stars in a musical you have wanted to see for years) and you find yourself feverishly googling round trip flights to seoul

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Going to re-up our call to nominate On Spec for Best Semiprozine at the Hugos With Canadian identity under attack by USA-based alt-right political forces, it's an important moment to celebrate things that are weirdly Canadian This is also their last year of eligibility. Throw them a vote, please.

so fucking hyped for this can barely put it into words

we out here.

and we're live, folks! THE IRON GARDEN SUTRA is now out everywhere books are sold! if you pre-ordered a copy, you should be receiving it soon (or already have) and if not, it's not too late to purchase the yellowest book in all of history!

gorgeous gorgeous cover :')) if you're a fan of august clarke this should be on your radar already and if you're not then you really should be!!

for hopeful new year vibes you might like my novella ft. family dumpling scene (you might like the other one if your energy moving into this new year is closer to unhinged)

it's reposting this cover of the villain song from the death note musical & think about toxic femme lesbian light yagami o'clock www.youtube.com/watch?v=g66o...

Everyone else is doing their awards nomination posts, so I guess I should do mine before I forget what I even wrote this year... 😅 Poetry has been a big deal for me, so considering any of my @seattlein2025.org poems for a Rhysling, or Con-Verse for a Best Related Work Hugo, would rock my world!

who wants to talk about this movie with me

sometimes you get back to home/work from vacation and that is sad but then your little cats curls up on top of you and it is less sad

have been in an amateur film bro phase lately which mostly means actually going to local indie theatres and watching reruns of old hk movies and i am genuinely having a blast & filling the creative well in ways previously untapped

A nice simple List of One this year! My first ever novella eligibility, which I'm excited about.

My #SFF curations get more traction, but I'm primarily a nonfiction author. During #nonfictionnovember, I'm spotlighting this output. Starting with #books. This sociocultural guide to deities was a crazy endeavour of telling the stories of 60, I'm delighted with its wide and lasting impact. 1/

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!

every time i think about sex writing, i think about this excerpt from a book i read once that talked about how broadly speaking, vaginas get hard and penises get wet, and the emphasis of what is like physically happening in each circumstance is incredibly gendered (sorry i forget which book now)

brainwashed early by the High Achieving Asian Disapora culture in my weird insular high school cohort; ruled out business (evil), engineering (too much screen time), law (can't handle being wrong occasionally) > guess i'm gonna do medicine

We lost some work because some authors who showed their weirdness and rough edges asked uncomfortable questions about the power structures too many people accept as given, and then a bunch of the "community" tormented them until they hid away. Isabel Fall was one for starters.

everyone remembers what happened to Isabel Fall.

"Novels of female interiority have dominated literary fiction for nearly a decade." Happy almost 11 months of pub to CLUB CONTANGO. ✨️😮 Did you know!✨️ It has a not-young MC, and takes on "themes of migration and money"! 🎲📉

my monday routine these days is doing my little rounds and seeing if there are any updates for Things That I Am Waiting On

impossible to tell if this is a not enough caffeine headache or a too much caffeine headache

guys not to be like this but i am sitting on some bomb ass short stories that are currently being run through the submission grinder. and i'm like ik patience is the game but man. one of them in particular i am actually quite proud of, it is perhaps the best complete thing ive written in a while

spent all day doing research to write one (1) paragraph and i'm really not even sure if it reads well, classic

For some #FridayFun, how about a Spooktastic Selection of Solaris Books? Remember, being spooky is for life, not just for Halloween! Ft. books from @rainewilson.bsky.social @samkhorton.bsky.social @mkhardywrites.com @emmanewman.bsky.social @aptshadow.bsky.social @alexdecampi.bsky.social#FridayFun& more!

current resting state of our household at this moment is no more than three cats stay in the same room at the same time. time will only tell if we can achieve the rare four cat equilibrium

going to do nano this year for the first time in forever wahaha wish me luck
