saddened to hear of the recent passing of Victor Mair, one of the giants in my academic field, sinology. A few reflections on my own encounters with him and his work. (Warning: long thread that originally appeared as a long Facebook post: 15 posts below.)

I gush over Bryn Hammond's What Rough Beast in this month's Heavy Metal Daydreams found in Scribe and Sigil #5

A signed, personalized hardcover of MERCUTIO is up for auction for the excellent @romancingthevote.com. I will ship anywhere in the world. This book is not yet available in US stores (and the hardcover never will be.) Auction starts tomorrow morning.

What is your favorite F/M romance that does not make you feel like you are “slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all”? I think mine is Small Change by Roan Parrish. She’s a badass bisexual owner of a tattoo shop; he’s a sweet straight guy who owns a sandwich shop. Your recs? #romancelandia

Scribe & Sigil #5 My The Tuq has a gobbet of my BEOWULF translation While Rett's Heavy Metal Daydreams has his response to WHAT ROUGH BEAST? scribe-and-sigil.com/2026/06/30/s...

A week well spent. I can't fit into a post how unusual his two heroes are, Atsuo and Wakako, and how they make a couple whose love story works for me in rare ways. Greatly notable too for its northern marsh landscapes, harsh idylls written with knowledge and love. Besides, I like prison memoirs.

Mail call! WHAT ROUGH BEAST? By @brynhammond.bsky.social Love that @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social is keeping the MMPB format alive. 😍

I repost them a bunch but here is all the @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social stuff I’ve got so far. So pumped for more to come and happy for their existence. Did I maybe get too many books in the mail today? No that’s not possible.

I call this quilt "dawn at the beach". What do you think? It is 40 by 40 inches, machine pieced and quilted in an original design. #artquilt #art #quilt #original #beach

'Gorgeous prose moves this book at a fantastic pace. I was riveted from the very first page. The action is brisk, the character is deep, the world feels alive, and the themes will be churning in my brain for a long time. Every Goatskin tale I read is better than the last.' -- reader review

"Writing retreat?" Weaklings! I am on a writing advance! A writing conquest! I will not surrender and withdraw. The book is the one who shall be finished.

50% (or 480pp) in. One of those books where I look forward to several hours of evening spent with it. It does have interminable legal proceedings, without necessarily the punch of Dostoyevsky's; but one cares so much for this splendid couple of characters caught in injustice.

Re-reading The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis. Though written in 1963, when they cast Bowie in '76 they found the book perfect actor.

Gosh! Highs and lows, ups and downs... Life, you know? But I have written an additional 51,109 words on my Arthurian novel, and commissioned some beautiful cover art for it - not to mention received some brilliant submissions to the Arthurian anthology - so I count that as a damned fine year...

reminded of these again, since I read my first Gilda story by Jewelle Gomez in the 2011. An issue far from perfect (cough cough ... a couple of failures at lesbian rep) but with Gomez and Tanith Lee and Zen Cho and other great finds from names I didn't know. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
