I’m going to start running classes and workshops, so I made a poster with possible class topics, prices, etc. Would something like this interest you, if it were offered locally? What about in online learning format? LMK what you think! #CreativeWriting #Classes #Workshops

#JusticeForCyrus As a Chinese American, an Asian American, I said very little & kept my head down during AANHPI+ month because I was already tired & I didn’t honestly feel proud. Now to find out that an Asian man who should never have owned a gun based on his repeated choices murdered a Black child…

Today I was blocked by a man who loudly proclaimed that the male loneliness epidemic is definitely women’s fault. A win is a win.

The movie #Searching starring #JohnCho just loaded on @netflix.com, so if you haven’t seen it, please go watch it IMMEDIATELY. I saw this in theaters as a mom treat all by myself & I had no one to turn to in shock, no one’s shoulder to slap! Incredible creative format, edge-of-your-seat plot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Honestly the 2 leads have a terrible relationship w/realistically deal-breaking backgrounds. He’s so cold & mean & she’s so passive. There’s honestly more romantic overtones & undertones between Song Yan & the instructor, his best buddy/coworker. Communication, care, gentleness, hurt, reconciliation

Once again, sex workers and porn artista were among the first early adopters of bsky. They built the platform up and brought their audiences with them. Now that they have enough mainstream appeal, they want to exile the very people who made their site worth being on. A tale as old as time.

The resistance in Myanmar isn't always easy to donate to directly One place is: www.liberatemyanmar.net There are also orgs doing humanitarian aid work in areas the Junta won't allow aid to get to which also helps! Kachin Relief Fund: kachinrelief.org.uk Karen Women's Organisation: karenwomen.org

The civil war in Myanmar really deserves so much better reporting in the west omg

There’s a shadowy assassins guild in my world that trains members starting @ very young ages. They wear demon-face masks & they have decentralized cells. They’re handed a much older than preferred clumsy girl with a gentle heart & asked to make her into a weapon. #Juniplex #Writing #WriterSky #WIP 📚

Submissions to @bafflingmag.bsky.social will open up again on June 1st. We'll be reading for unthemed stories as well as on the theme of "gossip" for the upcoming issue edited by @bendibarrett.bsky.social. 🪶 queer speculative stories 🪶 <1200 words 🪶 8¢/word

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

On the subject of hatred for teachers who were evil, all my worst enemies have probably fallen to the ravages of time & mortality by now. May they rot in their graves & yet still know no peace. May their tormented souls be tied to the repeated memories of times they tried to break students’ spirits.

I’ve run out of everything else and I don’t want to start anything NEW new or OLD new, so here I am back again with #Cdrama #FireworksOfMyHeart. What a humiliation ritual of this sad girl begging for this angry, resentful man’s attention. Writers must be out of their minds, deep in the Koolaid.

I’m watching the #KPops movie on @Netflix.com, and it’s cringey but still fun. I loved seeing Vernon as himself, The Rose, etc. Kevin Woo as a young contestant idol cracks me up because I know who he is… Lemme get a GIF for this occasion. Here we go—this man is playing a teen & I find it hilarious!

We have a new forthcoming book! @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social and I have been working with an incredible line up of authors for an edited volume of post-revolutionary science fiction stories. It will be out in about a year, and a great follow up to Everything for Everyone.

It’s wild to live in a big swimming pool they’re filling with concrete because they don’t want black people to have anything that’s pretending to be a country

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol

#KDrama #Wonderfools is literally so good guys. It’s so funny and well made and just such a good all around short feature show with misfit superheroes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This isn’t even about AI - this is just straight-up misogyny.

#Wonderfools is HILARIOUS! I guess I’m back into #Kdrama land because I’m watching that and #MyRoyalNemesis as well as #FilingForLove. MRN is what happens when you give 2 actors with “villain face” a shot at being the romantic leads, and FFL is an office romance (but the chemistry is meh IMO).

I had a consultation w/a Book Writing Coach. She helps people get their books written. We spoke on Zoom, but I tried to be very clear that it was not financially feasible for me to hire her. I wish! If enough money dropped into my lap to pay bills AND pay for this… *sigh* #WriterSky #BookSky 📚

#Cdrama #ASplendidMatch is pretty entertaining so far. Since it’s ongoing, I’ve run out of episodes, so the next inadvisable step is to pick up an even newer ongoing #Kdrama, right? Anyways, I don’t know why the king’s face in #MyRoyalNemesis is obscured. It’s obviously interview / crow’s feet guy.

Majority Black districts in the South that civil rights activists fought and died for are being wiped off the map in a matter of days but the insurrectionists who tried to overturn the 2020 election are being given $1.7 billion from the government

#WIP #WriterSky #BookSky I made a breakthrough on plotting for the Grimm Dark Red Riding Hood x #Wuxia story. All that is well & good but makes me nervous about actually writing all this after I finish #plotting. I have never done this much planning before as a lifelong #Pantser.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

There is a movement to recall Louisiana's intensely fascist and deeply hated governor. The state government political warfare against New Orleans has reached unprecedented levels, per folks there. Please share with your networks.

I remember a giant floppy disk with a game with green pixelated camels and shooting laser beams. JFC this literally feels like I’m recounting a fever dream. UPDATE: I FOUND IT, I SHIT YOU NOT: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_...

I keep reading hantavirus as hentaivirus.

I’m writing essentially a #Cdrama #Wuxia story, but I’m naming people & I could be giving them the Chinese equivalents of Jeebus McMack, Virginia Fred Cathy, Cacklemore Danus, Goober Wilsonson. I’m just going off vibes and the audacity of a YT cis man. At some point, I will acquire a consultant. 😭

#Nonbinary queers are often stereotyped into “tomboy” or “just a lil guy” & cute AFAB-but-dresses-whimsical-masc. I just wanna be here for the BIPOC neurodivergent big boned, utilitarian clothing wearing, boring ass enbies who don’t perform YT-coded queer aesthetics. Also shout out to AMAB enbies!

We get a new dinosaur today! Meet Nagatitan, a giant who wandered the warm woodlands of Thailand more than 113 million years ago. I’ll tell you more at National Geographic. 🦕 🧪

In a historic moment, I was interviewed by fellow Black woman particle physicist Dr. Katrina Miller. Few people can understand my journey the way she does. We talked about my new book, why poetry matters, and yes, how the *fact* of non-trinary neutrinos challenges anti-trans rhetoric. #GiftLink

It's bizarre that the US is blocking shipments of fuel, but not solar panels. It's almost like they really don't believe PV works. www.cnn.com/2026/05/13/c...

oh it's so good! Check out the new story - my heart was racing during the conflict scenes, rooting for the sweet crabbies! 💗🦀🦀

We spoke with The Green Bone Saga author @fondalee.bsky.social about her latest standalone dystopian sci-fi epic The Last Contract of Isako, building its cyberpunk world, future projects, and more. Read or watch the full interview below ⬇ #booksky 💙📚 #authorinterview #scifi #cyberpunk #samurai

SINNERS. It’s historical! Takes place in history and all that!

Oh my goodness. @amalelmohtar.com has a way of reviewing books that pierces straight to the heart of a story with a clarity that stuns even the author. I feel speechless and touched and seen. 🥹

Finished #Cdrama #LegendOfShenLi and it was a fun ride. Even though I live reacted it in private messages to my friend who highly recommended it, it doesn’t make my top 10. Then against my better judgement, I impulsively started #ASplendidMatch, which is ongoing, so I’m already in trouble.

Honestly, sometimes these studies just end up pissing me off because why do we need a team of experts to tell us it’s better when prisoners are afforded basic dignity and humanity and, what’s worse, why is it inevitable that we’ll ignore the results anyway?

I actually hate how the horrors of modern capitalist Generative AI has shifted my perspectives on robots & artificial intelligence even in science fiction & fantasy. It used to be fun, but now I get the ick. I am now more concerned about the ethics of portraying sympathetic “AI” characters.

I am watching #LegendOfShenLi and #PerfectCrown. What dramas are you watching right now, and are they good? #AsianDramas #Cdrama #Kdrama

#SignalBoost for #Aviary! (You can find this author on TikTok as well!)

I don’t really know how this works. Just kept doing word association until to told me I won…? I played contexto.me 05/05/2026 and got it in 19 guesses. 🟩🟩 6 🟨 1 🟥🟥🟥 12

It has become abundantly clear that in the second administration of Trump, white people are fine with their livelihoods being decimated as long as he keeps harming Black and Brown people. That's just all there is to it.
