Starting off Pride month with another #BIPOCQTchat tomorrow! 5pm pacific time

20% off select AAPI titles at @bookshop.org!! 😍 They Bloom at Night is there! It takes place in a small shrimping community in the South, where I grew up. Vietnamese immigrants settled there and became shrimpers. TBAN is about how survival becomes a piece of folklore. bookshop.org/info/aapi

To make this run, however, we need funding to the tune of 5000 USD. A full breakdown of costs can be found at concurrentseattle.weebly.com/funding.html. This is where you come in! Please help us make ConCurrent a real thing and declare unequivocally that genAI has no place in the arts. 3/7

There’s no way to ease into this news, so here it is. Today, I am announcing ConCurrent Seattle, a one-day SFFH con intended to be an alternative program to WorldCon, scheduled for Thursday, August 14, 2025, at the ACT Theatre in downtown Seattle at 700 Union Street, across from the Sheraton. 1/7

If you enjoy playing Dredge, BOY should you have a look at THEY BLOOM AT NIGHT by @nvtran.bsky.social . Just finished it and really enjoyed!

I'm very happy to say that I just finished reading #TheyBloomAtNight by @nvtran.bsky.social and it was one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read.

Day 3, Book 3: SHE IS A HAUNTING, a dazzling, terrifying YA horror novel by Vietnamese-American author Trang Thanh Tran (@nvtran.bsky.social). Jade's Ba is mid-restoration on a French colonial in Vietnam when she visits--but the house, with colonialism steeped in its foundation, is ravenous.

I’m kind of obsessed with this stunning edition

Sinners is an excellent movie. Highly recommend seeing it!!!

I cannot move again with so many copies 💀 Any educators working with teens want a book? I will mail to you! SIAH is a gothic horror about a bi girl fighting a hungry haunted house that wants to keep her family & TBAN is about a enby teen searching for monsters at the end of the world.

Read for the #transrightsreadathon, this book was like OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA meets HELL FOLLOWED WITH US. The prose is salty, frightening, and beautiful like the waters it explores while the body horror asks what it means to be human. @nvtran.bsky.social writes horror you don't want to miss.
