Happy Chinese New Year!

Absolutely dangerous fool.

So say we all.

This is what our world sorely needs.

“Know your parasites.” Ticks. Worms. Billionaires. Different problems, different treatments. 🦠💸 New in London UK!

Trump‘s execs run up MASSIVE expenses at the Kennedy Center while artists and staff panic over their jobs. New receipts show senior MAGA-installed executives running up thousands of dollars ìn fine dining and luxury hotels as attendance craters and the institution slid toward chaos.

Yup.

Please do not show this movie on a plane or any manner of moving vehicle.

I really do not recognize the US these days. This is not the place I had wanted to be a part of, and where so much of my extended family lives. Release the Epstein files now.

There is no other word to describe this but "genocide".

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing about it. " --- Albert Einstein Impeach him now.

Best in show?

So true... (by Jonathan Strahan)

Happy 2026 everyone. Here are my thoughts about what could be a very turbulent but momentous Year. www.linkedin.com/posts/vrocam...

I truly love this old quote.

Season's greetings to all, especially those experiencing the following:

Please respect the importance of the TBR pile...

This is magnificent. The Ndlovu Youth Choir stated that their intention was to imagine what the song may have sounded like had Zanzibar-born Queen frontman Freddie Mercury never left Africa. Check it out - youtu.be/gbljPQbxtTQ?...

Maybe it's not too late?

Yup.

Taxing people for reading s a really stupid move.

Another reason to buy coffee from small, local stores.

This Holiday season please support your local booksellers instead of billionaires.

Thank you for all your warm greetings on my birthday! I would love to spend some quality time with each and every one of you in the coming year - either here in Singapore or when I travel overseas. With @patmulles.bsky.social

See you tomorrow at our The Edible Future workshop: food tasting + microfiction writing from 3:30 to 5:30pm. In this micro sci-fi writing workshop, we will explore how food fuels speculative storytelling. Presented by SWF, Bricolage and myself.

It was an honour to have a conversation with award-winning SFF writer @kyliu99.bsky.social at SWF 2025. As we move deeper into this new era of man/machine creativity, your work continues to show that imagination remains our most powerful form of intelligence.

Excited to be part of this year's Singapore Writers Festival, my 13th consecutive one. See you there!
