The worst thing about pain in this state is, you can’t curl foetally and cry, can’t stretch, can’t bow your head to pray. Just take it straight. Literally.

Reminded today that Hugo award nominations are still on. Well I’m eligible for best editor, short form as a co editor in the anthology Yemoja’a Tears: An Anthology of Water, Bodies, and Bodies of Water. You can see more about it in the link below

Using the other end of a mopstick to pick up my phone and power bank, switch on and off the fan when there’s no one else around. Disabled people in tech. 🙂

Ran away from cocodamol because opioids and addition. Landed in nsaids, and diclofenac is boring a hole in my soul of my stomach

Today is the three weeks anniversary of fracturing my spine and almost dying several times that day.

I know I am always asking for a break. But I didn’t mean my spine

It’s crazy how much you use your spine for. Things you take for granted.

I am eligible for best editor for this. Feel free to consider voting for me

Sheila is an amazing friend and editor. Asides giving me the chance to make Black history when she bought my story, she also came all the way to meet me in New York, hosted me to an amazing dinner. Wishing her swift healing and recovery, and sending strength and love to her and her family. 🙏🏾💙

I have a new story out, in the November issue of Lolwe. And it’s my first work there. It’s titled Oil and Water. Like the title indicates, it’s about the oil rich but impoverished Niger Delta region and its natural resource that’s inspired massacres, insurgencies and so much else.

Just got shortlisted for a thing. Signed a contract for another thing. Interesting start to the week.

Month and a half to the end of the year. Taking tally of my acceptances so far - 5 book deals, maybe 6 - 5 story acceptances - 4 times shortlisted for things - 1 waitlist - 1 award jury duty Not all I could accept of course. 😌

Remember, remember the 5th of November

Make art while the world burns. Before you burn. Because tf else can you do? If you're lucky, it'll put out some fires. Art is resistance, pen mightier than sword and all that.
