I will be at the WorldCon in Los Angeles doing some in-person panels, a table talk, and yes - a Reading from CACIQUES - the sequel to SORDIDEZ and next installment in my Taínofuturism series. Hope to see you there! #worldcon 🤓📖📚🦾🐉👽🇵🇷🐚🪶

The plot is a strange one involving polka-dotted bonnets, nuns, and...the Scelerat. I won't spoil what they are... #sciencefiction

In 2022, I wrote a bizarre, near-future scifi western story called "Scelerat" reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the launch of ChatGPT + a fragment of a trippy dream that someone shared w/ me. Interzone just published it! shop.interzone.press/b/h2rDl

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

I was already a huge INTERZONE fan, and the chance to read a new story from @boriscrito.bsky.social was enough to get me to renew my subscription!

So. I can announce it now. I have a CNF piece in Bloodclot Zine's Revolution issue, titled, "My Black Past, My Black Present, My Black Future." It centers primarily around, but not only, a pivotal moment in my life: being the witness to my Uncle Bobby's (Herman Liburd's) passing. 1/6

In case you hadn't already heard me saying it a hundred times, one of the best novels of this century, across every genre it draws into its gravity.

@boriscrito.bsky.social Just read your short story, Schismogenesis. Incredible story - powerful, authorative, & unique! I can't think of anything to compare it to but it reminds me of how I felt when I first read Peter Watts' 'Blindsight', or Alfred Bester's 'Demolished Man'. Keep it up!

When I was a boy I devoured a lot of #sciencefiction 🤓. In those pages I learned that anything is possible if only you have the creativity to dream it into being. AnalogSF magazine was one of those inspirations. It is beyond surreal to see my words and byline in its May/June issue! 😭😫 The story 🧵
