I blurbed this gorgeous novella, so I was lucky enough to read an early version of "These Hollow Bodies." Guys, @pegasusunder.bsky.social has created something so beautiful and visceral and tactile and full of art, there’s nothing like it, I swear to gods. I'm still haunted by it 🩵

My spoiler-free "The Odyssey" review: this is the loudest movie I have ever watched in a theater. I was armed with concert earplugs, and I still felt as though my brain was going to splatter out of my shattered eardrums. The unnecessary volume and thumping bass actively rearranged my organs.

Just a little over $2000 to go before we're FULLY FUNDED! We're down to the wire folks, with about three days to go, so let's get this over the hump and across the finish line! 🙌

All right, I’ve kept quiet for a bit because of real life crap, but come on guys. Our KS is moving at a snail's pace, and we can do better. And I’m not just saying this because I’m the marketing director of @khoreo.bsky.social, or because khōréō is my ride or die fam (which they are, ALWAYS)

EEP it's OUT! This exquisitely crafted story by @emelkrishnan.bsky.social is a jewel. Interstate Mohinis was justifiably WSFA award nominated in 2024 and on @locusmag.bsky.social's recommended list in 2023. I was thrilled to do the #narration for @pseudopod.org 🐙❤️ #SFF #ShortFiction #voiceactor
