Kelela’s newest album is such a gorgeously gentle vibe. Reminds me how amazingly consistent she’s been as an artist over the years. And an example of someone making a sound that’s both doing something new and quintessentially her own.

Teaching Creative Writing for @bcltuea.bsky.social again this week, and I truly love what discussions on crip time can gift the translator as creative writer. We are all so hard on ourselves as artists, so much of the time, and need reminders of why we came to this freedom. #CripLit #xl8

Congratulations to all the winners—translators, authors, publishers, and readers 📚
