😍💫🫶 Feeling super lucky that my first writing retreat ever was the 5th year anniversary Asian American Community Retreat at Boyds Mills, hosted by Debbi Michiko Florence & Grace Lin! So soul-filling meeting with AAPI creators, sharing our dreams, and cheering each other on.

hey @ologies.bsky.social @alieward.bsky.social i really really would’ve appreciated a content warning on the mating trauma segment of the skunk ep—you guys are usually so good about that stuff and i put on the ep in real need of some comfort and ended up crying in the shower

I personally think if you champion the current state of ai, including uncritically using & sharing any of it, you should be forced to watch the nepal disaster footage like you’re in clockwork orange until you join the rest of us in committing to stop this explicit, avoidable evil right the fuck now

the Only time i have trouble suspending disbelief watching reacher is when he hits guys with trash bags and they don’t break

i wanted camp miasma to have something more to say about queer visibility, monstrosity, safety, and threat—it felt like it set up alllll this cool stuff about commercialized femininity, the inhuman trappings of narrative & human dynamics filtered through capitalism—

haven’t resented a movie for wasting my precious time on earth as much as netflix’s stupid Last House for AGES. i kept wanting to turn it off but it became such a sunk cost thing for needing to know how it ended even though i knew it would disappoint. and boy did it ever.

my wife, upon learning the brother on Sterling Point is Mark Ruffalo’s son Keen Ruffalo: what did Mark Ruffalo say to Keen Ruffalo when he left to film Sterling Point? me: what my wife: bye, son i cannot stop laughing

s2g the way sterling point’s plot twists go season 2 oona’s dad gonna be revealed to be Mr Sterling 💀

i know the bar is in hell but every time cis male actors—especially love interests—correctly & effortlessly gender emma d’arcy in hotd promo stuff, it makes me happy

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

charmed theme song started playing in the pizzeria and i feel like a sleeper agent awakening to hypervigilance…there is danger afoot…the power of three is under threat

Here's an excellent review of CINDER HOUSE I found while re-reading it. Fantasy fans out there, especially queer, poly people: You'll like this. (I'd love to read the reviewer @mayagittelman.bsky.social's novel when it comes out!) reactormag.com/book-review-...

@freyamarske.bsky.social I'm re-reading CINDER HOUSE. This book is BETTER on my second read. SO GOOD. Definitely a good-for-my-depression read. I read (and loved) THE LAST BINDING books as they came out. I just pre-ordered BODIES OF MAGIC. (Kind of a fan. wry grin)

an honor to be be bisexual in the same world as françois arnaud 🫡

nyc subway ads going from iconic wacky indie businesses, poetry, and performance art to ceaseless monopolied h/p & a/i cashgrab slop is…a specificity of capitalist gentrification that disgusts me to my native new yorker core

Just so we’re clear, every author I know still wakes up, says “AI can kiss my whole ass,” and gets to work.

Periodic reminder that if you don't like writing, you don't have to do it. By which I mean find another hobby, not outsource the writing you claim to be doing.
