Four years ago I consulted on and wrote about this musical in my article on the historical figure of Madam Ching, China's pirate queen, www.sixthtone.com/news/1010075 I'm delighted to see it coming to final fruition. Shows start today! upstairsatthegatehouse.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

This a unique initiative in the UK- where less than 5% of theatre productions are in translation- and now it needs support! www.foreignaffairs.org.uk/support-us/t...

We’re close to the end of our fundraiser and still haven’t met our goal — we need ~$4k in four days. Frankly: I’ve used… a lot of personal funds to keep us afloat over the years between Kickstarters. I now have a child who’ll need daycare. I won’t have enough left over to bridge khōréō’s gaps.

4 days to go for our Kickstarter! I know these are tough times for all, but I’m so frigging proud of the work khōréō has been doing all these years featuring immigrant and diaspora authors. So many more stories to tell. Back us, if you can? I’m also offering query critiques as one of the rewards.

31 today! And what a year of grief and joy and despair and gratitude it has been. This is the busiest week but I am celebrating by treating myself to a few quiet hours spent writing at the coffee shop.* *Okay, less “writing,” more “sweating to death,” the coffee shop was full. CLOSE ENOUGH I GUESS.

Related to this, my response piece is now live on @file770.bsky.social - a little over 6000 words on why this motion is elitist and exclusionary and has no place in the WSFS constitution if we want to maintain an open and inclusive culture. I go over the most common talking points, with receipts!

INTRODUCTION: This piece is cross-posted on my blog as well as File 770; thanks to Mike Glyer for offering to host it there. The title is a humorous reference to British YouTuber hbomberg…

I am disappointed beyond words to see this motion being cosigned by several people I personally like & respect. As someone who is still part of the large team that kickstarted this drivel in 2021, I stand by our decision, even though we've walked it back in the years since; maybe we shouldn't have!

It is terrible that something like this happened to Bona Books (and is the fear of every small press and magazine) but they’ve been so robust and generous in sharing their insights, the report is well worth reading

Bona Books 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤘🏼@bonabooks.bsky.social · 4w ago

AI fraud nearly derailed our next anthology. Today we’re talking about what went down, the things we missed, and publishing the report we wish we’d had when it happened. Read all about it on our new blog, and download the full report:

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)

Hey there. Here's a favorite SFFH magazine of mine focused on immigrant and diaspora stories. They're doing interesting work and in the midst of a fundraiser. 11 days left and still a ways to go. What better way to support creators from across the globe, especially now.

In "So You Want to Make a Killing" by Boon Carmen, a funeral parlour director struggles to keep their business afloat in a future where death is rare and near impossible. The solution? Fill the gap in the market—with more dead bodies.

I have a new story out!!! 🖤✨️🌈 It might be my weirdest and darkest child yet. I love it very much and I hope you do too.

khōréō magazine@khoreo.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Visit an enigmatic queer bar in “Godweapon” by @kcolemanwrites.bsky.social, and be transported into a story that weaves through seduction, consumption, work/life balance, the commodification of community, and the commodification of queerness.

If you're able, consider supporting the @khoreo.bsky.social Kickstarter! They're a truly fantastic publication regularly putting out gorgeous work!

i love whenever anyone reads my clump of stories about queer subjugation & liberation (among many other things). if you're interested in those topics & horrors of the flesh, i hope that you give Gore Poetics a shot 🥩✨️

The stories in Gore Poetics explore intimacy and annihilation through visceral, wet prose. If that sounds like your kind of fiction, pick up this absolutely incredible debut collection for a Pride Month read. www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/gore...

Happy Aromantic Visibility Day 2026!

Young Adult Shapes of Love by L.V. Peñalba When nineteen-year-old Sasha’s first album throws her into stardom, her fans become obsessed with discovering who inspired her love songs. Except, Sasha is aroace-spec (aromantic, asexual), and she’s not interested in romance (unless it comes in the shape of a slowburn enemies-to-lovers book or a star-crossed-lovers manga). Her music is all about her favorite love stories, not her own.
