Now on SG Kino. singapore.kinokuniya.com/bw/978196165... #WolfPath

I like this passage from the novel 'Mibu Gishi Den.' "The cherry blossoms of Morioka bloom by splitting stone. The magnolias of Morioka bloom even facing north. So don't just wait comfortably for spring to come. If you're a samurai of Nanbu, bloom magnificently by splitting stone."

Midnight is beside herself eversince I came down with the sinus crud. Extremely Concerned.

ICYMI: a whole thread of asexuality in literature. Terribly incomplete for reasons stated in-thread and QTs, but plenty of cool tradpub milestones we’ve reached over the past… 40-odd years.

Toki Pona FAQ was getting too big. We split it into several pages. Each has its own smaller scope. tokipona.org/faq.html Always open to your improvement ideas! sina ken pona e lipu la mi wile kute lon tenpo ale! Ni aparte bonvenigas plibonigojn de Esperantistoj! #tokipona #esperanto

OK, fern skeeting for @gettoknownature.bsky.social . This is an ama'u, a fern with a high-altitude adaptation--newly unfurled ferns are red, protecting them from the harsh UV in their environment. 🌿📷

I've been thinking a lot about my small business and how tariffs will affect us specifically, but also all of us small businesses who are going to be affected by tariffs in big and small ways that we just can't plan for or predict. 🧵

We have words, sentences, and pronouns.

One thing good about Singhealth: Received a text reminder for neuro appointment a week ago. Then, yesterday - a call from the neuro department.

I am so late. Thanks, time zones. :D Part of creative process? Music. Also my stylus. And a notebook and pen. #kidlitchat

I am trying to come up with jukka words now (haha).

Oh yeah, for SG folk... Kino SG might be bringing in Wolf's Path. Stay tuned.

It's trans, it's liminal, it's walking between worlds, it has teeth, and it's still growing. It's a path I have chosen and a path I am walking with wolf paws.

Hello, Wednesday. Sinus infection seems to be abating. Fingers crossed.

Good night..

Strange Horizons will open for Fiction Submissions tomorrow!

The Cozy Fantasy panel I did at Worldbuilding Con is now conveniently broken out into its own video! Check it out - we had a lot of fun! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO-o...

Right, listen to body. Go to bed.

[whispers] If authors want to add their ace books in a reply to this post, I would like it. (Secondary is fine with me, just be upfront about it. Tertiary rep or smaller, I will side-eye you forever.)

Hello! I make games that are mostly online, some of which are PDFs, some of which are epub, and all of which you can access without needing a printed copy riiiight here: urania-games.itch.io

Anyway, if you appreciate the work @atthisarts.com has done and hopes to do, I'd be grateful for visibility to these wonderful, wonderful, books so we can finally stabilize. Joyce Chng Gigi Ganguly Cheryl S. Ntumy Avi Silver Gregory A. Wilson Bogi Takács Cat Rambo Linda D. Addison A.D. Sui ...

Finally created the shishini conlang - just the pronouns, some word terms and name places.

In 2023, the wonderful Dr Aditi Jaganathan & Andrew Ashong were assaulted & wrongfully arrested by the Met Police. ‘We believe that we were targeted as suspected drug dealers because we were perceived to be black.’ Please help them hold authorities to account, by supporting if you can, & sharing:

I wonder if I would ever attend a big scale sff con again.
