“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

💜FIELDS OF FUJIBAKAMA🌿

Each year a parcel of meadow in Ōharano (大原野), to the south west of the city, is transformed into an oasis of thoroughwort. 'Fujibakama-en' (フジバカマ園) is one of the best places in Kyōto to catch sight of this endangered flower 'in the wild'.

One of the things about this study is that a lot of baby and toddler books are written in house, by editors. So the study reveals the whiteness of editorial in kidlit even if not explicitly. But, big picture, this trend is unacceptable. I remember so many promises www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

I may not have "money for a cover" but not only did I make this cover MYSELF - I photographed the elements and then ATE them.

Join this online bookclub discussion with Nikki and Tanya about my novel SHIGIDI. I'll make an appearance and talk about supernatural heists at the British museum, African gods, belief and sex as sources of power, plus more. It'll be fun.

The translations we're hoping to fund for a Black small press are:
- A story about a Black trans woman in South Africa.
- A story about a Black woman in Zimbabwe who deals with the corruption of the men around her.
- A story about three Black men in Tanzania who must grapple with masculinity.
