I love worldbuilding, material culture, history, wuxia, intersectional criticism, fictional moms, and tea. I'm currently studying Classical Chinese and I post the occasional translation. Sometimes I write SFF criticism and fanfic too.

Thrilled my article on the contributions of female writers to the #Wuxia genre (published recently in ArtReview's magagzine) is now on their website. The work of women writers and gender rep has been a major part of my research, which I hope to put in the upcoming book! artreview.com/there-is-no-...

In 1082, exiled in Huangzhou, Su Shi (蘇軾) rowed beneath moonlight to the storied Red Cliff, the site of ancient battle. There, stirred by wine, wind, and memory, he composed Ode on the Red Cliffs (赤壁賦). It weaves history with sorrow, 1/2

If anyone can help, that would be appreciated. With a vehicle. Either today or this weekend.
I realize the support intended, but I do not actually need anyone to dunk on my friend who is clearly overwhelmed by the logistics of their move.

I agreed that a friend moving out of town could store boxes at my house for several months until they are established in their new location. But apparently they are also expecting me to figure out transporting boxes to my house... Does anyone in Philly have a vehicle free from the snow?
