howzit 🤙 I'm Makana, and I'm a hapa haole māhū lesbian who writes books about AAPI lesbians getting into situations in space. my next novel is THE OBAKE CODE, which is a standalone sequel set 3 years after HAMMAJANG LUCK

there's heists! there's hacking! there's lesbians! what more could you want!!!
trope graphic for the obake code. the cover shows Malia, a brown skinned woman with long locs dip-dyed green and dressed in a white top, black baggy pants, and black boots, stands with her arm raised looking overhead. above her are futuristic cityscape style towers, with pink and purple lighted windows and glowing neon signs. a futuristic flying car zooms by overhead. there is a white Hawaiian-style tattoo badge to the left, depicting scythes, a bow, geometric shapes, and axes. the text reads THE OBAKE CODE, with "code" in glowing neon. the cover is set on a background of a green vaporous nebula. the tropes read "2 heists 2 lesbians!" "-hacker voice, I'm in" "cyborg prize fights" "evil butch mafiosos!" "questionable physics!" "set three years after Hammajang Luck" "a standalone sequel in the heist lesbians universe" "street racing!" "starring Malia, our favorite cringe hacker." the release date is February 17th, 2026 and preorders are open now

This is what I've been working on all summer. It's my first book, called Escape Velocity: Explorations of Digital Culture and its Discontents 2019-2024. It's partially a retrospective of my time doing No Escape but it also features multiple revisions of old work and five entirely new essays.

While cleaning out my bookmarks today, found a link to my city's events calendar and noticed that there is a zine fest happening RIGHT NOW 👀 (It's also happening tomorrow too but like!!)

This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful.

Shakespeare: My good friends at Zeboyd Digital Entertainment LLC have crafted a Ye Olde English to New English translator. Imogen fights a giant plant monster in This Way Madness Lies. The magical girls explore a creepy otherworldly forest in This Way Madness Lies. There are a lot of cool characters traits you can equip to make your characters more powerful in This Way Madness Lies.

I always return to this tumblr post, so just like deleted tumblr user Maxwelllabs did in said post, I have drawn Squidward Rei Ayanami, and also attached the legendary tumblr post itself.
A drawing of Squidward dressed as Rei Ayanami. Text accompanies it: "When I have trouble drawing, I remember this old Tumblr post: 'i love being an artist because i can draw what the fuck i want. ya see that? thats squidward dressed up as rei ayanami. i dreamed it and made it happen. - Maxwelllabs, tumblr" A miniature screenshot of the original tumblr post is inserted below the text. The original post and drawing that inspired the previous drawing, captured in a screenshot from tumblr. From user Maxwelllabs, they state in their post: "i love being an artist because i can draw what the fuck i want" A loose, black and white line art drawing of Squidward dressed as Rei Ayanami is displayed, and then more text. "ya see that? thats squidward dressed up as rei ayanami. i dreamed it and made it happen"
