The big 50 looms! Saturday.

And the book of my writing path... is released into the wild.

Joyce (Wolf) Chng/Ch'ng 🐺 @jolantru.bsky.social · Feb 22

1st March is next week!

Wolf's Path is a collection of my stories from the start of my writing path until now. I turn 50 this year.

The collection is unapologetically queer & trans & joyful and angry & painful.

This sounds interesting!

A Mexican x Chinese inspired 🚀adventure where three lonely children must fight a ruthless bounty hunter, outsmart a galactic corporation, & stop squabbling in time to save the Cicatariz, a shapeshifting, sentient weapon disguised as a young girl—all before their parents find out. #DVPit #MG #SFF

Very cool!

What starts out as a simple investigation into one lost ship spirals into more than Dera bargained for: a scavenger hunt for artifacts holding ancient tech, a rescue from an all-consuming corporation, and a conflict that endangers the station that is Dera’s home. #DVpit #A #SF #OWN #TV #LGBT #ND

I loved today's story from @yokai.com.

Matthew Meyer (The Yokai Guy) @yokai.com · 11h

They say that plants have feelings, but this is not new news. Tonight's A-Yokai-A-Day confirms that even back in the Edo period, plants were expressing their feelings in all kinds of ways!

Of course, I am tempted to get either 1) a stiff drink or 2) a dessert-type thing.

For comfort food level of stuff.

Conversation from last night's Banned Book Read-In:

💗: I can't remember, why was that book banned?

💙: I feel like it was an m-word? Either marijuana or masturbation.

💗: Well, there was definitely masturbation.

💙: Which teenagers definitely wouldn't know about unless they read about it in books.

@ericderoulet.bsky.social discusses the nature of totalitarianism as depicted in @premeemohamed.com's One Message Remains collection in this new (free!) essay... kinda feels timely...

www.speculativeinsight.com

Purple background, white text, which says ... the imperial system is propped up by ideological frames that rationalise and valorise the wants of the core while dehumanizing those living on the periphery. Such rationales are recorded by and embodied in Tzajos in the novella One Message Remains... "Lives Under Empire: Imperial Subjugation and resistance as depicted in One Message Remains by Premee Mohamed" -- Eric de Roulet

#DVParty day 6: my WIP is a Chinese mythology inspired middle grade like my Weavers of Legacy and Fate duology (out now!), though it’s a different genre. I just finished the first draft but here are some out of context inspo pics

Golden statue of the goddess Guan Yin with multiple arms and heads

Credence Clearwater Revival’s disastrous final album MARDI GRAS. The album art is brown and shows a girl in a dress holding up a tambourine with the title, while the band name is in a circle around her.

Screenshot from the 1960s Batman show with Adam West, showing Batman standing in front of the ocean and holding a large black bomb with the subtitles: “Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb.”
