The Bisclavret retelling GOT me 😂 And oo, I read their Haunted History of Invisible Women at your recommendation a couple years ago and it was great! I am not immune to gothicism (both thematically and aesthetically), so this new one looks extra exciting

I've been able to read a bunch of these for work and boy howdy, you are in for so many treats!! Also I didn't know about America's Most Gothic and that is going directly on the TBR

Rebecca Roanhorse (me!) holding the Hugo for Best Series.

Yooooo! Guess who won a Hugo for Best Series!!! Thank you to each and every one of you who voted. You made a difference and I will be forever grateful. Now let me catch this 6:30 AM flight and head on home and back to work. Had a blast #worldcon #concurrentseattle . Let’s do it again sometime.

yayy! :3

Ayy, so glad they got there safely! 💛

recommended pairing for these stickers: Kara's post about crabs and gender bsky.app/profile/auth...

It is making me unwell (complimentary). Thank you for writing your good words!

Whatever topics you're looking for in YA, there's a good chance they're actually being published. They're just being done by marginalized authors and you're not reading them. But the fewer people who read and promote those books, the less likely we are to see them again. Read more widely!

truly the moment that commissions are done, the medieval french tapestry references are coming out and I am DRAWING

the YEARNING, the MEDIEVALISM, the werewolfism as an analogy for chronic illness, the romance (chivalric and otherwise), the luscious prose, the poetry chapters!!

squad, I haven't even finished this book and it's already my top read of the year

i love you beginner artists. i love you even if you're trying to learn art in your 60s. sharing your art can be scary if you are new to art and learning, but don't ever let mean people stop you.

your art is important and beautiful because it's yours. keep creating, now more than ever.

What Is Queer Generational Trauma, and How Do We Tell Stories About It? Lately, I've been obsessing over the concept of queer generational trauma: the pain passed down to us from our ancestors, which we bequeath in turn to those who come after us.

"There’s the gagging ouroboros of history... you’re beating your fists against a wall that bears the indents of countless fists, going back forever."

Over in Autostraddle, I write about queer generational trauma: how it works, and how to tell stories about it.

a Norwegian king crab

Cis people being weird about trans people makes me think about king crabs.
Bear with me for this one because it will make sense.
You know king crabs, right? Giant crab, lives up north, has long legs, very expensive and tasty, featured on many a mukbang
Did you know they are technically not crabs? 1/

digital art of Dr Mensah from Murderbot. She stands in profile, head turned towards the viewer, an inscrutable expression on her face. An outer space backdrop is behind her

"It was starting to occur to me that Dr. Mensah might actually be an intrepid galactic explorer"
Can we talk about how BRILLIANT Noma Dumezweni was in Murderbot??
