Just think of all the cool points you’ll earn with the students though! 🤣

So enjoying the Analog/Asimov’s Artists and Authors Panel at City Tech SF Symposium! Next up, Carlos Hernandez!

Heads up: City Tech (CUNY) is having their free annual science fiction symposium tomorrow. I’m going to try to attend from 2 PM on. Hope to see some of you there! openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/scienceficti...

I don't think it was recorded because it was a less formal talk. But if I end up doing any other talks that are recorded, I'll be sure to share--thank you for being interested!

Huge thanks to the @uofglasgow.bsky.social Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic for hosting me for a talk about Dispelling Fantasies! Such great questions from the attendees. Anyone interested in fantasy literature should check out their programming.

Agree! And adding the entire sword and soul movement led by Charles Saunders and Milton Davis.

Thank you!

Snap! Criticism: Sanchez-Taylor and Onyebuchi Dan Hartland What should you read if you want to understand what you’re reading? Gang, this column would of course advise that you read criticism. But there are other, and less eccentric, answers. …

OMG! My first review for Dispelling Fantasies! Huge thank you to @danhartland.bsky.social for bringing my thoughts about genre into such a brilliant, nuanced conversation ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2025/11/12/s...

I know what I’m reading next!

I had a blast at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social! Thank you to all the organizers. Brighton was beautiful, and the panels were fun and informative. Leaving with a full heart and way too many books! 🤣

I have a message I can’t currently access because my account is giving me trouble. So if you sent me a message or if you want to meet with me at the World Fantasy Convention, please just tag me in a message.

Thank you!

This free conference on Latinx speculative fiction is going to be amazing! I'll be speaking Friday on Latinx fantasy and magical realism. Join if you can: latinxarchive.com/latinx-visio...

I will be speaking on the "Reading Something New" World Fantasy Convention panel at 12pm Friday. I would love to connect with some of the authors I reference in Dispelling Fantasies: @elizachanwrites.bsky.social @zenaldehyde.bsky.social and @tashasuri.bsky.social DM me if I can buy you a coffee!

Black Aliens: Kinship in the Cosmic Diaspora Explores the Black alien figure as constructed, imagined, and experimented on by Black writers, musicians, and artists to represent a cosmic diasporic experience.

Emergency ask. It is always so humbling and not in good way to constantly be in financial crisis, especially when I look at all the work that I do. We are at risk of losing our housing and need to come up with 3 months rent by the 1st, which is an impossible ask.

Thanks! I'll be discussing "Up in the Hills" in my Latino Lit class in two weeks. Can't wait for their reactions.
