Comic panel from the watchmen comic book series. A ghostly Dr Manhattan tries to reassemble himself in the military research base he was atomized in. A glowing circulatory system walks towards horrified workers in a kitchen. Caption reads "it's November 10th. There is a circulatory system walking through the kitchen..."

On this day, Dr. Manhatten first reappears after his atomized destruction in a lab accident. Happy November 10th to all who observe.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

An excerpt from my short story "Salt Slough" included in the anthology, Bandigoat: A Collection of Strange & Horrible Tales.

I wanted to write something unmoored, where every part of the story felt like I was walking on silty sand—a soft, precarious entrapment. Where every paragraph held a secret, just within reach. Where every voice felt like someone else, somewhere else. 👥🌿

Bandigoat: A Collection of Strange & Horrible Tales Out now!  edited by Rakesh Khanna 144 pages. 8.25" x 5.5". 300 g.Paperback ISBN: 9789380636788 Seven Indian authors. Seven stories of the eerie, the gruesome, the demonic, and the melty. Ever watched ...

"Salt Slough" is a story folded into an academic paper trapped into another story by the paper’s footnotes. It is a sentient lagoon. It is a researcher who sees beneath what their eyes show them. Not entirely by choice. Things bloom. Sometimes everywhere.

I’m so out of it, my self-promo has plunged into a ravine of nothingness, even while I had a brand new story come out exactly two weeks ago in @blaft.bsky.social's deliciously bizarre new anthology, Bandigoat: A Collection of Strange & Horrible Tales! So let me tell you a little bit about it. 👁️🌿

the item numbers do NOT hit if theyre formulaic and boring and the actor can barely dance.

watched thamma last night and dear god bollywood actors do not have even DECENT dancing skills anymore. im not faulting the more theatre trained/non star kid folks but you'd think the entertainer crowd would at least be able to shake ass a little bit. except i am BORED.

(the "oh it's not serious it's just a teen relationship" thing also was so funny when my cousin married her bf who she'd been dating since 7th grade)

my uncle: oh they only started dating i college
all of us in the know (including her mother & my parents): 😑

also my family is NOTORIOUS for looking the other way and pretending you are not dating anyone (as a teen, it was like It Isn't Going To Last Anyway You Better Keep It PG) UNLESS it becomes marriage serious. and then theyre like SINCE WHEN ARE U DATING THIS PERSON OMG WE NEED TO GET TO KNOW THEM.

like they just assume that "oh surely there must be a secret boyfie somewhere but u gotta keep it hidden and Keep Up Appearances" do. do they realise that this is nuts.

that is 100% what they mean but ALSO if u get found out u will be Punished like buddy WHAT ARE THESE MIXED SIGNALS. if u say one thing but mean another THEN SAY SO!

dont u know! u gotta do things according to their nutso timelines! you gotta produce a partner and babies outta nowhere!

that being said, i feel like, despite our parents' no dating expectations/rules, surely there must be room for secret dating!

Don't eat me bro

AAAAH

Gen AI doth remove commitment from art. Yf an artist ys committed to makinge somethinge trulye weirde, even shockinge, that artist doth neede to crafte the art, at everye steppe thinkinge, "Yes, Ich am drawinge a sexy C-3PO." Wyth Gen AI you kan make a sexy C-3PO wythout caringe, and that ys wrong.
