Die-off Off Vancouver

⭐🐚 "you could be a cookie lying there, / photographed not on a beach but in a pastry case"

From "Die-off Off Vancouver" by ASU English professor Sally Ball.

Amidst all the terrible things we are still happy to begin the semester and continue the good work of our students and faculty.

Editing my (to me) epic Sisters of Mercy essay for the forthcoming @marchxness anthology and I'm reminded that I wrote this kind of for James Butler-Gruett, and I went pretty hard, I think! Give it a read: marchxness.com/copy-of-swee...

Shout out to "endemionada", who uploaded this Sisterhood-era Eldritch demo of This Corrosion without all the Steinman (which I fucking love to be clear, but this is a kind of banger electro track too): www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBsu...

Book cover for Ravishing by Eshani Surya! The cover is teal with a pink stripe running through the center. It says Ravishing on the top with a syringe for the first letter I. The bottom says Eshani Surya. In the center there is a ring light with an Indian girl's face in it; she looks fearful and intense.

COVER REVEAL ⭐

SO happy to share the cover for my debut novel, RAVISHING💄💉✨! It's a perfect look for a book about the beauty industry, trauma, chronic illness, and being brown.

Huge thanks to @roxanegay.bsky.social, @groveatlantic.bsky.social and the incredible designer, Kimberly Glyder!

A Brief History of Guerrero, a Tiny Cabinet by Aaron Cerda: the.tinycabi.net/2025/02/aaro...

"We want affirmation but dislike the people we become to get it. We doubt it when it’s real and clutch it closest when it’s fake." Just read this good essay by Thomas Dai in @yalereview.bsky.social from a couple years ago: yalereview.org/article/thom.... If you like this his first book just dropped!

I just cannot help but notice that this is exactly what writers/artists have been told about their dreams for decades if not centuries.
