Welp. The payment for my utilities didn’t go through so instead of owing 30$ I now owe 90$.
None of this would have happened if my freelance client had paid me.
Sighs. Help?

Do you all ever have the experience where you’re thinking about giving up on research and academic nonsense in general but then someone says something nice about your work and now you’re thinking, “damn, I have to keep writing and thinking!”?😅
@ancillaryreviewofbooks.org has been so supportive of my scholarship, please support their awesome mission if you can! www.kickstarter.com/projects/anc...
Amazing quote from @halalltakeaway.bsky.social's new novel Aicha: "...people who have only ever believed that they are superior merely by existing, that they are owed things they did not earn and can take what they want, they will never admit defeat." Don't miss this read!
I didn’t win a BSFA award, but I was so excited to hear my name and book title read during the ceremony! Thank you to everyone who nominated or voted for Dispelling Fantasies 🩷 m.youtube.com/watch?v=KAeV...

Just returned from @iafa.bsky.social's annual conference, ICFA. Such a great conference! For anyone who missed because of the location, the IAFA board heard your concerns and year 2028 is going to be in Warsaw, Poland! Also, I will post the CFP for VICFA, our virtual conference, when it is ready.
Thank you!

My grandmother immigrated to the mainland from Puerto Rico and refused to speak English. I never understood why until I grew up. It is her right as an American citizen to speak the language of her America, and I was proud to see that language celebrated yesterday.

The U.S . has had multiple spoken languages since its founding: Indigenous languages, Spanish, and African in addition to English. This country has many towns with Indigenous and Spanish names and yet acts like English is the only language that matters .
Dispelling Fantasies made @locusmag.bsky.social’s recommended reading list!!! So thrilled to have my work recognized alongside so many other amazing fiction and nonfiction recs! locusmag.com/2026/02/2025...
