Summer Vacation Founded in 2012 by Dallas Hudgens, Relegation Books works to connect readers and writers on a smaller, more intimate scale, understanding that success isn't always measured by sales numbers.

“A very fortunate thing happened to me this summer. What it is, I can’t say yet—I’m writing as if it has already occurred, but the truth is it hasn’t.”

Read new fiction by Daisuke Shen (@daijoubu.bsky.social) on R&R:

telling homura of madohomu: maybe you could go back and stop 9/11 instead or something she thinks for an instant and goes back to 1973. "Presidente Allende!!"

happy 9/11

The Executioner | Daisuke Shen Which one was the executioner? For there must be a sense of justice, a purpose. One who is good, the other bad.

She was under no illusions that he loved her—but will she surrender? In “The Executioner,” an affair takes a surreal turn over a dinner of octopus.

This means a lot, we really felt like this debut collection by @daijoubu.bsky.social was special 🥰

This is really special for us, so happy for @daijoubu.bsky.social this is a special debut

Today it felt urgent to me to make a post but now that I’m here I’m not sure what to say

As a follow-up to my earlier David Wojnarowicz post, here's something to keep in mind in coming years: a statement from Wojnarowicz—relayed by artist Zoe Leonard—about the importance of embracing beauty in difficult times (via @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social's "Orwell's Roses" bsky.app/profile/rebe...)

Daisuke Shen Life doesn’t make sense to us, disastrous and uncomfortable events happen suddenly, and without warning. It only makes sense, then, that stories should do the same.

spoke w @daijoubu.bsky.social about machines, the future, and their great new collection of stories from @clashbooks.bsky.social www.full-stop.net/2024/12/03/i...
