I’m crying 😭💖

'Sorry We Missed You!' centers a restaurant spaceship specializing in delicious potato-based dishes. This story moves through memory, loss, love (and wondrous food) with such beauty and grace. I hope it gives you as much comfort on this bleary Tuesday as it has given me. 💚

My brain is currently vaporizing into fog, so I wanted to revisit one of my favorite stories of all time—“Sorry We Missed You!” written by the incredible Aun-Juli🖤 and pubbed in khōréō magazine. 🥔🛸🍜

Today is ✨pub day✨ for A SMALL APOCALYPSE, my debut short story collection!

It’s been such a joy to see my book find its readers leading up to this day. What a dream, truly. Thank you for reading and here goes nothing!🎢 🩷😵‍💫

A mega meta-list of all of the threads I've made re: Palestinian folktales and lore. 🫒🇵🇸🧿

Absolutely one of my favorite stories from one of my favorite people 🥹🙌🎉

With many emotions I am sharing Podcastle's special call for Palestinian stories ❤️
May we (Eleanor R. Wood isn't here - @erwrites.bsky.social and myself) hold every story that is sent to us with care & intention, knowing that this is a small act of solidarity in a big fight against imperialism podcastle.org/2024/03/08/spe…

my latest short story! 'Your Sword, Your Trumpet' is now free to read on The Deadlands ⚔️🎺

I have a story out in LIGHTSPEED today!!!!!! Wrote this one during Clarion Workshop with Clarion Ghost Class support ❤️
I consider it surrealist sci-fi! Or Afrosurreal futurism!!!❤️
Grateful for the words, worlds, & people I drew from to make this story possible lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/let-th…

BIPOC writers! Last day to submit!

No cool points subtracted for hitting that submit button right before window closes. In the past, some of our favorites have come to us on the last day!

The Apparition Lit team & guest editor Jordan Kurella would love to read your work.🤓

Hi book Twitter! We’ve not received enough middle grade author pitches for the Bronx Book Festival. I’ve hit a wall requesting some MG authors from certain publishers. Sooooo I’m coming to social to see if there are any MG authors who want to pitch themselves for programming

We are already absurdly close to funding, please pre-order these queer books so that I can make rash decisions about stretch goals. 🫣

What do any of you know of my Palestine? Of the late night queer parties in Ramallah? Of raves held in biblically aged buildings? Of lesbians in hijabs, of gay men in hoop earrings, of trans Palestinians dancing with joyful abandon?

Would love to work on one more story over the weekend. Thorough developmental edits, one slot available ✍🌌🦇
