I first watched this show circa 2013. It felt prophetic then. Come 2026, more so. It merited a rewatch, hard thinking, some sleuthing & an essay. So thank you @typebarmagazine.bsky.social for helping me disseminate my output on the best(?) iteration of Ghost in the Shell. ▶️🎧 Rise, Origa

It never rains but it pours! Proud as ever to be @asiancha.bsky.social, this time reviewing something very new for me - writing from Tibet. So thank you to Woeser, and to all her translators, publishers, editors, and real life characters who are the stars of her writing, IMO.

What a blast to be published once more in @bigothermag.bsky.social - and with some quotes from a few fantasic up and coming literati ~ To sum the book in question up with a few emojis: 🌊🌳🍄🌀 🐆🐋⛺🇹🇼🐦⛵🌪️ Yes that was more than a few, but nature is abundant is it not? bigother.com/2026/05/11/o...

Throwing this out to whoever may be reading. What's your experience with Ghost in the Shell?

Hilarious to see Bluesky fawning over this.

A happy writer is me, to be in @asiancha.bsky.social reviewing Kit Fan's new novel. Read on for musings bouncing off Boris Johnson, baozi class war, and the pains of being a sister-mother. Plus where to get a spam croissant in Stockport 🥐 chajournal.com/2026/03/08/g...

New in @asianreviewofbooks.bsky.social: My review of a female bildungsoman of sorts set in Shenzhen (and elsewhere!) amid China's shift to a market economy. Morality, class, and decency are pondered. The word “money” appears 57 more times than the word "life". asianreviewofbooks.com/my-destiny-b...

Hi new followers! Am here in lieu of a place for lit that isn't 🧟‍♀️ified I ran the Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast for 5 years - after hiatusing it I have focused on 1️⃣ writing weird stories 2️⃣ reviewing Chinese/Sino books 3️⃣ other odd writings Would love to talk. Life is finite so why not?

What a ride. A strange dream. A bad dream. An intense dream. And all too real. This book goes incredibly hard - read it 🇭🇰

Blissed out to be published by @realneondystopia.bsky.social! Blissed out and dissolving into dream, as in my story: Desire to Feel Nothing ♾️ www.neondystopia.com?p=100043485 It's based on my experience inside a sensory deprivation tank - may it make you feel like you are floating too

I had totally forgotten that back in 2019, @flashfictionnorth.bsky.social published my wee story 'East Coast West Coast'. This is a good one for dog owners and people who enjoy tasting bittersweet memories. www.flashfictionnorth.com/fictionarchi...
