i am taking baby steps into non-fiction. currently: chronicling my life (and parents' lives) with birds. here is my father's first photograph ever, which he took of his pet pigeon alighted on his sister's head. it landed just before shutter click. #amwriting

“It is really hard to be lonely very long in a world of words. Even if you don’t have friends somewhere, you still have language, and it will find you and wrap its little syllables around you and suddenly there will be a story to live in.”

i love aina's dark recursion by @halfghaninNE. we need more mirror-people in fiction! they can all gaze at one another and fall in love with themselves <3 <3

"[...]she was almost entirely mirror, except for bits and pieces: the hair that she was always cutting and growing and cutting again. The scar under her chin from getting pushed off the playground equipment when she was seven. The palms of her hands and bottoms of her feet."

“Aina’s country mercilessly retracted its talons from the decades-sprawling occupation [...] The withdrawal was its own plague."

Read today's #FlashFiction, "Aina Mosaf" by @halfghaninNE, published one year since US's withdrawal from Afghanistan: https://t.co/pCLqejjJX1

@katalves18c because so many undergrad students make their way to fiction via sci fi, i think it would be great to include charles yu!

Calling all Language Fanciers!🎺🎵

"There are many animal fancy clubs and associations in the world, which cater to everything from pigeons to Irish Wolfhounds. Fanciers and fancierdom may collectively be referred to as the fancy for that kind of animal, e.g. the cat fancy."

@SamuelDeckerT @UAPoetryCenter @ArizonaMFA for the purposes of this fundraiser, i'd say these groups aren't meant to be seen as 1 uncomplicated "community", but rather as individuals to whom we non-Black settlers historically + continually owe stolen land+labor. and process-wise, we are redistributing funds to individuals

[Emi Noguchi 野口恵美 @emiafield]

hey @ArizonaMFA if you know anyone who'd like to redistribute $ to offset application-related costs for Black + Indigenous writers, will you let them know MFA App Review is running a 24-hr fundraiser? We could def use some support from established writers!!

[Emi Noguchi 野口恵美 @emiafield]

@SamuelDeckerT @UAPoetryCenter @ArizonaMFA v good pt. this is essential ongoing history, +particularly complicated when social status impacts one's legal status with their nation (and thus access to whatever resources might be attached to that.)
i'm reticent to speak on this all bc i haven't educated myself enough on it.

[Emi Noguchi 野口恵美 @emiafield]

Support Black and Indigenous writers today!! Send in $$ to offset MFA application fees!

[MFA App Review @MfaApp]

6 MINUTES LEFT til the fundraiser closes! we have a couple thousand in the bank, mostly in <$50 increments!

[Emi Noguchi 野口恵美 @emiafield]

[MFA App Review @MfaApp]

[Emi Noguchi 野口恵美 @emiafield]

Venmo is @mfaappreview under the business tab

[Emi Noguchi 野口恵美 @emiafield]

friends are you TIRED? would u like to support Black + Indigenous writers on their journeys thru the literary world? paying it forward is a v easy way to do that + today is the day!

plus, releasing a $ is actually v energizing. take care of ur spirit! take care of others!

[MFA App Review @MfaApp]

Applying to MFAs is EXPENSIVE! Being exhausted is ALSO expensive. Send some $$ support in the next 24 hrs to offset application costs for Black + Indigenous writers. Redistributing wealth is good for u. Deets in the image and description.
