It exists: TELL ME, KENYALANG, a book of poems written in Malay and seven indigenous languages of Borneo by Kulleh Grasi and translated by Pauline Fan. We couldn't be more thrilled to bring this brilliant work into the world: https://t.co/gbK0RywyKd

Same thing happened to me when the Davao City Public Info Officer & his audience bashed me online for my criticism of the Dutertes in my column. Nobody gave official & actual support. But when I went to #GTLF2018 in Malaysia, PEN International & others offered support.

To know that an accomplished writer like Sjón saying that it's okay to write as little as you can—not because you lack discipline but because you don't want to hurt yourself—is a relief. Thank you, @Sjonorama. Thank you, @GTLF_Penang. #GTLF2018 #amwriting #writerproblems

A literary festival ends—I am renewed. I met @Sjonorama, the brilliant novelist and storyteller. Sjón is also an Oscar nominated lyricist and collaborator to @bjork who co-wrote songs in Dancer In The Dark, and tracks like Jóga, Bachelorette, Oceania and Virus. #GTLF2018

Thanks to the organisers of Georgetown Literary Festival in Penang, Malaysia. Penang is the San Fransisco of Malaysia. This photograph of Ye Mimi, a Taiwanese poet with Poetry Tarot Cards, sums up the spirit of writers amongst writers. #GTLF2018

With an incredible grp of writers, revolutionaries, deep-knowers and dream seeders, discussing the embodied, time & earth-bound, yearning, power rupturing stories of intersectionalities. Including those x in pic. Beyond words. Anthony Chong, William Yang & tagged. #GTLF2018

:: We are all complicit in silencing queer realities & lives, when we fail to hear, to defend, or find shared resonance in what makes us humans :: Privacy & expression are both critical in dignity & autonomy #GTLF2018 #LGBT

:: Spaces for creative expressions - from the literary section of mainstream papers, to the theatre stage, to poetry performance spaces, to websites & more - can be a more expansive space for encounters of deeper understanding. & must be made, defended #LGBT #GTLF2018

:: Self censorship comes from the high cost of speaking abt that which is outside of the norm - coming out, in many layers, is an on-going & gradual process as we find safe spaces. #GTLF2018
