MAKE AN OLD MAN HAPPY
Today is my 56th bday! My wish is that people do something loving for animals, their bodies, and the planet by having a #vegan meal and then sharing a picture and tagging me! Love,
Henry

A READER IN KYOTO
Reading Yukio Mishima’s startling “Kinkaku-ji” here at Kinkaku-ji. Too bad it’s so ugly here. What a dump.
Love,
Henry

10,000 YEARS OF STOMACH GAS!
#PeasproutChen is infuriated to death that the #Olympics committee once again failed to include Wu Liu, the beautiful and deadly sport of kung fu figure skating, in #MilanoCortina.

@Crowmaonwellth @BDHerzinger Proud of the Asian women rep’ing at #MilanoCortina and proud of #PeasproutChen!

SOMETIMES THE ASTEROID IS SMALL (AND WET)

My book about Eastern storytelling structures has been enjoying an interesting life.

[Henry Lien @HenryLienAuthor]

Now the Library of Congress is flying me out to speak about it and it’s longlisted or recommended for multiple awards (Locus, British Science Fiction Award, Nebula).

“THIS IS YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM USING AN OLD PASSWORD.”
This is my new mantra I came up with as a sort of self bio-hack. It’s been modestly life-changing.
Love,
Henry

Remembering my time at @BrownUniversity by studying my textbook from Chinese class. One of the gifts that Brown gave me was my own culture. Thank you, #BrownUniversity.

BAIT FOR AN INTROVERT
This guy does a lot of public speaking but he’s actually an intense introvert. But you know what bait can tempt him out? Talking and singing about his @wwnorton book #SpringSummerAsteroidBird and paneling at #WorldCon @seattle2025. Sked ⬇️.
Love,
Him
