Have you ever wondered what war rukwa di paw paw would sound like in English?

Just saying...

@architamittra !!! I hope you enjoy it!

I’ll make a better post soon, but if you saw this news about Amazon’s “AI” turning out to be just some underpaid Indians, my new novelette @strangehorizons (which I sold back in Jan) is live and goes into “ghost work”, cheap labor, and body horror gacha.

If you are feeling sad and hopeless that is completely understandable, but it's also a luxury we can't afford right now. Here's a list of some great organisations helping on the ground, just as a handy guide:

[Tor.com (Now at @Reactormag) @tordotcom]

We’re excited to share the cover for @Kerstin__Hall’s ASUNDER -- a thrilling, standalone dark fantasy novel forthcoming from @TorDotComPub in August 2024

[Seize The Press Magazine @SeizeThePress_]

Strange Horizons ran a special Palestine issue in 2021. Please read these stories. It won't help the current situation in any way, but Israel is intent on the genocide of the Palestinian people, and this includes their culture. Help keep it alive.

Hold the British Museum accountable for copyright and moral rights infringement and the erasure of feminist poet Qiu Jin! Let's do this together - please spread the word far and wide! #NameTheTranslator #QiuJin

@yilinwriter Yilin, I’m so sorry you have to deal with all this. 😡

[Yilin @ The Lantern and the Night Moths @yilinwriter]

Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

[Varsha Dinesh 🍉 @varshadineshs]

@emelkrishnan @diabolicalplots thank youuuuu for the amazing story!!

[Varsha Dinesh 🍉 @varshadineshs]

Read this twice with my heart in my mouth it was so horrific and so beautiful 💜

[M. L. @emelkrishnan]

My first short story in TWO YEARS just went live! It’s pride month and here I am with a harrowing, queer mess of a piece in @diabolicalplots that features lonely women, a boiling river, night roads, and the kind of violences that one cannot escape.
