I have a bunch of friends from Twitter joining Mastodon tonight so I made a quick guide to how the site works. Making it public so anyone can see/boost it if it's helpful. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

May we collectively breathe in the stardust she has left behind for luck, for strength, for fortitude and courage.
May we take comfort in the shade of her shadow, the vast mountainous legacy marking how she moved worlds.
May we, perchance, dare to dream as she did, following the wind in her wake that whispers to us all the wisdom of her years.

If you missed it the last half dozen times we've talked it up, #PitMasto is going to be a chance for authors with finished novel manuscripts and #wip to practice pitching their stories and (if we can get a few more publishers and/or agents participating) maybe get their stories picked up.

Details here: cuilpress.com/pitmasto/

Please boost & share, especially if you know any active #books hashtags we haven't used in previous #pitmasto toots.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone's pitches!

I've been doing squats and planks while catching up on my reading (squats for paperback only, though, bit challenging to hold open a book while doing planks, but alternating hands to swipe pages is like the equivalent of shoulder taps). Tell me I'm not the only one who pairs reading with exercise?

Hey so what have folks been reading lately? I'm working through Daughters of a Nation: A Black Suffragette Historical Romance Anthology and this one otome game because I'm done a critical dissertation and needed to salve my soul with some good brain candy.

So I edited this book of Southeast Asian steampunk two years ago, which you can buy to support small presses and small distributors: rosarium.bookstore.ipgbook.com
You can also get it cheaper in SEAsia itself! Also from a small distributor: gbgerakbudaya.com/bookshop/ind

EVERFAIR by Nisi Shawl is like a novel par excellence. People can't get into it because it is multiple POV (13 viewpoint charas, I counted) and like a series of short stories but that's really the best way of doing a truly multicultural novel--it has to be polyvocal; single viewpoints will fall short.

I made three pouches in as many days, taking a break before a fourth. .... then I will try to figure out if I want to continue because god this fabric stash is too much and needs to be dealt with.
