Why do people keep getting my nationality wrong? From Instagram posts recommending me as a "Congolese author", to reviews in places like Reactor that misunderstand my work & say it has "a deep connection to Kenya". No. I'm Nigerian. My stories primarily connect to Nigeria.

I know that some people find it hard to believe but someone being awful isn't due to mental illness. There are plenty of people with mental illness that are kind. Please stop stigmatizing mental illness. Don't blame people's bad behaviors on mental illness.

"Our message though is that people living with
#LongCOVID face challenges every day. Helping them to avoid reinfection has to be central to our approach."
I love these daily insights into looking after people with Long Covid during Long Covid research.

Day 5:
Infection prevention and control is more than hand washing.
Wherever you stand on the ‘COVID-19 is airborne’ debate, preventing infection with anything is essential in our research. Hand washing and standing 2 metres away is not enough.

Reading 2024 fiction? Try the short story "On the Water Its Crystal Teeth" by Marissa Lingen! (@MarissaLingen ) You can read it in the eBooks now & on the website in December!
ALT The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 61, “Queen of Seven Kingdoms” by Julie Dillon: a queen sits on her throne in the center facing the reader with a smile, wearing a crown with a golden crescent and a pink-purple dress. She is surrounded and being cuddled by seven men of a wide variety of skin tones and hair color, all shirtless and with toned bodies. They also wear simple coronet bands, and the quote says, "I first found the boy down by the lake one autumn just as it was starting to turn cold. There were still a few leaves on the trees, but he looked up at me to show me a particularly brilliant scarlet one he’d found. His eyes were the deepest brown of the waters."
Supporting queer creators in the US is part of how you can say FUCK YOU to what's happening there right now. Also, you get cool stories. Win/win.
Somewhat absurd to be raising money for making a book amidst...all this...but if you'd like to help us put together a book of queer sword and sorcery, we are halfway to our goal and halfway through our campaign.

This week: One client project down, one more to go! Victory cookie pour moi!
Also I have a raging ear infection that feels like I'm being stabbed in the face. So tragedy cookie pour moi too.
Basically I just deserve cookies. #AmEditing
I'm so confused. Someone rang our doorbell just now, at 1:40am, left two cans of pop in a plastic bag on our front step, and ran away. Is this the new way to do doorbell pranks?? Do the youths leave apology snacks now?? Note to neighbourhood kids: I request Snickers next time.
"My first memory is of 9/11. I've lived through endless war, two economic collapses, and the return of actual Nazis. So this 'worst world ever' thing you see? It's the only world I've ever known. I'm not scared. I'm kinda ready to kick it in the junk." 💜 #LeverageRedemption
Truly do not understand how anyone could have watched even the first episode of #AgathaAllAlong and come away thinking it was anything but extremely queer. 😂
Dear hands: I am on a deadline for this client book. Now is not the time for you both to go numb on me. I still need to be able to type, okay? #AmEditing #Disability

RIP Abby (AKA Abbus Doggus, Professor of Bork AKA noodle AKA bean AKA nugget AKA best girl in the whole world), 2005(?)–2024. She loved, and was loved, so fiercely.

My dog is really not okay and I got woken up by the washing machine flooding the basement how is everyone else's 3am going
Props to my neighbour, who is sunbathing in 11°C/52°F weather by lying on the roof of his shitty car in starfish pose and blaring Cardi B's "WAP" for all of us to nod along to on this fine turkey day weekend
Editor here! My hot take is that while I would suggest "all right" for many types of nonfiction, I think "alright" is perfectly alright (har har) in fiction if the author prefers it and it's appropriate to the narrative voice (not an aged vampire or whatever). STET that shit.
And any editor who outright claims that "alright" isn't a word can go take it up with @MerriamWebster instead of pushing a personal pet peeve on authors and trying to pass it off as fact.
