New profile. Time to update #introduction post!

Hello! I’m STILL a tiny Hawaiian punk mom living in Stockholm who writes fun, imaginative, hard-to-categorize #SFF usually featuring #indigenous or #diaspora futurisms.

I DID find this to be a space to chat about #writing craft and crafting #craft #knitting #embroidery mostly at #WritersCoffeeClub and #FinishOrFrogAlong

But I’m also into #gamedev #indiedev and #godot now and looking to connect with folks in those spaces

I'm Islam from Gaza, and these are my students... They used to come every morning full of enthusiasm and hope. 📚✏️ Today, all that remains of the center is rubble, but their eyes still hold dreams.

Help us reopen the center, to give them a safe space to learn and live again. These young faces deserve a new chance... With your support, we will reopen the center that was their home and their hope.

There's a mother and daughter in my writing. I chose one name from a character on a television show. I chose the other from a human child I knew 20 years ago.

But unfortunately those names were Jasmine and Aurora and now I can't unsee what it looks like I did.

They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.

This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.

Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

We have reached a point where the simple act of opening a .md file in a native utility can compromise your system. Is nothing safe anymore? 😭

I hope more authors will lean into making recommendations of other authors books — art is subjective, so you never know if someone will like the book you loved, but at least they'll know *actual humans* wrote it, read it, loved it.

That helps readers navigate the sea of AI slop and we all win with that.

What books have you recently read that you loved?

A recent interview. I really enjoyed answering these questions.

We talk about the realities of neurodivergence, the invisible labour inherent in publishing, my opinions on ‘nature cure’, and why so much writing advice falls flat for so many (it travels well because it sounds confident, not because it’s accurate, and it often asks writers to distrust their own ways of working).
