Just started reading it and the opening stopped me in my tracks.

Reading Mongrel by Hanaka Footman and finding out she also voiced Araj Oblodara in Baldur's Gate 3? Amazing

First time at a drag show and got to see Malaysia's Beyonce. So fun and witty.
As a bored teenager in a malaysian suburb in the early 2000s, i downloaded and listened to almost every album meticulously reviewd by George Starostin. glad to see the site is still kicking. starlingdb.org/music/index_...
Rewriting a novel that i have been writing on and off for four years now. Not giving up because i am still having fun with this story. I have a feeling writing has been hard because i haven't been reading as much. So i am trying to read more now too. Current read: Intermezzo #writing
Once in a while i think about this glorious scene in a better tomorrow 2 where Chow Yun Fatt advocates for respect for rice . There's some strong language

Painful realities depicted delicately in this movie. someone said no one cares that you are gay in Asia as long as you don't announce it. Or in the case of Angie and Pat, ask to keep the home you have shared with your partner of thirty years.

Exercising the writing muscle with Ursula Le Guin
an archival black and white photograph of the KKK marching in Washington DC with the capitol behind them
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202β¦

A woman stands under a light , on top of a table, strewned with papers.
Watched a play, "Poly", which unblocked my writer's block. Weird, funny, unnerving. Running until 16 February at DPAC.
Going to need everyone who wants to say βthe masters tools will never dismantle the masters houseβ to actually READ the Audre Lorde essay with that title. Itβs only 3 pages long.
I like how the things we are learning are stranger than any of the sci-fi books I read. Glass rain?
"An exoplanet the size of Jupiter has long intrigued astronomers because of its scorching temperatures, screaming winds and sideways rain made of glass."

Sometimes a scene just shows up in your mind when youβre writing, a little or a lot mysterious. I wrote about an exercise based on a common Tarot reading spread that can help you find the rest of the story. open.substack.com/pub/querent/...
Tiny painting inside an open pendant. Portrait of a young woman, obviously very wealthy, in a fancy dress, with dark hair worn down, in ringlets. She's looking sharply off to the side, and smirking. The whole vibe is very "Mona Lisa, if Mona Lisa was the life of the party".
Same painting, but now with an overlay. You can see most of her face, but she now has a dark moustache and long beard, and is wearing a thick dark cloak with a hood.
The overlay this time is of a nun's habit
First of all, has a person ever looked more mischievous? I wish I knew her.
Secondly, this is a miniature portrait from around 1660. It comes with overlays that allow you to change her appearance for fun. Filters from 500 years ago lol!
