My slipstream love story set in a night at a club that never ends is available now at khōréō magazine! It’s about memory, music, & the feeling of being lost on a dance floor chasing something you can almost remember. This was a hard/personal story to write that I love. Check it out!

I have an update about this coming soon as well. (Some good news for once.) Please keep an eye out later today and boost.

I think a lot of white liberals don’t realize that they are deeply invested in making white privilege more ethical rather than eliminating it. This is why “respectful, authentic, cultural appreciation” has such a halo around it.

Here's a video showing they stole my FULL translation of "A River of Crimson: A Brief Stay in the Glorious Capital" by Qiu Jin and used it in a giant visual display at the exhibit without permission. How can you "innocently" take a 23-line poem translation xhslink.com/8z74xr

I'm so grateful & honored that AFRICA RISEN featuring 32 original short stories by 33 wonderful writers from Africa & her diaspora received the 2023 Locus Magazine award for Year's Best Anthology! Thank you Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki & @AuthorZKnight 😍🌍 locusmag.com/2023/06/2023-l…

Thank you Art Net for reporting! (Also I am interested in chatting but don't recall hearing from you or maybe I forgot - please reach out again) news.artnet.com/art-world/brit…

“When I tell people that I feel like I’m the mother of a ghost, they laugh.” A beautiful & introspective piece by Thomas Ha-thomasha.bsky.social that spoke to me as an expat in deep & unexpected ways (mom’s POV! 🥺). The type of story hard to find elsewhere but khōréō magazine’s here to tell. ❤️

Please feel free tag any groups you would like to see a statement from - remember this sets a really dangerous example for all writers, translators, and creators in the UK, and beyond. What if another museum just takes your work without permission and refuses to even credit you?

My publisher Invisible Publishing has just let me know that my upcoming book of translations (which features Qiu Jin's work) is #5 on the Amazon bestseller list for "Chinese poetry"! Thank you so much for supporting Chinese poetry in translation! 🥹

OMG! We have passed the 33% mark! Let's do this and hold the British Museum accountable and teach them that they must respect the labor of writers & translators! Please continue spreading the word about this fundraiser and consider donating if you can
