Oh I missed that @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social release, looks SO GOOD

And whatever you, that is, your friend, end up writing, I will be happy to read it.

Hi back! Yeah, I am not on social media a lot.

Can you, I mean this other person, write an intimate story that takes place within a big cinematic space opera?

My son came home CRYING. Teacher told him: 'Your book report on Nnedi Okorafor doesn't count. Pick a REAL author.' I was at the principal's office in 20 MINUTES. 'Nnedi won the HUGO AWARD. Define REAL! Principal sided with the teacher. I pulled my son out. HOMESCHOOL now. Best decision EVER. He just finished book 15. All African authors. His confidence?

Someone just tagged me to this viral post on Threads.

I’m feeling rage.

Oh no, I'm sorry you've been going through this!

Oh! So they lied!

There are a lot of other things that you can do to stop death camps from being constructed but this is a real-name account. I'm sure you can read accounts of WWII and dystopian fiction to find out what some of them are.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

Le retrait d’un drapeau arc-en-ciel d’un site historique à New York provoque l’indignation Le monument national de Stonewall commémore les émeutes du même nom qui se sont déroulées en 1969 à la suite d’un raid policier dans le Stonewall Inn, un bar gay de Greenwich Village, à New York.

Le retrait d’un drapeau arc-en-ciel du site historique de Stonewall dédié aux droits LGBT+ à New York, en raison de règles adoptées par l’administration Trump, a provoqué mardi l’indignation du maire démocrate et de plusieurs organisations, qui ont appelé à manifester.

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

Again, for anyone who needs help articulating the fact that the BBC is routinely using fake-scientific language to express bigoted views while pretending they're being neutral...

Five points on an invisible line: Family, Love, and Fighting Fascism - ImaginAtlas After several years of anticipation, the sequel to Su J. Sokol’s Cycling to Asylum (which has received a new edition under the title Invisible Lines) is finally here. As someone who absolutely adored ...

Thank you ImaginAtlas for this detailed and thoughtful review. I also love the title: "Five points on an invisible line: Family, Love and Fighting Fascism."

I've always found @cycling2asylum.bsky.social's books read like real life through a science fiction paradigm.
Must be the #bicycles!
Go to xyr profile page and read reviews, interviews & more. These are great books (and thoughtful, too) to recommend for #EBookGifts.

Thanks, Paula! That is very kind.

I sent a message on your website.

Thank you. How should I reach out to you?

It's a small independent publisher, but yes, the book is traditionally published.

Any interest in books that just came out in fall 2025?

Book promo post. Background colours are alternating shades of orange and blue, with a distressed texture. Two books are featured: Invisible Line and Five Points on an Invisible Line, both written by Su J. Sokol. Invisible Line is split diagonally, with the opposite corners showing skyscapes of Montreal and the title at an angle between the two corners. Five points shows the same city views, but on the opposite corner than depicted on Invisible Line. A cyclist pedals through the centre of the book, through the title, which is again at a slant.

A fantastic interview w/ Su J. Sokol @cycling2asylum.bsky.social at Interstellar Flight Magazine! @lisatimpf.bsky.social
