The poster for "Imaginarium II Dystopian Hope". The event's title is at the top, along with the date, 30th Nov 2025.

Below the illustration is the "Our sponsors" section, which lists the logos of the following organisations: Difference Engine Publishing SG, Liβl Factory, Writing Our Legacy, and British Fantasy Society.
This Sunday, @charsiewspace.bsky.social and I'll be speaking at @britfantasysoc.bsky.social's Imaginarium II. Our panel is Opportunities in Speculative Fiction, at 2:30pm (GMT). It's ten quid to attend, so we hope you'll join us! britishfantasysociety.org/events-calen...

Logging back in real quick to say that a great way to celebrate Halloween and spooky season in general is to admire @charsiewspace.bsky.social's amazing rendition of monsters (and enjoy also our neat wuxia/ western/ supernatural story). Get MR MEMPHIS now at charsiewspace.gumroad.com/l/xcvVQ
MR MEMPHIS is the first collaboration between myself and my WORK-LIFE BALANCE partner, @charsiewspace.bsky.social. At least one visiting artist to Singapore described it as "fucking awesome." It's going for just US$5, but it would be great if you paid more than that.

Baek Sehee, the author of I WANT TO DIE BUT I WANT TO EAT TTEOKBOKKI has passed away. She was 35.
The Korean organ donation authority reports that Sehee saved five lives through her donation of her heart, lungs, liver, and both kidneys.
The market alone cannot sustain good literature, and no literature will survive the collapse of the biosphere, something thinkable within generations. Not many art discussions, awards, takes will help us escape the machine, but more of them should stick in the gears, and fewer should grease them.
Also, yesterday's derided pop culture is tomorrow's high culture
