hi so everything is being complicated by my invisible disablities, and i am finding it hard to keep my head above water. i would love to find points of exchange with people with disabilities who write to survive. any advice, pointers, venues and anthologies to submit to, would be greatly welcome.

New to Bluesky! Yes, late to the party. Best time to announce that my short story ‘Of All Who Dream’ appears in @lightspeedmagazine.com this August! It’s a tale that tries to peer beneath the hood of what makes up consciousness and reality. Get epub: www.lightspeedmagazine.com/issues/light...

Image of the cover for ZamaShort #14 'Descendants of Balance' by Rafeeat Aliyu
And text:
“‘Descendants of Balance’ is a perfect serving of Rafeeat Aliyu's unique storytelling alchemy. The heft of the Forest as a living thriving organism brought a folktale thrill to this tale about the equilibrium expected of those who live between worlds. It centres textured characters while never forgetting the cinema and magic of their fantastic worlds, lineages, and origins. This story draws on precolonial history and indigenous myth to reveal a world wholly new, yet familiar as childhood. We found ourselves caught up in the unfolding of Oronsen's survival, in Lakange's strength and love, in the mystery of the iwin.”
— Dare Segun Falowo, author of Caged Ocean Dub.

From myth-soaked villages to haunted futures, Caged Ocean Dub weaves a chorus of girls, gods, ghosts, and glitching timelines. This genre-bending collection of speculative fiction draws from African cosmologies, surreal horror, soft sci-fi, and spiritual mythmaking

Yeyo Digital and acrylic on paper 2012 ---- One of my faves from the archive. It set the stage for how I see & envision my paintings. Embodied, archetypal, ancestral, futurist, jewel tones anchored in the dust and browns of the earth, mythological. Inspired by Erkyah Badu's Yeyo (and mom trauma lol)

A femme tree goddess rises from the waters and lands. Her legs are composed of tree roots, her dress emulates the shape of the vulva and vagina. The dress folds and curtains transform into a veil that bisects the figure. Tree branches emerge from the crown and head, and house a glowing sun.

it's not too late for us to migrate towards new modes of guidance and leadership, but it currently seems easier to breathe underwater than it is to imagine a new world.

Dare @dsfalowo.bsky.social · 06/11/2024

in my mind, this is a time for us to see just how bad things can get in terms of the type of cold power our 'leaders' have over us.

Dare @dsfalowo.bsky.social · 06/11/2024

the general tone of global leadership seems more slippery, and 'off' than it has ever been. or maybe it's social media exposures letting us see just how bad we've always had it with men in power.
