1/X: My Writings, A Thread: Quill & Still was my Amazon debut. It has cracked eggs, made trans girls cry in yearning, and made 80y/o men enjoy litRPG. It's cozy queer slice-of-life portal fantasy about a middle aged Jewish (OTD) burned-out chemist and a kinder world. www.amazon.com/Quill-Still-...

A book promotional picture for the novel Quill & Still by Aaron Sofaer. The cover has main character Sophie Nadash gazing out over the grasslands at the village of Kibosh, with firebirds in the mid-distance. Arrows point from the cover to "Take a vacation with a portal fantasy", "OUT NOW!!!", "TOO many gods!", "Cozy queer slice-of-life fantasy", the alchemical squared circle graphic with the text "Alchemy!", and a 1-star review of the book that reads "Communist gay wish fulfillment. I'm out" with two upvotes and 69 downvotes.

I’m having a launch party for my debut novel! My former college professor offered to host an event at my university for the release. It means so much that they’re excited about my book & still want to support me, even though I graduated in 2020 🥹 #booksky #writesky #authorsky #writingcommunity

Just saw my first carpenter bee of the year. They are massive. I thought it was a hummingbird because it came right up to my window as the hummingbirds like to, but this one was slower and a bit smaller than a hummingbird...and black, shiny, and shaped like a bee, 😆. So delightful.

"The Tarantula Hawk – Experts agree that the best way to handle the sting of the tarantula hawk is to lie down and scream. This wasp that preys on tarantulas is thought to have the world's 2nd most painful sting." Our planet is amazing...and not only for humans.

Won't be checking that Meta database to see how many of my works have used to train AI. I have been getting pirated for, like, EVER. Nothing new, nothing I have ever condoned. All I can do is keep being me, evolving, growing and playing. AI cannot catch me. It'll always be ten steps behind.

This was my response in The Guardian 3 years ago when I was asked if my work was a response to the prevalence of whiteness in science fiction. I’m totally patting “January 2021 Nnedi” on the back. Yes, Nnedi. So much yes, 🙌🏾 :

My worlds are African worlds. I'd love to take credit for the culture that is in my worlds' DNA, but I can't. Those cultures existed long before me;I didn't have to imagine them. And my stories certainly don't exist because white male (or female ... let's not forget that white female perspectives also dominate female perspectives in science fiction and fantasy) perspectives refused to imagine them first. My stories aren't a " to whiteness. They exist wholly outside of white-male-anything. These stories that come from my own culture, experiences, from within me, from reflections of specific African cultures. By existing, I'd hope they help bring cultural, ethnic and gender balance to science fiction and fantasy, but that is not my work's reason to exist.

I can't normally drink sparkling water. It tastes hatred had a baby with despair and I just can't get with it because it's just bitter (most likely due to the carbonation). HOWEVER, being on this liquid diet thing today, I added a wee tiny bit of sugar to it and OMG IT'S NOT BAD.

Just want to remind everyone that the EEOC is investigating law firms for the crime of hiring women and minorities, and has opened up a tip line for anyone who wants to rat on them: lawfirmDEI@eeoc.gov I’m sure many of you have important information to share with the agency.
