Uncertain Sons by @thomasha.bsky.social Compelling and thoughtful stories, with precise prose and layered characters. What I love most about these stories is the underlying complexity. Months after reading this collection, I think about it all the time. www.thomashawrites.com/uncertain-sons

Uncertain Sons — -TH-
Featuring stories of familial love and trauma; societal and technological anxieties; identity and class; and alternate near-future irrealities.

Here’s an excerpt from my new (prose!) book. It’s from the opening essay, which addresses 兔儿神/the Rabbit God, a queer deity from my home province of Fujian. But really it's a prose poem, an ars poetica, a manifesto. In Cahoots with the Rabbit God is out on Dec. 1. Preorder now: tinyurl.com/4mc6vnjf
DEAR RABBIT GOD,

I don't believe in suffering for one's art. I believe in frolicking for one's art. I believe in eating well for one's art. I believe in farting for one's art. I believe in making beautiful friends for one's art. And making plans with one's friends for one's art, I believe in this utterly. Especially when those friends hold you accountable to making your art, revising your thought, practicing your politics. I believe that my gaysian life is integral to my art and I believe that difference should be embraced, not shunned, not simplified. I believe that poems that love earthly difference alongside or even more than spiritual transcendence are better poems. I believe in falling wildly in love for one's art and for no reason at all. I believe in orgasming for one's art.

next up in Jen Rereads Her Own Damn Series, we've got Run With the Hunted 7: The Casino Job (I took a break from this because I was, y'know, writing Run With the Hunted 9) using #RWTH7 so you can mute the thread if you're not into it You can find it here: books2read.com/RunWiththeHu...
In the fast-paced, tech-heavy future, the City of Light is everything Bristol always knew it could be. But when she brings a new job to the table, stealing diamond-crusted endangered animal statues from an art installation at a casino, to her shock, Bits says no. Not without Dolly. Dolly, who Bristol hasn’t seen or spoken to since that night in Morocco.

Well, no matter. She hops on a flight to find Dolly and plead her case. It isn’t really a casino job after all; it can’t possibly be that serious, no matter Bit’s misgivings. They’ve handled a lot in their time together.

But her reception isn’t exactly warm, and while Dolly agrees to do the job for Bristol’s own good, it doesn’t feel as victorious as she expected. Bristol finds herself doing some uncomfortable soul-searching as the trio coordinates one of their biggest jobs ever.
