A new "Tea or Coffee, Stars and Gravity" review, this time highlighting @crossingwinter.bsky.social @roxanellanque.bsky.social and Meg Candelaria (Buy a copy here - aanpress.com/aanorder.htm...)

Mostly really good, and certainly worth your time- maybe grab a coffee or a tea and pick up a copy of this book to enjoy.
There's a two or three stories I didn't really get on with, but there's enough variety here to please everyone.
Particular stand outs for me include Coffee or Tea? by Meg Candelaria, Oolong Eternal by Roxane Llanque, and The Worst Stardrive in Paradise by Celia Winter.

Almost every essay we publish is at least that long, often longer. People still enjoy deep reading & are looking for a good excuse to immerse themselves in something worthwhile—especially in a clickbait economy/world. Clickbait articles are cheetos & some of us still prefer a well-prepared meal 🤷‍♂️

I had the great pleasure to cover the world premiere of NARCISO at the #Berlinale for Latina Media. A unique, important film and rare look into queer #latino history. And it just won the FIPRESCI Jury award! latinamedia.co/narciso/

Berlinale Stunner "Narciso" Delves Into Sex, Rock n’ Roll, and Politics

"Narciso" is a timeless, quietly powerful film that meets the moment in tying the past with the present through the power of sound.

I finally have "Not Your Papi's Utopia" in my hands, a book I'm so proud to be part of! In our dystopian times I hope it can inspire some hope and challenge the power systems that want us to believe they are eternal.

Exhausted but so happy after the first block of our exhibition RAVEN about life with Long COVID. I contributed my poem THE DEMON ILL and two coresponding sculptures. I was touched by how many people came, how many wore masks to protect us, and most of all by my fellow artists and their brave work❤️

Important lessons from old books: "Victorian novels chronicle the terrible grief of losing children. Depicting the cruelty of diseases largely unfamiliar today, they also warn against being lulled into thinking that child deaths can never be inevitable again." theconversation.com/infectious-d...

Infectious diseases killed Victorian children at alarming rates — their novels highlight the fragility of public health today

Between 40% and 50% of children didn’t live past 5 in the US during the 19th century. Popular authors like Charles Dickens documented the common but no less gutting grief of losing a child.
