A few people have claimed that the "revoke some trans passports" in my latest story is "hyperbole" or "sensational reporting." The Trump admin in their 1st Circuit Court of Appeals has literally said they will do this if they win. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Check out THIS ARAB IS QUEER, an anthology that has @zeynjoukhadar.bsky.social a brilliant trans writer who generously blurbed my novel in it with others. Stop pinkwashing your orientalist fantasies of the bigotry of Arabs over their experiences.

Last week, the Smithsonian cancelled next month's 2023 Asian American Literature Festival (#AALF) without warning or explanation. Today I signed an open letter together with the partners, organizers, & participants of the festival to ask for accountability & answers. linktr.ee/aalfcollective

I could listen to @garthgreenwell.bsky.social write about literally anything all day long, but--particularly as I'm getting back into vocal training as a bass--reading him on opera is a special treat.

Okay y'all, last go around promoting this, but if you happen to be in the NY/Brooklyn area tomorrow, I'll be reading with some of the dopest writers around (game changers in the making!) at Unnameable books at 7pm! Hope to see y'all there for a night of mingling and verse! #author #authors

Since I’m here now, I figure this essay is a good introduction to my work and what I’m about. Took a year to write, tho some pieces were knocking around way back in 2019, I think. Sometimes things take as long as they take. electricliterature.com/my-transitio…
