ICYMI, my mythic realist novella about a boy coming of age in an extended family who may refugees from another reality, in a house in Calcutta that may be a dragons' nest. It won a British Fantasy Award and a Subjective Chaos Kind of Award, if that affects one's inclination to read it:
Out now: THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR, my uncategorisable novella out about Ru, a 'boy from nowhere' growing up in 90s/00s Calcutta, facing the impossibility that his family may be migrants from another reality, & Alice, a neighbour from Chinatown who is pulled close to their secrets.

I completely loved Tanya Tagaq's oneiromythic, blazingly poetic, autofictional SPLIT TOOTH when I read it, but somehow missed that Jaime Hernandez did the beautiful illustrations (or I didn't miss it, and forgot until now). Seems pretty obvious!

Always lovely to have a friend appreciate one's book 💙 Incidentally, Shreya has a gorgeous, transportive, haunting historical novel coming out about a courtesan-assassin from the Indian subcontinent sent to try and infiltrate Alexander the Great's invading army and kill him. Don't miss it:

Please help Mohammed afford treatment to save his injured brother's life. Palestinians have been left to die in Israel's ongoing genocide, & support has collapsed since the 'ceasefire':

In this month's newsletter, I return to Junji Ito's Tomie to talk through the familiar intersections of monstrosity, gender, identity, and the body that I find in the story

You can read it here:
Tomie Kawakami and Her Cordycep Children
The more time I spend with Tomie by Junji Ito, the more I think she's my favorite monster. Perhaps, upon completing my recent reread of the dense collection...

Many thanks to the moderator, Nileena Sunil, for doing a fine job. She also wrote a review of THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAAR when it first came out outside India that I appreciated very much:

Thank you to everyone who's shared & donated for their generosity. Support has slowed a lot, & Archita would be very grateful if you could help her reach her goal and some semblance of security in this terrible time.

Can we help this baby? Share around. And donate too if you can
Ghazal and her family are living in ruins; even their only shelter, made of canvas, has been destroyed by rain and wind. They are enduring the harsh winter and need our help to keep warm and secure food and clothing during the bitter cold

Are you fucking kidding me. All the more reason to loathe my smartphone if it comes preloaded with mfing surveillance spyware straight from my nazi government. There's a reason I barely use my phone.
India orders phone makers to preload devices with state-owned cyber safety app. Critics voice concern as government says its Sanchar Saathi app combats cybersecurity threats for 1.2bn telecom users.

I don't get paid from my new gig until 12/31.
My rent is going up by 33% simply cause my landlord CAN.
I've spent 1497.11 on car rentals (+1836.61 in rideshare) *just* since September trying to get to births and other gigs.

This last 11% can get me out of an expensive, poverty caused cycle.
👋🏿 I'm 3 years into a fundraiser to support my journey of becoming a midwife, I'm STRUGGLING to take these very last steps. Finishing the $7889 left on this campaign would secure essential transportation to get to births and let me connect the pieces of my training and commitment to community birth.
