The big 50 looms! Saturday.

And the book of my writing path... is released into the wild.

Joyce (Wolf) Chng/Ch'ng 🐺 @jolantru.bsky.social · Feb 22

1st March is next week!

Wolf's Path is a collection of my stories from the start of my writing path until now. I turn 50 this year.

The collection is unapologetically queer & trans & joyful and angry & painful.

I would like to have a tattoo of the wolf in Wolf's Path done on me --- but my tendency to scar and grow keloids might stop me from doing so.

First look/edits done.

I like the notes - but I will be trying to keep to my voice.

So: my dad is being discharged to go home to recover with a nurse to administer the antibiotics injections daily.

I like the fact that two Naks are side by side, framing the xenomorph.

Always wondering if the xenomorphs have karmic cycles and stories of redemption and enlightenment for them.

Also an amazing example of Ajarn Amorn's art!

Thaoworra @thaoworra.bsky.social · 7h

Detail from the Laomagination Patreon's discussion of Southeast Asia and the Vietnam War metaphor in Aliens & how we would treat the questions xenomorphs raise in our encounter with "non-human" possibilities of being and who defines that esp. within Buddhist gestalts.

US arts & media are so dismissive of conversations they COULD have if they let SEAsian voices chime in with our perspectives on nothingness, reincarnation & consciousness, karma & dharma, violence & duty and cycles of repetition in the cosmic void, the fate of colonizers & capitalizers. Missing out!
