Malinda has been doing so much incredible work for the cause both behind the scenes & being a public figure for the right to read. Would love to see, I don't know, 10 donations to AABB in her name today. Be a great way to thank her for her work.

Here's another poster for the webinar done by the postgraduate chair of the webinar, Liu Benying (my PhD supervisee who is working on Ann Leckie's novels). I'm also deleting the other one because I completely forgot to put the alt text (sorry!)

This one has the time both in GMT+8 and GMT.

Okay, because I need to try and re-spark some writing community joy after… *gestures at everything* how about a revisit on a way you can absolutely support authors you love for zero dollars: by dropping a low-stress, three-sentence review somewhere.
