had a Jude Law year, where a lot of stuff I wrote over the course of 15 years came out all at once

Relatedly, I don't know who this anonymous Amazon reviewer is, but the line "I now know how a fly feels when it gets eaten by a chameleon" is outstanding poetry. Anonymous reviewer, please submit some poems to Strange Horizons if you're not already doing that.

minor autobiographical fact is that my kid sister and I constantly pretended we were in Jurassic Park, but in our AU:
(1) there was a velociraptor who just wanted to sing opera
(2) he wore a curly blond wig as a disguise
(3) Lando would hang out with him

For me, it's probably my poem 'To Be the Change', which was released this spring from @strangehorizons.bsky.social! This was my first explicitly trans piece to enter the world; it tackles familial expectations and ancestral prophecies through a fantasy lens.
