I can’t believe I finally met @tananarivedue.bsky.social yesterday more than five years after being part of her speculative fiction cohort at VONA! It was during COVID so everything was virtual.

Also picked up a copy of her latest, the reformatory!

I’m writing about the juxtaposition of the suburbs of Houston, specifically Sugarland where my parents live. Just minutes from my kids summer camp is this sign and the burial ground. Writing about this is hard but necessary.

I’ve been wanting to write about this for years.

LA smog has leveled up to Delhi levels this morning. AQI at 300.

When I was in Delhi last winter, no one wore masks yet my relatives said that they just got used to it. I hope not to get used to this hellscape that I woke up to.

In my latest episode of All My Regret, I talk about how rage and Bollywood transformed me. Not always in a good way.
