Pain folded him against the concrete.
His breath faltered as he reached for a dented gold watch—its ticking louder than his heartbeat.
“Guess I won’t be going on that vacation.”
He inhaled, eyes shut, exhaled… then opened them once more—finding himself in a place and time long since forgotten.

Time for a 3 good things update!
1. Riding a nice river of opportunities at work...
2. Daydreaming about pitching my novel series to Mira Nair to direct... (novel #3 is almost done!)
3. Wondering if I am brave enough to read my novels at the Fringe Festival in Vancouver... and yes, I could be.

This week’s vlog post is about how I choose the books I read. I use reading to shape my thoughts and feelings, to help me dissociate in useful ways, to keep me connected to possibility. The camera is really wobbly, sorry! I am enjoying this vlog project.

I mentioned Walidah Imarisha in this video, too. Her definition of visionary fiction has been really helpful for me. She writes about it here - https://exterminatingangel.com/what-is-visionary-fiction-an-interview-with-walidah-imarisha/

@Tiffany Oooo I love all this! I have been quite ill with little cog so haven't been able to read much new fiction (re-reading old favs, or nibbling on mircofiction toots).
#visionaryFiction is a lovely phrase I hadn't heard it before.
I will be following your toots with interest. We definitely need to be telling ourselves more hopeful and empowering stories.
Dank »I Want a #BetterCatastrophe« (2023) von #AndrewBoyd aufmerksam gemacht worden auf »Octavia’s Brood. Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements« (AKPress, 2015) Anthologie von #adriennemareebrown und #WalidahImarisha. Was für eine Schönheit!

<p>Whenever we envision a world without war, without prisons, without capitalism, we are producing speculative fiction. Organizers and activists envision, and try to create, such worlds all the time. Walidah Imarisha and adrienne maree brown have brought twenty of them together in the first anthology of short stories to explore the connections between radical speculative fiction and movements for social change.</p>
