I moved servers so I’m going to do another #introduction! I’m Anne, I am a #writer of #MiddleGrade #Fantasy. I love talking #kidlit #books #writing #SFF #literature #VegetarianCooking, and looking at all your pet photos. I like listening to smart people talk about things, so I’m really enjoying it here.

The folks at Transformative Works and Cultures will host a special issue on "Fandoms and Platforms." If you've got something that might fit, consider submitting!

Papers Due: Jan. 1, 2023.

Octavia Butler’s middle school in Pasadena has now been named after her. First school in the country to use her name (hopefully not the last!). #ScienceFiction #Blackwriting

A Pasadena school is the nation’s first named after Octavia Butler — and it’s her alma mater

The late science-fiction novelist hoped to broaden the horizons of Black children. Her former junior high has a STEAM focus and serves more than 90 percent students of color.

Hi! I’ve joined Mastodon as part of the #TwitterMigration. I’m a #kidlit & #comics #academic best known for Was the Cat in the Hat Black? & my biography of Crockett Johnson & Ruth Krauss.

Hello Mastodon, I'm Nina, an #archaeologist, specialising in #Roman and #Greek #archaeology. Currently I'm the head of the archaeological department at the Landesmuseum Württemberg in Stuttgart, but soon new adventures lie ahead as the permanent representative of the director of the Archäologisches Landesmuseum Baden-Württemberg.
And I like Star Trek! 🖖

Hiii, everyone! I'm based in Vancouver, BC. I'm the book reviews editor for #EVENTMagazine, which covers Canadian literature and I write the occasional review for other venues. I also publish Plain Pleasures, a newsletter recommending books and featuring my amateurish drawing.

I'm interested in #books (small press publishing, translated lit, literary fiction, poetry, and memoir), #cycling, #film, #candy, and probably more? Looking forward to meeting you!

A little disappointed that we're using #AcademicMastodon. #AcademicFedi or #AcademicToots when #Macademia was RIGHT THERE.

Hi everyone! Just want to do another intro because I got an influx of followers the last few days. Welcome & nice to meet you~

I am a writer, poet, and literary translator. I spend a lot of time these days thinking about wuxia (loosely translated as martial arts) fiction, non-western narrative structures, Classical Chinese poetry, folklore, unofficial histories, c-dramas, language learning, and equity issues within the fields of publishing and translation. #writingcommunity #writer #translator
