This just in: Dystopian science fiction will no longer be sold or streamed in the San Francisco Bay Area or Silicon Valley due to the high risk of it inspiring new tech startups. #tech #scifi

I also run a small Asian American theatre, Pork Filled Productions.

http://www.porkfilled.com/wp

We center Asian American theatre artists and we do genre work: SF, fantasy,, steampunk, noir.

Our last show was SHE DEVIL OF THE CHINA SEAS, a mashup of Conan/Red Sonja with the real life figure of Ching Shih, who assembled the largest pirate fleet in history...and got away with it.

Fascinating article on gender bias with the new AI avatar generator Lensa (and on algorithmic bias in general)!

I stood there taking photos of the terns diving for fish for well over an hour, waiting to get "that perfect shot" with the tern perfectly vertical. This photo was not Photoshopped other than cropping. #photo #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birds #birdphotography #birdsite #tern #flight #wing #nikon #friday

A much more sobering example of how a resemblance to an image in our collective memory can instantly convey a relationship. #ChinaProtests

I hear the stars are sentient. Which gives
me hope for the nitrogen feeding your grass.
Even more for the mole ending the day’s
burrow in your skull. I’m told your atoms
are still atoms.

-K. Iver, “For Missy Who Never Got His New Name”

Read all three poems by K. Iver at Boston Review https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/k-iver-three-poems/
All three astounding.
