Reading at East City Bookshop for OutWrite’s “The Future is Queer”

OutWrite Presents “ The Future is Queer” : An evening of queer speculative fiction. Readings from Sarah Pinsker , Craig L. Gidney , Day Al-Mohamed and Sunny Moraine. Moderated by Marianne Kirby.

I love love loved this entire event. The friendly outreach, the reminders, the fact that the bookshop took care to get in copies of our books, a well prepared moderator, awesome co-readers, and an AMAZING audience. This goes down as one of my most favorite author events ever. If OutWrite or East City Books ever asks for my support for anything, in a heartbeat, I’ll be there.

Just a few quick images from the evening. For anyone interested in reading the short piece I contributed to the evening, you can find it published at Fireside Fiction.

But the best and coolest thing of all….I’ve been memed!!!

Okay, this is actually a bit of a repost (with additions from me) of a 2017 post about Ain Adhari or Adhari Pool, a freshwater spring in the Zinj area of Bahrain. I was thinking about it in reference to how communities congregate around water, particularly in desert regions. There was a lot of reminiscing and I had been hopeful about the changes happening but it looks like history repeats.
