Andrés N. Ordorica, How We Named the Stars

[jazleighwrites]

I started reading 'How We Named the Stars' by Andres N. Ordorica today and am loving it so much (I'm already half way through and have been highlighting my favourite lines).

The style and voice is so beautiful and just the first few chapters have given a much needed burst of inspiration for my own writing.

So grateful to have had the pleasure to hear him speak live about this book and his poetry! Can't thank my postgrad uni enough for that experience!

Almost screamed when he followed me back on Instagram😭

Literally they could have stopped making Deep Space Nine and made seven seasons of this show and I would have been happy.

Most Anticipated Queer Adult Fiction: January-June 2024

Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma R. Alban (January 9th) Gwen has a brilliant beyond brilliant idea. It’s 1857, and anxious debutante Beth has just one season to snag a wealthy husband, or she and her mother will be out on the street. But playing the blushing ingenue makes Beth’s skin crawl and she’d rather be anywhere but here. Gwen, on the other hand, is on her fourth season and…

… I was starting to understand that life was a matter of deciding what to keep alive and what to let die. Personal dreams, family ranches, first loves, summer flings—all these things have a life span. As much as I was learning to let go, I was also learning to welcome new knowledge into my life.

Today on Posts That Will Serve As A Blocklist but whatever:

It's genuinely at the point where people who act all dismissive and superior about the Star Wars animated series, and ESPECIALLY of Ahsoka specifically as a character--snidely dismissing anything that involves TCW-original characters or arcs--are just. Objectively hysterically wrong.

Like.

Phantom Menace released in 1999.

Revenge of the Sith was six years later, in 2005.

TCW started airing in 2008. Ahsoka started existing in the narrative literally three years after RotS dropped.

Even if you start counting as far back as you possibly can, back in TPM (wherein Anakin was an actual baby), the prequel era only existed at all without her for nine years.

Ahsoka Tano has been a narratively significant, load-bearing major protagonist of the Star Wars franchise for, as of this post, sixteen (16) years. Very nearly twice as long as her era ever existed without her! At this point, if you are determined to act like she's some handwavey 'new' star war idea whose impact on the living tapestry of the GFFA can be easily dismissed, that's...

...like, full offense but that's kind of on you, man.

I drew something based on this idea I had from earlier!

I'm pretty sure mephisto is his song, not Aqua's...

I think we should try dunking him into the sea, I'm serious... good guy or not, he's REALLY CURSED. Anyhow, I feel someone's bound to fall into these waters soon, whether it be him or Aqua

Never heard of them but sure
