It was a pleasure to help launch @nnedi.bsky.social’s new novella SHE WHO KNOWS at Changing Hands last night! A really fun evening.

Uh, like, I live in Phoenix, AZ.

Also, I'm very sorry they sent you here in August which is just about the worst time of year in AZ, lol. Next time get them to drop you into town in February or something! 🥵

Tune into KPBS as @nnedi.bsky.social discusses her newest africanfuturist novella, SHE WHO KNOWS: www.kpbs.org/podcasts/kpb...

Nnedi Okorafor blends sci-fi with African spirituality in new novellawww.kpbs.org On Midday Edition Thursday, we check out a new novella by author Nnedi Okorafor.

An ex-boyfriend just VIDEO called me at 4AM from Nigeria (he’s visiting family). I answered before I was awake (I am still jet lagged). Next thing I know, he’s introducing me to 5 family members! ON VIDEO. It was a nightmare. 😳 Thanks for listening. 🙏🏾

A friend of mine took this photo on South Mountain at sunset. 🌅 When I showed it to my daughter she knew *exactly* where this spot was, 😊. We may be from the Chicago suburbs, but we’ve been here long enough now to be able to say we’re from Phoenix, too.

Aw, look at the fledgling white-winged dove in my yard, 🥰. Cueing Fleetwood Mac, heehee.

From the same world as Who Fears Death comes @nnedi.bsky.social's She Who Knows. A young girl experiences The Call to the Salt Roads, unaware that her presence causes a disturbance for everyone around her... reactormag.com/excerpts-she...

It’s been a year. It was a good day. If you know, you know.

Some stranger talking about something I don’t have time for just resent an email with the threat, “Should we hear nothing from you by 16.8.2024 then we will consider this a sign of your approval.” GTFOH. That’s a great way to guarantee you will never hear from me. The nerve.

My author copies of SHE WHO KNOWS: Firespitter (August 20) finally arrived! They're beautiful. #Africanjujuism set in the future FTW. 🌪️🐲🐪✨🌞 Novellas have their own heft.

Finished signing 3280 tip-ins (a page that will be attached to a special edition) for my forthcoming novel DEATH OF THE AUTHOR. I’ve been signing 500 each day for six days, then 280 last night. It’s done, 🖊️😭.

With all this talk of what "real" women should look like...seems like a good day to share this photo. This is what years of writing (and working out, heh) have done to me, 💪🏾😊.

As a Nigerian American who is culturally mixed and proud of it, I’d love to see an embracing of the idea of being “mixed”. “Authenticity” is a trap and a cage. Kamala doesn’t have to BE one thing to be president. She is this, that, neither. And she CAN claim ALL of it. However she wants. Yup.

I'm honored to be inducted into the Museum of Pop Culture's Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame, 🥹🚀👽🦉🕷🦋🌪🔥☀️🪐.

Trump was grazed in the ear by a bullet from an AR. FINE. Ok. But PLEASE, can someone explain why in all the photos and videos, his ear looks totally healed? I’m not conspiracy theory-ing. Yes, he was grazed. That’s established. How’d it heal so fast? Is it putty? Make-up? What’s going ON?

Republicans appear to be upset she didn't *personally* give birth to her children. If they were capable of a moment's reflection, they'd realize she has that in common with literally every US president.

Completely forgot about this little historical tidbit among all the Momala discourse: "George Washington did not have biological offspring; he was a stepparent who helped raise his wife’s children from a previous marriage." wapo.st/3LCSt7G

J.D. Vance said Kamala Harris has no kids. Stepparents would like a word.wapo.st The vice president is stepmother to two children, but that hasn’t stopped her opponents from suggesting she isn’t a real parent.
