This is a miracle. Strangers <3 helping with a cat we literally thought was at death's door, and the silly kitty starts eating again. We are going to pay it forward. If ever our gofundme exceeds the actual goal, my spouse and I already decided we will help other causes. gofund.me/1c1cd0618

HUGE thank you everyone for your support for our kitty Goldie! I honestly didn't expect her to eat 😭 I don't know how long more we will have her, but this is a blessing. She is our fur child, our comfort in these times. We love having her sleep at the end of the bed, or climb onto our laps purring🙀

This cat! It's a miracle! SHE'S EATING. We said like goodbye to this pussy twice in 2 years already! Thank you so much for your donations, guys 😭 I swear she's turning my hair white (full story here: gofund.me/1c1cd0618)

Storytime: Goldie loves to lounge next to the keyboard of my spouse while they WFH. Eventually, kitty wants attention & pets. When she doesn't get it, she paws at the nearby hand, becoz surely this is what human hands are for! Then one day she grabbed an arm to lick & chomp! gofund.me/1c1cd0618

Update on our kitty. Goldie has IMHA "Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia", it's a symptom not the cause. It all depends now if we can get her to eat and accept the new meds. Sorry for the multiple posts. Here is cat tax

Our Goldie is back from the hospital. So happy she's home (and so very drugged). Best birthday present. Thank you for your donations! (full story here gofund.me/1c1cd0618)

This is really a longshot, but would deeply appreciate if you could read about our kitty Goldie 🥲😿 www.gofundme.com/f/please-hel...

Happy my article got published in Fanfare, for a game I really love: Fallout London ^^ fanfare.pub/britains-bel... #Folon #fallout #LarryTheCat #gaming #videogames

The Thanksgiving decor outside our hotel in St Paul, Minnesota, is lovely

Admitting the beauty of Union Station, Chicago! That Christmas tree is lit. Get it? Lit? .. I'll be leaving now

How to stay humble in an Asian family: Me: "Hey mum, look, I got my article published in this online magazine." Mum: "Were you paid?" Me: "No. But my short story in that anthology did get me USD250." Mum: "Peanuts!" #writerslife #keepbelieving

Interesting bathroom PSA in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. It is nice to know that if I am on fire, someone will kick in the door to rescue me

16 hours on a plane? Hell. Views like this... almost worth it XD #scenery #clouds

@zoeyhedman.bsky.social Guess what I brought to read on the plane? Your story is next! ^^ @aanpress.bsky.social

Interesting selection of airport reading in the duty-free store. Ofc Stephen King and some regulars are there XD

Woot. After two months of prep and recovery from the move to Chicago, am finally flying back to Malaysia today. Hope I survive! Pan mee, chee cheong fun, hailam chicken rice, Tuaran mee, here I come!! 🤤

Most random thing my spouse said: "Lex Luthor has a shapely head" #superman #myspousefindslexluthorhot

Settling into the new apartment, and pumped at earning my SEO certificate yesterday. Zooming in now on African culture, driving license and writing new articles on Medium next~

Today is apparently day one of a heatwave in Chicago, of all things I forgot and decided to bake banana and chocolate muffins 😜

Now that I've settled in a new city, I start looking through open calls for submission. Then I stumble across one from Taco Bell Quarterly. Not sure I am qualified to write for such greatness XD

Moving into our Chicago flat. Waiting for the movers to bring our stuff. The living room floor will never be as clean as it is now

"The Poop Rule is the latest decluttering trend right now!" Germaphobes: "... I will have nothing left" 😑

Chicago is inspiring!

I was 'pressured' to order something called a Route 44 cold brew coffee. Look at the size of it! 😯

Still on my great road trip from Austin to Chicago, and was thrilled to be able to find a Malaysian restaurant near Dallas! It was so lovely to talk to fellow Malaysians at Malacca Cafe, and eat satay, roti bakar, teh tarik, and kon lau wan tan mee again

Super excited to see my favourite writing software @ellipsus.com has introduced yet another amazing theme in celebration of Pride month! I especially love Ellipsus' themes Forest and Dark for inspiration for my 3am jottings (I swear I'm not sponsored XD)

@indraladypotato.bsky.social What, you live? XD

For breakfast from a hotel stove, a buttery Abraham Lincoln-Frankenstein French toast topped with chopped strawberries for sweetness. I forgot to bring the sugar, don't judge me XD

669 words written, in the dark of a pitch black hotel room while my family sleeps, or tries to. Not much but I'm proud to type something~ #writingcommunity

This is my life now, post-packing. Recovering and Snuggling with a pillow on a lazy Saturday morning..until I got a fuzzy plus one. #cat #caturday

Super proud my flashfic got into the longlist of Fractured Literary Anthology 5 by @fracturedlit.bsky.social ! Didn't make it for the shortlist but still feeling pumped and grateful. Poured a lot of my soul into my little fic & apparently received some praise too ^^ fracturedlit.com/anthology-5-...

First stressful stage of moving house is done and more to go, but wanted to share how proud I am for my story to be included in the Our Dust Earth anthology by @aanpress.bsky.social! Can't wait to get back to normal schedule in the new place and writing 🙂

Have been crazy chaotic busy the last few weeks because moving next month to another state. Anyone have any house moving tips? And a strong pair of arms?? 🤪

"Our Dust Earth" is set to ship to AaN Central on Friday. Copies will go in the mail to KS backers next week, followed by preorders. If you would like to preorder a copy yourself of our SF anthology and included micro RPG - aanpress.com/aanorder.htm...

Me typing random names in LibGen for authors whose work Meta stole from, and uses to train AI: Hey! I know some of these names! @singingtotigers.bsky.social @mteasdalewriter.bsky.social

When the cat does not care about you being on a zoom call ie much pettings were dispensed #pets

I see people calling themselves authors. I thought this is when one publishes a book? I dunno XD #authorsky #writersky #writingcommunity

#writingcommunity #authorsky #writersky Wow! This guy published 8 books! I know they say "Write what you know" but... 😅 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I find this especially beautiful because sometimes I forget to stop. And because my idea of relaxing is to... write more. I can't even remember the last time I felt the urge to play video games, an activity I used to be addicted to!

I wrote my first poem! Well, the first I submitted for anything. Honestly I'm terrible at it, and can't quite understand the folks who turn up for poetry nights in the 3 years I was in Scotland. My Scottish friends are so good-natured though! such natural romantics. (The drinks probably helped XD)

There’s only four days left to nominate for the Hugo Awards, and we would love it if you considered us! We’re so proud of everything we’ve published this year, plus, we’re also eligible in the semiprozine category! Here are the issues we published last year 👇🧵

We received A LOT of submissions! To be honest... MOST of them are quite good! So many talented writers out there!🤩 We have some wonderful things planned - fiction, nonfiction, and poetry; and we're still reading! psychopomp.com/fantasy/
