Isabel Yap (on hiatus)

Happy book birthday to this weird kid who clawed its way onto the shore, trembling fingers and all. NEVER HAVE I EVER is out today! ❤️ No eloquence rn, just gratitude. Thank you for supporting these stories. 😊🙏 Sana matuwa kayo sa mga kwento. indiebound.org/book/978161873…

Popping in here to say that my newsletter is alive again. First post just went out—in which I summarize what I've been up to, and why I'm reviving the newsletter. Link below. Signing up is the best way to keep up with my work going forward. 😊 visyap.mymagic.page/its-been-a-min…

Never Have I Ever is part of this fabulous folklore book bundle!

10 more days to apply for the Clarion Workshop and study speculative short fiction with myself, @crashwong, Nalo Hopkinson, @mdbell79, @jeffreyford8, & @sentencebender this summer! I'll do my best to share what I've learned from 16 years at this work. 😌 clarion.ucsd.edu/how-to-apply/

@EllenKushner ❤️ would be great to see you, but also, feel better! ❤️❤️

@visyap Looking forward to it—unless it turns out I caught a cold in Boston!

I continue to be sparse these days but if you’re in NYC and want alternative Valentines Day plans, come to KGB Bar on Wednesday! I’ll be reading something occasion-appropriate (and new 😌)

It’s my birthday this week and all I want is a ceasefire and a free Palestine. Here’s my fundraising page for the Gaza 5k - I’m running with @jvpliveNY ! Help me reach my goal of $1000 for UNRWA mental health services, which are desperately needed. getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fundraiser/523…

Good news! Application fee assistance is available for Clarion Workshop applicants who identify as being from an historically marginalized group. Partial assistance available for those who identify as financially marginalized. Please email us at clarion@ucsd.edu to learn more!

The Israeli military is bombing Rafah, the most densely populated area in the world, while Americans watch the Super Bowl. This is intentional. This is genocide. We're demanding the world watching the #superbowl turn their eyes to #Rafah. #alleyesongaza #CeasefireNOW

@BenFranciscoM Thank you! See you there! 😄

@visyap I'll be there! Looking forward to it!

@charlesatan Thanks!

@visyap good luck with the week and KGB!

@BAoki Thanks Betsy!

100 days Hundred days of losing, suffering, pain, fighting to survive and showing the RAW realities to the whole world. With no lie, with no filters. I showed the whole world the meaning of being Palestinian living in Gaza Strip. I showed you how we love the life and how we love our beloved Gaza. I showed the reality of the most brutal occupation ever. No one will bring me back the people I lost and my mental health which actually was destroyed years before this war. Free Palestine🇵🇸

Read this sentence. Then reread it. Then ask yourself how anyone is ok with this level of human suffering.

In my mind this evening #NewYear2024. #Gaza

@bebopulation Happy new year bb
