spinning out of a comment thread at tor.com, there's a post on deadbrowalking inviting a roll call:
Let's make it really clear, people. If you identify as a POC/nonwhite person and you read or watch scifi or fantasy, give yourself a name check in this thread. I am particularly wanting shoutouts from people who do not live in the US and who have still managed to read genre fiction.

so wave your flag, or go enjoy the vicarious squee of people sharing their love of genre. (13+ pages as i write.)

Star Trek

was rather like getting some cotton candy. it looked nifty hanging in the window of the vendor's cart. i was totally fascinated by the machine that made it and the skills involved in getting it to spool up so beautifully on the paper cone. the texture was neat for a few bites and i thought the way the texture changed when i handled it was interesting. eating it was fun.

it didn't taste like anything but sugar. later, my mouth burned from the sweet and i wanted some water. my hands were stained from the dye.

a few years from now when i see the cotton candy cart i will only remember that it is pretty and interesting to look at, and i will order it again.
