Just got an acceptance email from a magazine! I am happy, but meanwhile— I: submit beautiful, polished works that deal with White male fear to Asian female sexuality, power relations between languages, psychology of an aging dictator, etc Magazines: Nope. I: submit works that deal with a watermelon that wants to kill people, a herring that wears a red fur coat with a set of Jimmy Choo, which in turn makes the story meaningless, as it is a red herring, etc Magazines: Accepted! Publishing! …Why?😂
