Speculative fiction writer, translator, and editor

Pro Wrestling

my friends invited me to a forbidden door 2026 watch party and I was like “sure, idk anything about wrestling but it’ll be nice to hang,” and then bandido walked on and it was all over for me

But, more seriously, I love the drag and pageantry of it all, the physical prowess on display, the storytelling through fight sequences. It’s like a kung fu movie—you could call it wuxia libre. Or:

Art is the great unifier of humanity. Mythic fight theater is such a primal, foundational part of our expressions in art. It’s present in so many parts of civilizations’ storytelling. Pro wrestling is a universal artistic language.
