It's not a crime, it's legal, perfectly natural
My poem "The Process" has been accepted by Mithila Review. I am extremely happy about this sale; the magazine is a new market for me and their past issues have included such luminaries as Mary Anne Mohanraj, Shweta Narayan, Alyssa Wong, John Chu, Shveta Thakrar, Aliette de Bodard, Kij Johnson, Indrapramit Das, A.J. Odasso, Lavie Tidhar, and many more. This is the poem about Kafka which I read last week in Brooklyn (and if you want to see the livestream of the reading, by the way, it's up and free to view and I will try not to become automatically self-conscious about however I look or sound); it is slated to come out in January 2017. Whatever the world looks like then. In the meantime, damn it, art goes on.
P.S. In fact, I am reliably informed that Heiresses of Russ 2016: The Year’s Best Lesbian Speculative Fiction now exists in the wild. Pick up a copy! I can't wait for mine.

I took a look at the livestream, but I'm struggling with the sound. Even with volume on my laptop at 100% I'm struggling to hear (it's not just you, it's the whole thing). Anyone got any idea for pumping up the sound further than a laptop/livestream might normally allow? I may have to take it upstairs and plug it into the desktop's sound system to see if that helps (the desktop is out of action at the moment, so it's laptop or nothing).
On the other hand, you look fine!

Ergh. Personally I would try plugging the speakers in and seeing if it helps, but if not, I'm out of ideas. I hadn't tried to listen to it; I didn't realize the sound was so low!

Oh, well, that's good!

It's not a great film, but it does one structural thing I've never seen a film do before and it does it outstandingly.
Re: Off-topic
I have not even heard of The Sin of Nora Moran, but one outstanding thing can be reason enough for me to watch a movie. Do you have a link to it? (I am hugely behind on writeups of everything, I have to warn you.)
Re: Off-topic
It was a Poverty row production and evidently there's currently no owner who can be bothered to yank it off YouTube.
I will refrain from describing the one thing so you have the option of being unspoiled, but if you're curious (or want to verify for yourself if it's interesting enough to be worth viewing) it's mentioned in all the online reviews of it I've seen.
(I am hugely behind on writeups of everything, I have to warn you.)
Honestly, I'm linking things for purposes of interest/enjoyment, and assume you will write up those things that call for write-ups as and when you have energy/motivation/time.
Not that I wouldn't love to read your write-ups of various things, but I'm happy spamming you with links without expectations.

Oh, hey, speaking of Poverty Row productions, you may wish to check out Something to Sing About (1937) if you have never seen it. I watched it with

I appreciate it. I would like to be writing more!

Re: Off-topic
You're welcome! The ultimate Cagney dance picture is probably Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), but Footlight Parade (1933)—also with Joan Blondell, and choreographed by Busby Berkeley while we're on the subject—has some legitimately showstopping numbers. I feel the need to warn everyone who hasn't seen it that "Shanghai Lil" is about as Orientalist as you would expect, but on the bright side there is a censor played by Hugh Hebert who is always telling the show-within-a-show's production team to tone down the risqué-ness and do they? Hell, no. I like Wellman's Other Men's Women (1931) for a whole bunch of reasons, but a few quick moments of hoofing by Cagney are definitely among them.

And congratulations on the sale!

You're welcome! I've had indications that the sound quality is not great, so watch it with speakers.
And congratulations on the sale!
Thank you!
