En Chine, punk is not dead Le punk chinois est l'un des rares espaces où s'exprime encore une critique sociale et politique du régime. Fortement réprimé par les autorités, il persiste toutefois grâce à un réseau de bars et festivals clandestins. 🎧 @franceculture.fr urls.fr/pE15ol

Mon dieu !! Il fait chaud !! 🥵

I had a great time marching in the Puerto Rican Day Parade this afternoon celebrating boricua culture and history! ¡Que Viva Puerto Rico!

A major water crisis is engulfing Puerto Rico right now. Help from the mainland can't come fast enough. The administration & Congress need to act now to deploy resources. We must support our fellow Americans in quickly upgrading their water infrastructure to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe.

For years, there has been a worsening infrastructure crisis in Puerto Rico. The status quo cannot be tolerated. From Chicago to Flint to Puerto Rico and everywhere in between, access to water is not negotiable. We must act to ensure justice for our communities.

My fab client Denise S. Robbins' debut, THE UNMAPPING, is on @people.com's Best Books of the Summer list! Thanks to @binderybooks.bsky.social, @mynameismarines.bsky.social & especially Brittani Hilles of Lavender Public Relations for your hard work! Congrats, Denise! Check this one out, folks!

LOON POINT, my amazing client @carrieclasson.bsky.social's debut, has been out for 3 weeks, and the response has been wonderful! One reader called it "the book I didn't know I needed!" Another said reading it felt like a hug. Need a book hug? Pick up or order a copy from your fave bookstore!

From an unfinished Holocaust novel came the seed of a new graphic novel. Rabbi Rafael Grossman once described a moment that became the heart of A VISIT TO MOSCOW, illustrated by Yevgenia Nayberg. Here’s a look at the art by Joshua Edelglass for that original unfinished manuscript. #HistoricalFiction

Black History Month read: BEFORE 13TH exposes the roots of mass incarceration — showing that convict leasing began before the 13th Amendment, not after. A powerful graphic debut by Michael Ralph: www.harpercollins.com/products/bef... #BlackHistoryMonth #GraphicNovels #Libraries

Together, we are America. Well done, Bad Bunny.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

Books travel in unexpected ways. Somehow A VISIT TO MOSCOW, illustrated by Yevgenia Nayberg, found its way to Forest Creek Middle School in Fort Mill, SC—quietly waiting for its next reader. A reminder of the joy of discovering books far from where they began. #SchoolLibrarian

I loved this queer speculative retelling of fairy tales! Check my review of Syr Hayati Beker's novel over at Reckoning! 📚🌈

"Of all the books I’ve had the opportunity to review, 'What a Fish Looks Like' is one of my absolute favourites." When a reviewer as thoughtful and cogent as @redfernjon.bsky.social writes that, I pay attention. Check out the review we just published of @syr.bsky.social's debut novella!

I don't quite know what to do with the information of the brilliance that is @redfernjon.bsky.social engaging so incisively with my book in @reckoningmag.bsky.social . I may never get over it. I am so very honored. Thank you, and thank you always @stelliform.press, now excuse me so I can go (!!!!)

Going out to publishers in the new year: DIGNITY, an upper MG graphic novel set in NYC, 1948. Told through alternating POVs, it follows a Jewish boy shaped by the Holocaust and a Black girl rooted in the Great Migration—inviting empathy, dialogue, and moral courage. #GraphicNovel #MiddleGrade

I like Proud Pink Sky by @redfernjon.bsky.social 🩷 It is a Sci-Fi, Spec Fic standalone, set in Berlin and 'the first gay state'. I loved all the alternative history and 'pamphlet' excerpts advertising the gay state all thru the story. Brilliant! www.redjon.com/proud-pink-sky

Writers: I’m still closed to submissions. I’ll share an update when I reopen. Wishing you all a wonderful New Year. #MSWL

Happy New Year 🎆🥳

Bueno, ¡hoy es noche buena! Y mañana oficialmente Navidad. Aquí tranquilo y descansando.

I'm pleased to announce that my short story collection has been longlisted for the Dzanc Books Short Story Collection Prize! Yay! 🌈 www.dzancbooks.org/blog/ssc-sho...

I haven't shared this in a good while and it's something I'm really proud of! The trailer to my novel PROUD PINK SKY shows how the world's first gay state came about. It uses research from my PhD, my love of history, and pure imagination. Please share if you can! 🌈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pxY...
