I started my morning with coffee and reading a short story and it's really kept me centered through the work day.

Congratulations to @livesinpages.bsky.social who was named the 2025 Recipient of Virginia Center for the Creative Arts' Steven Petrow and Julie Petrow-Cohen LGBTQ+ Fellowship! buff.ly/xdr5t6h Get I'M NOT HUNGRY BUT I COULD EAT right here: buff.ly/wHAIPn6 @susanschulman.bsky.social

I keep thinking about how SNAP subsidizes American farmers and feeds American children and their families and cuts to SNAP will fuck farmers and starve children and their families and that's a pretty batshit thing to actively want to do

VCCA is pleased to announce that fiction writer ✨ Christopher Gonzalez ✨ has been named the 2025 recipient of VCCA’s Steven Petrow and Julie Petrow-Cohen LGBTQ+ Fellowship! vcca.com/christopher-gonzalez 🧡 @livesinpages.bsky.social #VCCAFellows #MtSanAngelo #writingresidency

Excited and humbled to be heading to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts next week for a two-week residency, made super possible by the generous support of the Steven Petrow and Julie Petrow-Cohen LGBTQ+ Fellowship!!!

Officially in my Jesus year today 🥳

@livesinpages.bsky.social visited my Latinx lit class yesterday & he was brilliant. Students took copious notes from his lecture, they eagerly hung out after class to talk to him & to sign their books. A generous writer that folks should definitely teach & invite to their classrooms!

Last night, the diner menu advertised cantaloupe and cottage cheese for $15.95, one dollar less than a $16.95 appetizer combo.

I would love to see more rich and famous people funding literary culture (they could still do something big with their names on it!) rather than pretending that they can write fiction.

ICE tries it with NYC. Canal Street wasn’t having it. /

“I’m not after sex. A look, a friendly gesture, maybe. Someone who will slow it all down. I’ve been doing this for over six years and no one has ever taken the bait. This outcome always leaves me so low I no longer feel hungry. And isn’t that the greatest savings tip of all?” This is wonderful.

I have a new story out today @maudlinhouse.bsky.social! Writing it was heavily inspired by the increasing cost of groceries and general anxieties around money and trying to live a stupid little life!

Tap It, Swipe It, Charge It by Christopher Gonzalez maudlinhouse.net/tap-it-swipe...

Many of us in Latinx studies have long since known that ICE & anti-immigrant discourse is in the service of the capitalist oligarchs. abolishing ICE is the only way forward.
