Surviving the genocide was only the beginning. I am now a stranger in my own city, left without a home or a clear path forward. I am dedicated to rebuilding my life from zero. Your support, no matter how small, is the foundation I need to start over. Thank you all 🫂 chuffed.org/project/1389...

Thank you for sharing my poem published in Uncanny!! I wrote it after reading a fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm called "The Blue Light," which is a strange one that does involve peas... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blu...

My dear former student Aphid is fundraising to leave Kansas and move to Colorado. He is a 100% real trans person in Kansas, I personally know him and vouch for him. You can make an immediate big difference in someone's life this way!! Please spread the word & contribute if you can!

"well it's too late to do it perfectly what do you want me to do" I want you to fucking try. To ask for solar power. To build that recycling center. To go to the school board meetings and advocate for trans kids. To give hungry people food. To be loud. And annoying. To feel hopeless and try anyway.

Palestinian activist Leqaa Kordia was released from an ICE detention facility in Texas after a year in custody. The 33-year-old from the occupied West Bank was the last person connected to the Columbia University pro-Palestine protests still held by US immigration authorities.

I'm reading poetry subs at Strange Horizons this month. You can submit up to 6 speculative poems in a single file or separate files. I recommend separate files, because we allow simultaneous submissions and it's easier to withdraw individual poems. Guidelines: strangehorizons.com/submit/poetr...

4/ “Mi Familia,” by 5-year-old Luisanney Toloza from Venezuela, who had recently crossed the U.S.-Mexico border

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

Please buy books that are coming out this year. Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us). #BookSky

TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress: Free Leqaa Kordia from ICE detention! (updated) actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... UPDATE: Leqaa Kordia has been hospitalized following a medical emergency yesterday. Her family and counsel are not being informed by ICE on where she is being treated. Please take action!

Seeing from Sameer Project that tents are breaking down. We are so angry that this is the ask since people should not have to continue to be displaced… but please pitch in so that they can replace tents that have torn and disintegrated after 2+ years. chuffed.org/project/1132...

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

I just want as much attention and awe for the young people of color who are defending their families in majority POC communities as there is for the white people who are supporting their neighbors in historically white communities lataco.com/lapd-arrests...
