Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

In 2021 I wrote a story about a grad student who lies about being Métis, inspired by several CanLit identity-fraud scandals. I wanted to explore the twisted settler mentality that makes it possible to justify colonizing identity. "(Not) A Metaphor," Dalhousie Review 101.2. #ThomasKing

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Dear Bluesky mods: point out a single inflammatory or incorrect statement in this post.

Incredibly pleased that my Exorcist x True Grit novelette "You Shall Love Your Crooked Neighbor with Your Crooked Heart" will appear in Suffering the Other by @dimshores.bsky.social to raise funds for RAICES and Transgender Law Center. Can't wait to read the other stories!

This is brilliant. And depressing af.

Snapdragons are my favorite flower to grow. They do however produce seed pods that look like the screaming skulls of the damned.

Currently reading The Cipher by Kathe Koja and essentially reliving my dissolute 20s. Oof.
