AI tech bros can kiss my ass until their “technology” can figure out how to make my laptop connect with my printer.

Sugarcane fields for Caribbean Latinos are what cotton fields are for African Americans. Sites of enslavement, brutality, and stolen labor, but also where resistance was born. Revolutions, maroon communities, and fights for independence started in those fields soaked in blood and defiance. #Badbunny

Bad Bunny just did something trump could never do; named all the countries in the Americas. #BadBunny

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

My purpose is clear. Protect trans kids.

The U.S. Supreme Court will soon hear two cases that will shape the future of transgender people in this country: West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox. Please join PFLAG NYC on Saturday, Jan 10, at 1 p.m. for a rally! RSVP bit.ly/3Yu86EM

Join us and other advocates and allies tomorrow in Union Square rallying for trans kids and against the transphobia raining down from the White House.

Possibly the most annoying part of being on the phone with a "virtual system" to schedule a doctor's appointment is the fake keyboard clacking sound after every question.

I would genuinely like to know: has AI improved your life in a measurable way?

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

Good news for transgender people at MIT. Unlike some prestigious universities, MIT has defied the Trump administration and refused its attempt to pressure the university into banning transgender people from bathrooms. The latest from reporter S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

First knitting project of the season, next to my kiddos‘ book for scale. Peak cozy! PSA: less screens, more crafts.

Magic. It’s knitting season!

Hello @mtaalerts.bsky.social. Can you tell us what’s going on with the uptown A train? This is the message currently displayed at 181st.

Trans and gender expansive students in NYC are under attack. Thank you Manhattan Borough President @marklevinenyc.bsky.social for pushing back against this dangerous rhetoric. NYC Mayor Eric Adams should be ashamed.

Loved listening to Katie Kitamura, Jason Diamond & Denne Michele Norris in conversation today w/ Alexander Chee at the Brooklyn Book Festival. Cherry on top was getting these beauties signed. @bkbookfest.bsky.social @katiekitamura.bsky.social @jasondiamond.bsky.social @thedennemichele.bsky.social

This is absolutely unacceptable. Banning trans kids from bathrooms will only achieve harm. It makes NO ONE SAFER. Adams is complicit with Tr*mp. He needs to go. Trans kids deserve to be safe in NYC and EVERYWHERE.

Note to self.

I need more humor in my life. Don’t you?

If you could have the vocabulary of another writer, whose would it be? Mine’s a tie between Jeanette Winterson and Lauren Groff.

In July, I completed my second in-person residency of my MFA in Creative Writing, which took place in Barcelona, Spain, at the remarkable l’Ateneu Barcelonés. This was the culmination of my first full year in the program at the Cedar Crest Pan European MFA and the start of year two. @ateneubcn.cat

I'm so pleased that my story, "El Jaleo," published in Avalon Literary Review's Summer 2025 Edition. Set in Spain, El Jaleo tells the story of a flamenco dancer desperate to reconnect to her passion for the craft. Order a print or PDF copy at www.avalonliteraryreview.com #avalonliteraryreview

In a small bit of good news, my first piece of fiction has been published by Bright Flash Literary Review! Thank you @brightflash1500.bsky.social for making a home for my surrealist flash fiction story: Kindergarten Tour brightflash1000.com/2025/06/07/k...

This would be a great short story, if you could pull it off.

I’m grateful for @jamiattenberg.bsky.social ’s #mini1000, starting tomorrow. It’s going to be like jumper cables for my writing as I head into the 2nd semester of my MFA.

Celebrating my second lit mag rejection of the week!! 🎉

Season 3, Episode 2 of Somebody Somewhere broke me open. Incredible writing and acting. Bravo.

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️ The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion. When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
