I hear there’s been a jewel heist… How suspicious 😏

Today! Hope to see you there, 518 friends!

On my way to ruin the workplace. Anyone need anything?

Some DIY cosplay 🕵🏻 in the works! Can you guess who it will be?

Six - SEVEN Legendary Monsters! Did I do it right? 😂

Do you feel that? That’s hope 🥹

Reminder that it’s not just the big elections that matter! For example, our town is voting on whether or not to increase the local library budget (heck yes!). Make sure you get out there and vote today!

If you’re wondering what job searching is like right now– I applied for a job back in July. Got an interview. Nailed it. Went into hiring process. Then radio silence for 3 months. Last week, they asked me to come in for another interview (?) set for tomorrow. Today they emailed…

TODAY! 🎉 Hope to see you online!

It’s that time again ⏰

Ghosts of Halloweens past 🎃

Looking for a Halloween read? Look no further! Steeped in indigenous horror and told from the perspective of the monsters themselves, SEVEN LEGENDARY MONSTERS explores the duality of good and evil, the weight of curses, and the enduring power of sacrifice.

I don’t think y’all realize just how many people are going to be applying for unemployment this coming Monday 😬

A reminder:

Join us this Monday at 2:45pm EST! 📣 Registration is free for this online conference at LatinxArchive.com Sponsored by the Chicana/o Studies Department at the University of New Mexico Sign up now!

This Halloween, I’ll be going as unemployed. Scariest costume yet 🙃

I clean up ok 😉

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually. The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

Jewel thief, you say? 💃🏻

A sincere thank you to everyone who marched yesterday 🙏🏽 After I was threatened at the last protest, I decided to sit this one out for my own safety. But y’all showed up for me and everyone else who couldn’t be there 🙌🏽 Keep that momentum going! ✊🏽

No one talks about the grief of losing a job you love. And yet, so many of us are dealing with that right now. Sending love to those who don’t know how to feel about what comes next.

Sign up now for the Latinx Visions Conference which runs from 11/3-7. The conference will be virtual, so be sure to register to get the zoom link! I’ll be presenting on Nov 3rd from 2:45-3:45 EST along with the amazing @davidbowles.us and @camazotzcomics.bsky.social You don’t want to miss this!

Left my book at work. A tragedy in 5 words.

Finally got my bookshelves set up after the move 📚 So much work, but I love my new office space!

I sold TWENTY copies of my new book today at the Philadelphia Latino Book Fair! What an incredible event organized by buena gente!

Philly! Nos vemos pronto! 📚 See you soon, Philly 🚙

Work: cleaning, packing & moving boxes Home: cleaning, packing & moving boxes 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND 😫

So many happy memories in this place! It will be missed.

Today our kids left us. For the past 6 years, my school for migrant & refugee children has welcomed almost 7,000 kids from around the world. Now, because funding has been cut for these lifesaving programs, we are being forced to shut our doors. Grief doesn’t begin to cover it.

Book Fair season is upon us! 📚 Come find me this week in Albany, Saratoga and Philadelphia! 📍

Tomorrow! 📚

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family

📣 THIS SATURDAY I’ll be at the New York State Writers Institute Book Festival from 10:30am to 4:00pm at SUNY Albany Hope to see you there!
