That "intellectual diversity" and "free speech" were trojan horses for right-wing power-grabs has been obvious from the start and I remain disappointed how many supposedly rational folks took bad-faith actors at their word.

15 Dems joined MAGA Republicans to vote YES on HR 9495. Here's a breakdown of this bill & how devastating it is for non-profits, free speech, & basic civil rights: www.qasimrashid.com/p/alert-hr-9... Fascism is taking hold and these 15 Democrats are happily helping. Just indefensible.

I interviewed @brigonzalez.bsky.social about their incredible collection A WELLNESS CHECK for trans poetica. truly a must-read for anyone interested in Chicanx bipolar poetics and pop culture infused writing:

my poem "small violences" is out with the new Latine lit mag Cuéntame Literary ✨ it's short, but the TLDR is fuck borders, fuck assimilation cuentameliterary.com/2024/11/15/s...

Excited to announce I was accepted into Hedgebrook for their 2025 residency program! I cannot wait to live in a little cottage for two weeks and work on my full length projects ✨ eternally grateful!!!!!

When I say they are Christo-fascists, that is exactly what I mean. It is not hyperbole.

One of the most helpful things you could share with people right now. Five free workshops for new organizers over December and January.

SO MANY THOUGHTS, the first being that Mythal is a scapegoat for the much juicier moral quandary of Solas as a rebel god leading a slave rebellion in this political era. They pulled their punches and depoliticized an extremely political story

We are a group of autonomous writers, artists, educators and translators coming together to offer online courses and workshops to raise money for people in Gaza 🥀🥀🥀

I actually woke up this morning and just started writing… who am I?

Whoa y’all. It’s real. It’s really coming. & this is only the beginning. & I Hope It Helps —both for real for real and more than ever. Spring 2025 & maybe just right on time. 🫶🏾 nightboat.org/book/i-hope-...
