We may be little, but we’re quick to tell others where to they can shove their book bans.

Haven’t posted. Querying. Writing something new to keep busy. Best way to describe it is New England immigrant union noir and I’m specifically writing it so that @gabino.bsky.social might read it one day and be my friend.

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

I have confirmation from the Vatican that the rumors are true. My Avó has been elected the next pope and her first papal decree is to challenge all world leaders to 12 rounds bare-knuckle in the Sistine chapel. USA is up first.

Welp, there goes my weekend. Hanging out with her holiness as envisioned by @joeabercrombie.com himself. I’m so amped for this experience. Praise be to lord grimdark.

51 years ago today my avó (pictured enjoying her favorite beverage) and others across the Portuguese Empire went out to streets to remind a fascist regime that they would not and could not choke out hope for a better future. The fascists keep trying, here and elsewhere. We’ll keep reminding em

This season of pope-watch is going to be so much fun.

Any other millennials ready to play Pope-Watch again? As an ex-Catholic with a boatload of religious trauma the catty drama that’s about to play out behind the scenes is about to become my hyper-fixation for the next few weeks

Great night at The Crypt PVD celebrating #MTG Dragonstorm and helping my incredible wife @desgravestattoos.bsky.social raise money for @youthprideri.bsky.social. Only cracked one pack and this badass was waiting inside. #LGS #PVD

Star-crossed lovers in a secondary-world Al-Andalus but she’s a harpy who may it may not be dying of a god-killing plague and he’s a grave robber working for the local bruxas. Oh, and the inquisition is coming to town. ON ROTTEN WINGS playlist vibes #chaospit #F #A

On a rainy Saturday, it comes to an end. And by end I mean edits, revisions, beta reads, query drafting and fretting over whether the story of Ruy and Alva is ready for the world. Wish them luck #WIP #writerscommunity

I’m at the bittersweet 80k milestone for my #WIP. Writing all the best and worst things to happen to these characters and world over the next few chapters is both brutal and invigorating. Alva, Ruy, Atrás, it’s been great. Sorry and you’re welcome for what’s ahead #authorsky #writercommunity

Just saying these two have the exact same “to bad your kid died” outlook. Now is the time of monsters

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Dear fellow 1st gen kids: check on your elders. Your parents, tias, the guy your dad talks to all the time at the cervejaria. They’re scared right now. We are too, but let’s be honest, they’re not going to admit it unless we ask them. Talk to each other. Protect each other.

The family that pivots with reactionary attacks against mommy’s painful quandary enchantment together stays together. My son’s 6, he made his first ever MTG deck today. Red. Because dragons. #mtg #tgc

‘I have no neighbours’: overtourism pushes residents in Spain and Portugal to the limit

Look at this asshole, shorts in January.
