We're in the world, not against it.

My first short story collection comes out September 8th. It's the book that's taken me the longest to write (lol I wrote the first draft of one of these stories in 2010) and is filled with ghosts, dystopias, Black women trying to figure out how to make art, & the unknown: lithub.com/lit-hubs-mos...

"Enough is enough. Delaney Hall should be closed." At today’s House Committee on Homeland Security hearing, Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social called out DHS for defending a detention system where people have reported abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment.

From Adelanto to Delaney Hall, people in ICE detention are risking their health and safety to protest inhumane conditions. Their message is simple, "Please don't give up." And we won't. We stand in solidarity with the strikers and will keep demanding accountability and dignity.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

People have been asking me if I know of a resource like StandWithMinnesota for New Jersey, and I haven't found something comprehensive. So, for the moment, I have put together all the links to NJ orgs, crowdfunding links, events, and stuck them on a page of SWM. standwithminnesota.org/jersey

A reminder to Americans how exceptional it is that a leader in a democracy does not except his electoral defeat.

What a wonderful moment to experience. I lived under Orbán 1, working at CEU… it was nothing compared to what was to come under Orbán 2. So many friends were impacted. Now, many years too late, it is finally the end of Orbán 2. Tomorrow we can talk about the challenges. Today we celebrate!
