I have a new story out today @maudlinhouse.bsky.social! Writing it was heavily inspired by the increasing cost of groceries and general anxieties around money and trying to live a stupid little life!

“I’m not after sex. A look, a friendly gesture, maybe. Someone who will slow it all down. I’ve been doing this for over six years and no one has ever taken the bait. This outcome always leaves me so low I no longer feel hungry. And isn’t that the greatest savings tip of all?”

This is wonderful.

Many of us in Latinx studies have long since known that ICE & anti-immigrant discourse is in the service of the capitalist oligarchs.

abolishing ICE is the only way forward.
