My friend, journalist @meganclement.bsky.social, has her first book out soon. I think you should read it, and pre-ordering would really help her.

It is a memoir about migration, borders, family, love and loss. She is a brilliant writer I'll thread a link to one of her essays below to prove it.

You can pre-order here. It would mean a great deal if you did.

That viral video claimed on social media to show looters pillaging a Los Angeles home amid the wildfires?

I tracked down the woman who was living there. She says the footage shows her nephews and son rescuing her belongings as her rental home caught fire.
