ICE took my brother in law. My family is now on the growing list of people that Trump's policies have directly impacted.

Things will be challenging for a while – if you can help my sister, Ramiro, and their two little girls in any way, it will be so appreciated.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Just completed yr 2 of @lizneeley.bsky.social’s incredible Storymakers Program w/ USC, in which she gets a small cohort of environmental scientists onto an island & helps them reconnect with their hopes, learn storytelling skills (I teach writing), and build community with each other. It’s magical.
