One of the many horrors of the American legal system is its continued classification of children as property of their parents. I can’t say I share the author’s optimism that this one legal change will be a silver bullet, but it’s a start for the UK at least.

In Wake of Court Losses, Rhode Island Codifies ‘Right to Read’
Rhode Island signed into law the Freedom to Read Act on July 10. The law is the first to guarantee writers and readers a right to sue for censorship, and shields librarians from criminal prosecution.

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.

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

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

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 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

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

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.
