Last June I became the first person of Mexican descent to win the HWA's Bram Stoker Award (& only the third Latino) for my poetry collection MEXICANS ON THE MOON. June also marks 17 years since I sold my first story. Much love to everyone and good luck to this year's nominees!

I can live without data centers. I can’t live without water.

Tech was one of the last paths into the upper middle class without family money, credential laundering, or nepotism. Now those jobs are disappearing too. That is why the layoff story matters beyond tech.

Flint Michigan didn’t have clean drinking water until last year after the crisis that happened in 2014. It took over a decade for the government to acknowledge those people suffering. They know what data centers will do to the environment. They don’t care.

The greatest filmmaker that ever lived cast Eartha Kitt as Helen in a stage production over 75 years ago.

This video is exactly what they meant by “she gives grace even when grace is not given to her” It’s unfortunate that she had to stand there and be polite and educate this grown man while he is being microaggresssive towards her. Unprofessional reporter and disrespectful

This couple from Somalia walked into a Cinnabon to buy food and the employee started making fun of the woman’s hijab so they took out their phone & started recording then she called them the N word and admitted to being a racist! She continued to say derogatory things to them too

Happy to announce that I've just sold my story "Rest Stop," to Nightmare Magazine, one of the finest horror fiction publications in the world. This will be my fourth appearance with them (3 stories, 1 poem). Many thanks to editor Wendy Wagner for the opportunity. Much love.

This is the 2nd Black woman I’ve seen THIS WEEK who was in active labor in a hospital, was denied care, & had the baby <15 mins later. When we say the maternal mortality rates of Black women is 2-4 times higher than white women, this is why. Why make it about race? You tell me.

Fathers don't usually d¡e during childbirth
It's funny how after the birth of a baby, announcers declare that "mother and baby are doing fine".
What about the father??
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Fathers don't typically risk death during childbirth, as they aren't delivering the baby nor are they being born.
