Almost 3 years since the publication of SECRET OF THE MOON CONCH by Guadalupe García McCall & me. It's still timely.
The premise? A teen from Mexico—crossing into the US to escape violence and find her father—is captured and caged by ICE. But she has an unexpected ally, connected to her mind.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Has anyone else my age (GenX) noticed the shift in the pronunciation of the word "women" in parts of the US?
Rather than the traditional /ˈwɪmɪn/, in the mouths of lots of younger folks, it has become something like /ˈwʊmɪn/, which to me sounds almost the same as "woman" /ˈwʊmən/.

“Epstein Class” is catchy as fuck
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Hey folks!
Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Este vil pendejo estará de pie en la horca algún día junto con los demás homicidas fascistas del régimen.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”
