Liam is back home.
He is only one of the approximately 3,800 children in ICE custody.

Like this meditation from Lion’s Roar mag:
Breathe into the possibility that your suffering is a response to toxic systems, not personal failure. Gently affirm: "This pain is not my fault. I am not broken; I am responding to a broken world. My worth is not defined by my productivity or perfection."

Most of what I wrote this year was a book. And I can't share that yet. But I did write a handful of stories that I liked, and since this is the week many of us share our year's work, here are three. 1) An essay on Paul Reubens and the painful history of the closet. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/t... >

This is so gorgeous #publiclibraries
Gresham's new East County Library is incredible! It's no branch library, but a flagship like Central Library downtown. It's credited to Portland's Holst Architecture, but the design came equally (or more) from Ghanaian-Brit starchitect David Adjaye (who was dropped before construction). WOW.

A fast machine, kept his motor clean: My new #HitParadePod on @slate.com is about superproducer “Mutt” Lange, mystery man of arena-rocking überpop. Mutt’s anthemic sound worked across genres—AC/DC to the Cars, Foreigner to Billy Ocean, Def Leppard to Shania. Let the magic man pour some sugar on you.
The Reclusive Producer Who Shook the Charts All Night Long
Mutt Lange avoided the spotlight while crafting some of the loudest, catchiest, and bestselling records of all time.

FYI, if you're someone that likes to tuck into some Christmas TV movie rom-coms this time of year, I've directed two with Asian-American casts: A SUGAR & SPICE HOLIDAY (2020) can be streamed right on Lifetime's website (US only). A BIG FAT FAMILY CHRISTMAS (2022) is on Hallmark+ or Crave in Canada.
Four Christmas movies to know me by.
I have to go with the ones I directed, in between my main specialty genres of horror and crime and supernatural strangeness. (And there are only two.)
