Thanks @tr. review of translations at @blacklawrence.bsky.social for publishing this bone-chilling story from Angélica Gorodischer's collection "Las nenas" [Girls]. This translation is the fruit of a collaboration between me and the fabulous @amaliag.bsky.social.

See you on the streets tomorrow, America. We are the last line of defense between this crew of fascists and the dismantling of our nation. DO NOT FAIL YOUR COUNTRY NOW!

There is no collective word for a group of #feminists, so I propose a Fury of Feminists. To dismantle the oppressive pillar of #patriarchy, it will require a massive surge of anger expressed with pinpoint accuracy, targeting our rage where it can have the most effect—the Jasmine Crockett approach.

"They don’t think Trump’s coming for the unions, but he’s coming for the unions, trust me. I tell Maga friends of mine: Trump wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. It’s about total control for the rich. It’s class war.” — Ken Casey of the band the Dropkick Murphys.

Thank you, @awpwriter.bsky.social, for pairing me with the marvelous @mlensheffer.bsky.social as my mentor in the AWP Writer-to-Writer mentorship program. Let's get that collection published and that novel back on track! All the best things happen when we collaborate. I'm inspired & deeply touched.

The US regime deploys the military to take over the city of Washington. A gunman fires 180 bullets into the CDC. A MAGA-inspired gunman hunts Democrats. Freedom of expression is gone. Trump has created "military zones". Our military is being turned against us. We are in BIG trouble. #FascistMaga

Today, #Israel targeted and killed 5 journalists: correspondents Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, Moamen Aliwa. The U.S., the U.K., and Germany are as responsible as Israel for this assault against the press and international human rights. #Gaza

Es un gran privilegio ser invitada de La Feria del Libro de #Madrid. Mientras tanto, en un café cerca del Parque de Retiro mi barista se estalla en gritos porque pasa al final del concurso para ser declarada la mejor barista de #España. La vida es gloriosa. ¡Bravo, Kissaten Place!

Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o dies. He was tipped to win the Nobel Prize for Literature many times, leaving fans dismayed each time it was not awarded to him. His family and he were victims of white colonial genocide. He wrote from prison and, indeed, continuously for 60 years. RIP, master.
