The MAGA regime is working on cutting ALL scientific research focused on women’s health & other crucial health topics, by instructing government health agencies to block grants that include words like “women,” “trans,” or “DEI.” This is life or death. We're taking action. app.sosha.ai/s/rVL8k63E

🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the US, we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day.

Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy.

BUT a peaceful People’s Movement is growing. 👉 www.FiftyFifty.one

Buy books. But not from Amazon. Buy them from Bookshop.org, the independent site. This move by Amazon is shameful.

Here is a link to my book on Bookshop.org.

The San Francisco Chronicle asked me to write an essay about losing my home in the 1991 Oakland Hills fire and what people in LA can expect.
"There are few things as shocking as watching your home burn down," it begins. #palisadesfire
A California wildfire destroyed my home in an instant. It took years for me to recover
The time, effort and expense to rebuild is enormous. Homeowners’ lives will be disrupted for years.

More from my @theblcklst.bsky.social evaluation: "Whether They Be is a very strong project in that it examines how the underlying power structures around sexual taboo, disability, and race hurt families through compelling characters in a well rendered historical fiction setting." 🎉💻

My first @theblcklst.bsky.social evaluation: "...this allows Whether They Be to broadly appeal to readers while also feeling unique, offering it very high prospects as a novel."

My most recent sensitivity reader for the novel manuscript has this to say:

"Gripping from the start, Whether They Be is a novel of lush imagery and cultural touchstones that awaken national bruises, unflinchingly." Thank you @natashiadeon.bsky.social
