My current fantasy books!

One is a mythic fantasy series with Greek gods & modern heroes, while the other is the first of a Celtic fantasy trilogy about two teen boys told they must save their world from warring gods.

Both are on Amazon. 🏳️‍🌈 Check them out!

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years.

JFC. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Columbus was from Italy and NEVER stepped for on what would be American soil.

Please tell me that even MAGA can't be THAT dumb to believe this bullshit.

If you’ve ever wondered whether quiet resistance still matters...this story will remind you why it does. The video got grounded...but something much bigger...took off.🔥👇

In a world where most politicians won't mention trans people except to throw us under the bus, this ad from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is honestly such a breath of fresh air.

I've been teaching this novel for over 20 years. I've done a buttload of research. It's my FAVORITE novel to teach.

I still have not gotten an answer as to why Donald would even consider pardoning Ghislane Maxwell. And Biden is not an answer.

I recommend watching this video. It's only about 17 minutes, but it gives a pretty clear understanding of crossover ideas between the hoop dancer and the Laguna Pueblo in the novel. youtu.be/niRs_VIqzYU?...

I think what's important to remember is that indigenous storytelling based on oral storytelling techniques is not going to match Western or mainstream literature. Tayo's story is cyclical, and his story has not finished yet. If you ever want to talk about the book, let me know!

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Happy Indigenous People Day!

Did you know that Indigenous women go missing and are murdered ten times more than average? They don’t even get a quarter of the attention that a white woman going missing would get. Please keep these women in your mind. Don’t forget them

What were your thoughts about the novel?

I haven't yet this year, but I probably will once we get to the end. I have taught the essay in conjunction with the novel in the past. There is so much richness to be found in this novel and I find myself noticing new things every time I teach it. And I've been teaching it for a very long time. LOL
