Big news!!

I am SO excited to share that my sci-fi novella, Bright Phaedra, has landed with Thinking Ink Press @thinkinginkpress.bsky.social

It's a near future story about asexual connection, the temptations of AI, and the unboundedness of love.

I can't wait for you all to read this one!!
Delighted to have my story "Alice", in this year's Hp Lovecraft Film Festival's Microfiction collection! I love these little volumes, and it's always an honor to be included 🐙✨

and made sure all participants knew what our protocol was (also posted to website). Every single org and event needs to prepare. Train staff and volunteers. Put contact info up and make it accessible. Doesn't matter where or who you are. Build trust by being prepared. 2/2

One of the things we prepped for at Concurrent was the possibility of an ICE raid, given the number of BIPOC/multiply marginalized people who'd be attending. We were in communication with the theater (who already had strong protocol in place because a community member had been abducted) 1/2

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.
