This Friday, I'll be giving a presentation at The Whispering Shelf on Lotería in Indianapolis. I will be discussing some of the folklore adapted to create this story collection.

NOTE: My travel is still limited because *points to the world* but my family said they'd drive me to this 🖤

This insufferable loser E M. Just not writing his name in case he's got supporters here and I don't feel like blocking a gagillion people tonight. I'm not on that weirdo app, but I'm on Threads and saw these screenshots over there. Sharing is caring. So I brought them over here to bluesky.

Hey, yo. Joyce Carol Oates is dragging tech boys by their hair over on that weirdo app.

Miss Mexico was insulted during an activity at the Miss Universe pageant & left the room.

"Fátima used the cameras to deliver an empowering message: “I hope that everyone watching-every woman-remembers...if something takes away your dignity, you must walk away..."

Walk away from disrespect.
