ICE raids tried to split LA apart, but might have made it stronger. From coordinating wildfire relief to blocking ICE buses, community organizers say LA County residents keep proving that in a city of strangers, nobody fights alone. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/ic…

I’ve got some good news! My new book, IT WAS THE WAY SHE SAID IT, comes out Sept 9th! This book is EXTRA special to me-it’s a collection of work– old and new, fiction and non-fiction-I hope folks find something that lights them up, entertains them, and maybe even inspires them.

Elons son picking his nose and putting a booger on the Oval Office desk while Elon addresses the nation from the Oval Office as if he were president perfectly encapsulates where America is at right now.

I wrote about how I take notes when I'm reading, and also why: not to be more "efficient" or "productive," but to dwell with a text more deeply--& also just as a way of relishing existence. With many photos of my notebooks. Link in profile.

2 #Christmas novels in the #ChetandBernie series? One's Caravaggesque, the other Dickensian. The narrator's a dog. But not a talking dog! That's the whole point!

52 USC 10307(c): "Whoever knowingly or willfully . . . pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both” Where's the DOJ?
How’s this legal? Elon Musk just announced that his Super PAC will be awarding a million dollars every day until the election to registered Pennsylvania voters who signed his Super PAC petition.

These people are giving the game away. They want to create a world in which no one has the desire to read, create or think, and eventually no one has the capacity to. Reading, critical thinking, the humanities, are never wastes of time; they are what make us free.

Conspiracy theorists who keep saying there’s “no way” the hurricane could have intensified so much without some human cause are so close to getting it.
