“We were the ones who shoveled the snow during the winter... We are the ones serving the food, we are the ones who clean the units, we are the ones who clean the bathrooms.”
The carceral system runs on exploitation.

Just a reminder - Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water by Marc Reisner remains a highly relevant and important book. I'm revisiting this book now as I revise my debut novel, GRIEF CAMP, which will be published by SFWP on September 14, 2027.

New York law makes it nearly impossible for innocent people who plead guilty and don’t have the benefit of DNA evidence to go back to court and prove their innocence.

On Sunday, I saw The Fear of 13 on Broadway. What a powerful and important play! Afterwards, my friend and I had the honor of meeting Nick Yarris (the story is about how he was convicted and sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit and served 22 years on death row)!

I saw this in a random feed and I’m sharing it because my baking experiment failed last night but my spirit loves messing up more than it loves succeeding.

For @broadstreview Book Week, I had the pleasure of reviewing The Grief Shop and Other Stories from a Broken World by Alex DiFrancesco.
This powerful new book, a linked collection of speculative short stories, offers a cathartic escape and is a surreal exploration of humanity.
