Went out on a book business trip around town, and checked on my books at the North Figueroa Bookshop (3 copies in the Queer Lit section 🥹🏳️‍⚧️📚💜) and left a copy of my book at Doto (location of the sweet turntable mat). It’s so wonderful knowing my poetry book is out in the world 💜💜💜

New on Fright Girl Summer: @vlatinalondon.bsky.social and I have compiled some recommended reading for Latine Heritage Month, which continues through October 15! What are you reading by #Latinx authors this month (and beyond)?

Pushed myself hard this weekend so I’m doing some gentle autumnal recovery at home. So excited that my poetry book is out! Have you picked up your copy of Palm Tree Punk yet?? :) I’m rereading Zelazny’s A Night in the Lonesome October, one day at a time, in between the writing and cups of coffee ☕️

“The Last Super Bowl Game” by George R. R. Martin. It hits me every football season . I was thinking about it yesterday.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic.
