My mom told me that she took a self-defense course once, and the trainer (male) gave the class the “advice” that if they couldn’t fight off their attacker, they should just “lay back and enjoy it.” WTF?! 🤬

If a guy were to be blackout drunk in a house full of women, you know what would happen? Not what happened to Jane Doe. And that’s the whole damn problem.

Friends, I am so sorry to have to cancel this event, as it’s one that I look forward to all year! Sadly, I am currently battling a nasty viral infection and am not going to be able to attend this year’s book fair. So sorry to miss you this weekend! Hope to see you at other local events in the fall!

I’ve been struggling lately. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It’s been more and more difficult to continue to function in a world that feels profoundly unsafe for me and my community. That being said, I am still here, still engaged in the fight. I might just be a little quieter than usual as I…

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

The Mbya Guaraní feature heavily in my upcoming book, and it was the honor of a lifetime to visit the community of Guavirami last week to learn more about Guaraní cosmology, art, music and ceremonial traditions. There are no words to express my deep gratitude except simply to say: Ha’evete ❤️

I can’t believe that SEVEN LEGENDARY MONSTERS has been out in the wild for a whole year now! Thank you to the readers who took a chance on my little book about monsters, mortals and the myths we tell ourselves. Thanks also to my amazing publisher for always believing in me and my stories 🫂

Some context on my last post since it took off. The tourist was a white Canadian man who lost his passport enroute. When he went to report it missing upon arrival, he was detained, questioned, STRIP SEARCHED, and taken to a detention center, all while his embassy scrambled to get him a replacement..

One unexpected consequence of that viral post is that I have been getting contacted by other international travelers currently going through the same thing at the airport right now 😭 It’s not safe here, y’all. Please avoid coming to the US right now!

I waited to post about this until I was back on US soil. An intercountry adoptee who was traveling with me got detained and questioned at the airport on the way home. A US citizen traveling with her white adoptive mother. This is where we are right now.
