It’s been more than a day since an attack on academic freedom & free speech wounded my campus. Our campus leadership’s silence is a continuing attack on these vital educational values.

Donate to outreach programs for students of color. Have faith in the skilled lawyers on our side, who will continue the fight. Remember that this was a long game for the Right, and it needs to be for us. And vote with control of SCOTUS as your issue.

Best I can figure is cable TV is for people who really want THE MARTIAN to be playing on a continuous loop.

And any list like this has to have Michael Nava on it. His series of novels with his character Henry Rios—starting with THE LITTLE DEATH— are a snapshot into gay life during the scourge of AIDS, while also being amazing detective stories.

This is a great list, and an even better dialogue by same amazing folks. But what if we were making just a list of the most influential postwar Queer Latine works?

When my friends and I sought out queer Latine fiction writers thirty years ago, John Rechy and his CITY OF NIGHT was what people described as “the one.” There were more, but his was my introduction to another world and time that made gave the present roots.

Gloria Anzaldua’s BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA is one of the most influential books ever to a lot of us. It might stretch the fiction genre but the hybridity of everything she does is a never-ending gift.

@DrMikeAmezcua Happy for you!

Been here since 2007, when you could see a live feed of everyone. Like all social, good things and bad. Models, scale, profit motive, they all change things. At the end of the day tho, it’s all the same: we don’t need to say/ share everything that pops into our head.
