updating the #intro post!

Hi! I'm a #queer #chicana #writer of many, MANY stories, mostly #SFF, especially #UrbanFantasy & mixed genre romance. Delve about equally in original & fandom writing, though the fanfic is more commonly free. Current top fandom is #Kpop, esp #ATEEZ & yes, this means I write RPF. I'm a certified #FandomOld, professional #Tarot reader, #disabled artist, & very #pagan.

Curious to know more? Links in bio for blog, #Patreon, #KoFi, and more!

If you are in the ABQ area March 6-7, there will be a conference on Chicano/a speculative worlds - sci-fi, art and music. If you just want to know what this is, please come!!

Let's all celebrate who we are, how we see the world, our dreams, and the air we share.

Again I find myself grateful for the teachings of Missy Dehn Kubitschek, this time for introducing me to the works of Gloria Anzaldua. #Literature #Chicana #CodeSwitching

Today in Labor History February 2, 1938: Emma Tenayuca led a month-long strike at the Southern Pecan-Shelling Company in San Antonio, Texas. The workers were fighting against low wages and inhumane working conditions. Tenayuca first became interested in activism before graduating from High School and was first arrested at age 16, in 1933, when she joined a picket line against the Finck Cigar Company. She later founded two international ladies' garment workers unions, and was involved in the Woman's League for Peace and Freedom. She also organized a protest in response to the beating of Mexican migrants by US Border Patrol. She was arrested several times for her participation in strikes and other activism. 12,000 women, mostly Mexicana and Chicana, participated in the Pecan-Shelling strike. Police clubbed, gassed, arrested and jailed the women. The strike ended in October, with an arbitrated raise to 25 cents per hour.

Today in Writing History December 20, 1954: Sandra Cisneros, American author and poet was born. Her work explores the Chicana identity, immigration, poverty, misogyny and the challenges of having a bicultural identity.

"How My Southeast L.A. Culture Got to Japan"

"I grew up with #Chicano and #Chicana culture in #LosAngeles and heard it had spread to #Japan. I wondered: Is this #CulturalAppropriation?"
