Sweet and short piece in Vanity Fair on my book TO SAVE AND TO DESTROY: WRITING AS AN OTHER (released just about now). Not bad for a university press book of academic lectures on literature and otherness. 🔗 www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

You should see THE FISHBOWL (LA PECERA), a deeply moving and lyrical debut, set on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques, that reflects the collective impact of political violence through an individual struggle. I interviewed multi-disciplinary artist Glorimar Marrero Sánchez for Filmmaker Magazine.

The real danger was never cancellation by women, people of color, or queer and trans people or their “wokeness.” The real danger is censorship, banning, deportation, incarceration, and war by the nation-state and white nationalist identity politics that masks itself as American patriotism.

These attacks on birthright citizenship are racist and disturbing. Birthright is a foundational principle of the United States ratified by the passage of the 14th Amendment to recognize Black people as full humans. Take it away and we risk losing basic humanity. #resist

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

Just to think that when I got the email from the NEH I thought it was spam. It took me like 10 min. to click on it because I was positive it was some cruel nerdy phishing scam. I'm glad I clicked in the end. ¡Pa'lante por Puerto Rico! al.nd.edu/news/latest-...

It’s not everyday that a boricua de familia jíbara de Yauco wins an NEH Fellowship. I’m deeply thankful for this support and for everyone who believed in my new book project on the impact of Hurricane Maria in boricua cultural production. I’ll need to celebrate with #pitorrodecoco

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”
