Read the rest of this editorial here. At AL DÍA News, which you should be reading regularly anyway ;). When I wrote it,...

http://cafenowhere.livejournal.com/309688.html
Lisa M. Bradley (. Lisa M. Bradley. Poison Trees," Devil Makes Three. Writing Latin@ Characters Well, Part 9: Banging Down More Stereotypes. By far the most prevalent Latino stereotype I see in fiction and movies is the gangbanger. I dont even know what to do with that. Can we just call a moratorium on writing Latino gang members? Anti-immigrant legislation has essentially criminalized the existence of most non-whites in the near-future US. Vourvoulias portrays a range of covert communities, includin...

Strange Horizons Fiction: Selkie Stories Are for Losers, by Sofia Samatar
http://www.strangehorizons.com/2013/20130107/selkie-f.shtml
Selkie Stories Are for Losers. I hate selkie stories. They're always about how you went up to the attic to look for a book, and you found a disgusting old coat and brought it downstairs between finger and thumb and said "What's this? And you never saw your mom again. I ran back to the restaurant and banged on the door. Of course no one came. I smelled cigarette smoke an instant before I heard the voice. I turned, and Mona was standing there, smoke rising white from between her fingers. I don't even speak...

No Dogs or Mexicans Allowed. I am the product of that determination. My great-grandmother Teresa wasn’t known for being nice. She was a hard-nosed, no-nonsense and incredibly determined woman. I’m told I’ve inherited her bluntness, determination and sharp tongue. I’m proud of that inheritance. Yesterday, I watched a respected reporter and U.S. citizen, Jorge Ramos. 8220;People are passionate.”. Will we be rounded up into camps? In my life I’ve been discriminated against quite a bit. However, in...I say n...

Do it For You. Do it for You: My new love, his name is Gym. July 26, 2016. I am calling this series “Do it for you”. As a divorced parent of 3 children, doing anything for myself is overwhelming and sometimes feels a little selfish. I started wondering what people thought of me for dropping my kids off at daycare in the summer and the Boys and Girl’s Club. I had to work summer school so not much of a choice in that department. Those moments in the gym reminded me who I used to be. That confident, ath...
