The Never-ending Crisis
In 1937, a young Cuban woman became America’s first “illegal immigrant.”

THoTH is out! And I’m late in telling you (sorry).
Dammit. It’s been a while. I know I have many excuses as to why it’s been months since my last blog post, but they’re boring and nobody really wants to hear, I’m sure. Nobody wants to hear that I moved house, had surgery, worked full-time and published a book. Wait. Maybe you’d like to hear about th
