Report: "Casting Us Aside to Die"
Cubans deported to 3rd countries with NOTHING:
🇨🇺 Many age 60 or older and have lived in US for decades
🇨🇺 Half of interviewees arrived in the 1980 Mariel boat lift or in the 1990s thru a legal lottery system
🇨🇺 Many married, had US children, jobs, community roots
Okay, so this is massive and we're terrified.

I'm excited to be at Narrascope this weekend! This will mark my:
- 4th keynote lecture/panel at a conference.
- 2nd time using HEATED RIVALRY as an example in a talk
- 1st time being programmed by one of my former grad students
-Gajillionth time professionally waffling about TTRPGs
Sad you're not going to NarraScope in person? It's not too late to sign-up for online participation. All talks will be streamed and there are special Discord channels just for you! Registration closes in roughly 6 hours!
I'll be at Narrascope this weekend giving the Saturday morning keynote! The show was a blast last year, and exists as a digital/in-person hybrid. Info & schedule here: narrascope.org

"They’re casting us aside to die. There’s no help; we can’t work because we don’t have papers. They don’t give us anything, nothing…. How are we supposed to eat, to pay rent?"
