Zohran won the primary. I had a really great club sandwich.

Overall, a pretty good day for 33-year-old brown immigrants with a beard who live in New York.

“Did you know they almost cut Somewhere Over The Rainbow from the movie!” is my “Viggo broke his toe in this scene” so the whole past 14 months of awards shows and movie trailers has really been excellent for me and @felipetmedina.bsky.social has learned a lot.

A choose-your-own adventure book about immigration? Yep, you read that right. Felipe Torres Medina’s “America, Let Me In” uses humor and a Choose Your Own Adventure style to tackle the complexities of U.S. immigration.

Well, look at that! A lovely review of my book in the @sfchronicle.com! I love you Sam Francisco Chronicle, you’re my favorite Chronicle after “Of A Death Foretold” and “Of Riddick.”

Going to the doctor on a brutal winter workday is so embarrassing. Like “oh, yes, it’s my turn? Let me just grab my entire load of laundry, two carry on bags, and a hydroflask of coffee and shuffle into Room 3 On The Left”

AMERICA, LET ME IN | Kirkus Reviews Finding the comedy in coming to America.

Got my hand on an early copy of @felipetmedina.bsky.social's AMERICA, LET ME IN and not only am I supplementing my (shamefully poor) knowledge of our immigration system, but I'm laughing my face off at the same time. Out in March, Kirkus approved!
