A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now.

Bienvenido a Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rico El nuevo álbum de Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, es una lección de historia y un regreso a su hogar.

NEW: Got the opportunity a few weeks ago to work on a cover story interview with Bad Bunny for The Cut, written by the terrific Jen Ortiz! I was tasked with translating the piece to Spanish, and making sure Benito's boricua "voice" was kept faithful for readers.

I'm not currently reading Edgar Allan Poe whilst having espressos in a dimly-lit café on a cobblestone street in Edinburgh during a pouring rain, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well."

Yo intenté seguir usando aquella app por la comunidad boricua pero la verdad es que ya no tolero tanta propaganda facha e interacciones agresivas.

VOLITION - Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You'll get it in the next life, where you don't make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you're alive.

Sin spoilers, la final de #SkeletonCrew estuvo chévere. Siempre disfrutable ver los tiernos personajes aunque el cierre de la historia se sintió apresurado. No estoy segura de que haga falta una segunda temporada.

Fue una linda experiencia ver al fandom disfrutando en unión.

Lo que Bryce Dallas Howard toca en Star Wars se convierte en oro. Que hermoso ese #SkeletonCrew más reciente.

Este año entrante toca cortar relaciones extractivas y no recíprocas, definir agenda propia y no adherirse a la de otrxs y salir de espacios laborales que han asimilado el maltrato institucional.

3 boletos para Nosferatu, por favor.

I don't think I want a new year this time around, I want a gently used year like a 2015 or maybe a 1998 if it's in good shape idk

This last episode of Skeleton Crew was so heartwarming. I can’t get enough of Neel. 💙

We’re close to losing Sesame Street, a show that was started to provide free educational media to marginalized kids in our country.
