The Pittsburgh shooter specifically attacked Jews honoring our diasporic legacy through immigration activism. He's not just mad abt Jews, but abt what Jews can do for others when we take our history seriously. We stay serious about history bc history stays serious, stays present.

One’s “a novel” and one’s “a memoir” but they’re both histories of amnesia studded with photographs that function like vortices or magic mirrors, both testimonies of pathologized life, both intergenerational ghost stories, both formal triumphs of contemporary latinx literature 👏🏼

Puerto Rico never trends when people ON THE ISLAND [do anything]! Only as a prop for US nationalist discourse.

I find it quite violent that Puerto Rico never trends when people ON THE ISLAND make calls for independence. We experience the silencing of our voices—which carry our needs—at such a constant rate. Independence is what many of us need, no hashtag or US politician will change that

this soup has had my back so many times… four ingredients, half an hour: sautéed onions & ginger (sometimes fennel), carrots (peeled) & a can of coconut milk the garnishes are the fun part—croutons, parsley, a swirl of yogurt, chili oil, always a squeeze of lemon
