found this throwback photo of myself as a kid in my favorite 90s t-shirt in a full-size frame. this is very much my personality, and I like that.

In a world where there are not many examples of (queer) Latinx men doing incredible things, there was you, Pedro Zamora. It is especially bittersweet that you are not here with us, and you should be here. I’m thinking of you and your legacy today.

Congratulations to Kendrick Lamar on his 9 Grammy nominations. “GNX” is a spectacular work of art, and a record we will be reflecting and returning to time and time again. “GNX” was/is my record of 2025.

I’m a sucker for a great opening sentence, the sentence that sets the tone for any book you are about to be fully immersed in. I still can’t stop thinking about this novel.

if there’s one thing I would not forget, when it comes to traveling, are books. @aaknopf.bsky.social doesn’t play around whatsoever.

if tonight is emblematic of what we are seeing, immigrants are going to put the work in and come with receipts. NYC just elected a radical socialist Muslim millennial immigrant as their mayor.
