Can we pleeease start calling him President Nepo Baby?

I really can’t stand to say his name and calling him 45/47 makes me sick to my stomach.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT WRITING MIRACLES?!

Yesterday, I spent a good hour searching for a story that I could have *sworn* I wrote a few years ago but couldn't quite remember for what publication (and haven't been regularly updating my portfolio due to the pandemic/baby life).

In my latest for Raising Gen Alpha, I wrote about how I'm embracing teaching Rio about different cultures, even if teaching him a different language is proving to be nearly impossible for me: irinagonzalez.substack.com/p/teach-kids...

I’ve been thinking about this for a hot minute, but I know deep down it’s what I need right now. I’m not “off” social but will only use it from my desktop. If you need me, find me on Substack: irinagonzalez.Substack.com — or my website: irinagonzalez.com (where you can also find my email).

PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT ABORTION!! You don’t have to live in CA to sign this.

“Beverly Hills city officials, including the Mayor and Chief of Police, colluded with landlord Douglas Emmett and antiabortion radicals to block an all-trimester clinic from opening in the city”

Sign this petition to object.

I just read a blog post about writing a children’s book & just came across a sentence that literally made me stumble back cause HARD COPIES?! This was 2016!

"The listing will also tell you how to contact them. Some of them will accept email, and some will want hard copies.”

Justice for Ray Bradbury.
Was reading an article about the current wave of book bans in the US and it was described as "a bad parody of 1984."

I know shit's gotten Orwellian, but there was another book we all had to read in high school that was very specifically about banning books that we can use as a literary reference.

Hey y'all! Have we gotten to the point that we can do #journorequest stuff here???

PLEASE TELL ME YES cause I really, really don't want to rely on The Platform Who Shall Not Be Named...

Today, I went to a queer squirt performance art kinky carnival party thing. I saw some of the weirdest shit I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a LOT). And afterward, had a 20 minute conversation with a porn star about butthole surgery.

I’VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH, NEW YORK

Just saw a kid around my son’s age (3 1/2) in a super pricey stroller, just chilling and full-on swiping on an iPhone like NBD. Ah city life!

But first, TACOS

…and reliving my sophomore year at NYU. Which was in 2005. As in, 18 years ago. I seem to have more lines on my face now?!

I’m in NYC and heading straight for my friend Tawny Lara’s book launch party for Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without Booze. Can’t wait!

EAST COAST FRIENDS! WTF do I wear in NYC this week when it's in the low 70s during the day and 60s in the evening? The dry heat of Colorado is *very* different, temp-wise, so I no longer know what's appropriate! H A L P

I’ve been feeling very discouraged about my writing lately, but starting to crawl out of the dark cave of impostor syndrome.

Game devs are tired. Writers are tired. Comic book creators are tired. Musicians are tired. Actors are tired. Every industry that produces media you love has been ravaged by a parasitic executive class who want to starve creators to feed some shitcunt's desire for a seventh house
