“As of today, only one woman of color remains on the editorial staff at Teen Vogue.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Teen Vogue was one of my first bylines as a freelancer. And it was bc of their incisive political coverage that I trusted them w/ a pitch on Palestinian singer, Nemahsis. I’m still so, so proud of these stories & devastated by the loss of an outlet that platformed so many POC/queer voices.

anyway, for no reason at all, just thinking about the time I got to profile Melissa Barrera for @ELLEmagazine in April ‘23, and she talked about being a huge horror fan, and how much playing Sam Carpenter in Scream meant to her. www.elle.com/culture/movi...

In 2022, Scream V completely revitalized the franchise, with the followup, VI, becoming the highest grossing film in the series. They did it with TWO Latinas at the helm only to throw it away bc Melissa Barrera had enough integrity to speak out against genocide. What a joke.

Essay: What 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' can teach us about surviving fascism

30 years after her death, it feels like everyone knows Selena's story. But in the upcoming Netflix documentary, Selena y Los Dinos, we finally get the chance to hear her tell it. In an exclusive for Rolling Stone, I spoke with director Isabel Castro about how the film came together! bit.ly/3WC6Y17

Watching it for the second time now and Kiss of the Spider Woman really is so so special. JLo is in peak form, Diego Luna is raw and captivating, but Tonatiuh turns in one of the most powerful, heartbreaking performances of the year. In a just world, he'll have an Oscar in 2026.

One of my bucket list interviews of 2025: for WMag, I had the loveliest chat with Olivia Dean, the honey-voiced singer-songwriter who's having a massive (much deserved!!!) moment right now. Her latest album, The Art of Loving, proves she's so much more than a viral hit. bit.ly/42GiSu7

"We can’t let people take [our happiness] from us just because they don’t like who we are." For @rollingstone.com, I spoke with Cristela Alonzo about her new Netflix special, Upper Classy, using comedy to protest ICE, & the power of joy in times of turmoil. 🔗: rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Growing up, my grandma didn't speak English, but always said, "quien habla dos idiomas vale por dos." I have a lot of thoughts about what it means to be Latino in this country rn, esp. in light of the Supreme Court ruling, but most of it I already wrote for @thebarbedwire.com in July bit.ly/4pf8Ppt

Seriously, read this piece.

Really moving piece on how to celebrate July 4 in times like these from the inimitable @catcardenas.bsky.social for @thebarbedwire.bsky.social thebarbedwire.com/2025/07/04/j...

The Studio was renewed for S2, so I’m resharing my interview with Chase Sui Wonders for @voguemagazine!!! we bonded over bobs, and talked about her biggest influences from Fellini to Cassavetes to Nagisa Ōshima, and what it was like playing a “brazen little twerp” like Quinn. bit.ly/451nTzl

there should be a show with a different Walton Goggins character airing every weekday. David Zaslav call me and I can save your company

30 years after Selena's death, you can still hear her everywhere. Not just through her music, but in the voices, style, and ambition of today's Latin artists. For De Los @latimes.com, I spoke w/ Becky G, Estevie, Gale, Angelina Victoria & Vanita Leo about Selena's impact and legacy. lat.ms/3FPZylF

I could not be more in love with the photos @catcardenas.bsky.social took for this sweet story for @thebarbedwire.bsky.social — ‘Everything We Have, We’ve Done Together’: A Charro-Cowgirl Love Story thebarbedwire.com/2025/02/20/c...

god I forgot how funny Gone Girl is

obsessed with her crazy ass

Yes to this diva!!

this interview is so perfect, i love captain sheila kelliher

spoke with the diva who presented Beyoncé with Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter! turns out Captain Sheila Kelliher is also a Texas girl (and a trailblazer), who says Beyoncé is “part of the fabric” of what this state is. @thebarbedwire.bsky.social bit.ly/3WKwdOU

YES!!! HATE WINS!!! 😌😌😌

somewhere, in different corners of the world, Drake and Piqué are crying themselves to sleep

still remember what it felt like scrolling through my feed in the pandemic and stopping dead in my tracks the first time I heard Chappell Roan singing “Pink Pony Club.” just pure magic. what an insane journey — from clubs and bars to the stage as a GRAMMY AWARD WINNER!!

OH MY GODDD!!! Grammy Award WINNER DOECHII!!!!!!! let’s fucking goooo!! 🐊🐊🐊 #Grammys2025

WOW. completely and utterly blown away by Tonatiuh Elizarraraz in Kiss of the Spider Woman. He’s dazzling and heartbreaking, embodying a character so vulnerable and so vital — what a beautiful reminder of how art can help us escape even the darkest, most repressive times. #Sundance2025

a standing ovation at Sundance for JLo after Kiss of the Spider Woman, and let me just say this: start the 2026 Oscar campaign right now, because she’s undeniable!! it’s a larger than life role that she pulls off with such precision it’s impossible to escape her web. #Sundance2025

ATROPIA: the highlight of my Sundance so far, just full of surprises, from the surreal setting to the chemistry between Alia Shawkat & Callum Turner. It’s sharp, sad, funny, and completely original — a tender romance and a biting war satire all in one. #Sundance2025

funniest part of a festival is listening for people’s reactions walking out of a screening. heard “like an anxiety attack that wouldn’t end” and “kind of hilarious” about a movie I didn’t like, and “definitely… unique” about a movie I loved #Sundance2025

it isn’t just that we’ve lost one of the greats, it’s that I don’t know if we’ll ever get anyone as dazzlingly weird & unflinchingly sincere as David Lynch again. he deserved more time & more support from an industry that’s become so risk averse it’s a miracle we even had him at all

I don’t really want to parse David Lynch as An Artist for Our Times, but he understood so powerfully that small-town mores are the source of what makes America good and also what make it implacably evil

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

This is a beautiful tribute.

was planning on getting through the rest of Em*lia P*rez today, but I can’t disrespect David Lynch’s memory like that

what an insane show of range from Luca Guadagnino, Justin Kuritzkes, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross on Challengers AND Queer last year!! one runs on pure adrenaline and sexual tension, the other lingers and meditates on every glance, every unspoken desire — both completely hypnotic

It’s also important to write about Good People doing kind things. @catcardenas.bsky.social wrote this beautiful piece about the day she spent on Espiritu Santo Bay with a nonprofit that hosts outdoor experiences catered to people with disabilities. thebarbedwire.com/2024/09/13/m...

Beyoncé’s ability to make the most showstopping performances feel so effortless is insane. you would think the first-ever “Beyoncé Bowl” was a fully lived-in residency she’s been putting on for years.

the Texans rly need to step it up after that, stop embarrassing Beyoncé in her house

Can’t say enough how much I loved CONCLAVE. So many great performances including this guy - what a backstory!

a little early xmas present for the Conclave hive!!! Had a great time chatting w/ Carlos Diehz about making his feature film debut as Cardinal Benítez, going from architecture to acting, and the advice he got from John Lithgow. www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

Just another “Conclave” Monday. I wish it were Sunday, that’s the lord’s day, my “gotta go to church” day. The wonderful @catcardenas.bsky.social spoke to Carlos Dhiez, who steals the show as Father Benítez www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

People will start to really care in about a month 🙃 www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

"We are also expected to ignore that two days after Thompson was killed, two migrant teenagers were stabbed in Lower Manhattan. The culprits asked if they spoke English. The teenagers indicated they did not. They were then stabbed. One was killed. No ensuing nationwide manhunts."

I believed in him… I believed in him and I was BETRAYED

Adding to this: his whole project is enabled not only by the editors and others in media who gave him opportunities, but also by those who continue to act as if they need to protect him from the people who have correctly identified what his project does

now watching 🎥

just incomprehensible how this fucking asshole is spending the last few days in office before handing the presidency to Trump. the only part of his legacy that will last

🧵 San Antonio often lands on lists of friendliest cities. I asked native @catcardenas.bsky.social why that is & she wrote this 💫 essay about the murals on the west side & her family's connection to the man who envisioned them as a point of pride for the community. texashighways.com/culture/san-...

it’s bad enough that a billionaire bought his way into the white house, but it honestly makes it so much worse that he’s such a fucking loser.
