LA peeps! This Saturday!

Just watched Joy Ride on Netflix and it deserved so much better

Just got a (very kind) rejection from a reputable literary journal after four days. Can you imagine if this were standard 😭

We can never never never allow these people to escape justice.

Do I go embrace joy tonight or schadenfreude? I’ll switch to the other tomorrow

Let’s gooooo

It’s been too long since I’ve visited New York

Mailman just delivered our mail. It is dark out. Ominous..

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I HATE A "WE CAN'T KILL THEM BECAUSE THEN WE'LL BE JUST AS BAD AS THEM" ASS BOOK

My audiobook publisher is two months late sending me my most recent royalty statement, and I'm considering airing them out on here because they've been ghosting my agency, and I'm 99% sure it's going to show I've earned out.

Hi guys! I've had no luck with commissions this month and I'm in need of help with my medication & groceries.

Roadtripping from LA to Portland and now I no longer consider the bay area Nor Cal. There’s so much California I never thought about before. SF is in SoCal idc

Screaming But yes, let it be known that I love drumstick wings and all genders 💚

5⭐️ this book reminded me of myself in so many ways just I went through it in college, not hs. I would do anything for these characters😭 there were some actual jaw dropping moments I did not expect. and there's so much hope in this book. a true coming of age. go read it. @aaronhaceves.bsky.social

In honor of #BannedBooksWeek I’d like to share this request for reconsideration form for This Is Why They Hate Us. Even I gotta admit the guy who filled it out summarized it succinctly and accurately

Reminder that an IDF prison guard is on on camera raping a Palestinian man to death, and when arrested, masked armed soldiers raided the base where he was detained and forced his release. He then went on TV and became a celebrity.

Greta Thunberg was just assaulted by the terrorist state of Israel and forced to kiss their fake ass flag because she chooses to care about people other than herself while Taylor Swift can’t post an insta story. Stan the right white woman

Proud to announce I received one of this year’s Judith A. Markowitz Awards for Exceptional New LGBTQ Writer from @lambdaliterary.org!

LA Peeps! Come hang out with me and some other really cool people this Sunday!

Pursuing publication is so masochistic, like why am I excited about a tiered rejection from The New Yorker 😭

If I had a nickel for every romance novel I’ve read that was written by a white author that featured a Latino character who served as a mouth piece for pro military sentiment, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice in one month.

I hit 150 subscribers on YouTube from just posting shorts! So cute

Today I am at my most powerful because it's #BiVisibilityDay and #LatineHeritageMonth. Please consider checking out my novel, This Is Why They Hate Us, which is about a bi Mexican teen growing up in East LA who tries to get over his crush on his best friend by getting under someone else!

Found out earlier today that This Is Why They Hate Us was rejected by yet another UK publisher. Thought we had a chance with this one because it was a small progressive indie & I did a sensitivity read for them. At least I helped one of their white authors write a Mexican character from East LA 🙃

So after almost two years of genocide and after ignoring the Palestinian led boycott initiative, all it took for people to start boycotting was a rich white guy getting fired 🤡 Don't get me wrong it's a net positive but wow that really is liberal politics in a nutshell

My older son (right) is 3 years old today! This Is Why They Hate Us ushered in a whole new era in my life, and I'm so proud of this unapologetically queer, Latino, Pro-Palestine book, and I'm beyond grateful to anyone who's bought it, read it, or otherwise supported it (and me).
