Accidentally left one of my bags at security at the airport in CDMX and then when I realized I didn't have it, I had to explain to the Mexican TSA that I wasn't trying to do anything suspicious, I'm actually just stupid

Valentine's Day in CDMX 💗

In love with Mexico City already 🇲🇽

Whoever is in charge of the music playing at JFK at 5am this morning should get a raise bc these bangers are making me forget that I had to wake up at 3am to be here

In the office today, one of my coworkers was trying to announce that the sexual harassment training is coming up soon, but said, "Get ready, it's time for sexual harassment!"

These Olympic skiers are so impressive to me because how are they doing back flips down a steep mountain??? I almost killed myself on the bunny hill learning to ski last year just trying to get back to the ski lodge

Art museum afternoon 💙💡

When I was 9, some D.A.R.E. lady came to my school and made me sign a "contract" that said I would never do drugs. Anyway, I'm high rn 🍃

Billionaires are idiots, dude. Not that I've ever committed serious crimes, but if I *did* do crimes, I'm pretty sure rule #1 is don't tell all your friends via Yahoo email about the jolly good time you had on the sex trafficking island full of sick freaks

Accidentally had some paper towels too close to the stove while I was cooking and uhh that is how a small fire started in my kitchen, but luckily it didn't take too long to put it out 😬

In 1998, I was arrested for murder after a miscarriage. A plea bargain was my only way out. A world where women can be punished for what goes on with their bodies is a very scary place. It only gets worse. #Questpit #Q #NF #M #OWN

RIP to the vocab queen 💔

Do I have anxiety or is this just a normal response to the possibility that my immigrant family members and friends will get kidnapped off the street without warning and also the possibility that I might lose my job during these mass layoffs (& lose my health insurance as a result)? Very fun times!

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

I just sent an org-wide message at work promoting a Lunar New Year event I'm organizing, and I included some festive Zoom backgrounds I created that prominently feature horses, but I forgot to mention in the message that it'll be the Year of the Horse, so now it just looks like I'm a horse girl 🤦‍♀️

I just read that it'll be so cold this weekend that trees might explode???

I got my boyfriend an espresso machine for Christmas and it was kind of a gift for me too because now he loves making espresso and I benefit from this immensely

Native Americans protested in Minneapolis today after the ICE abducted four Oglala Sioux Tribal Members. Three of them are still missing. (1/17|26)

How do you find out who you are when your family history has been systematically erased? My memoir, WHERE THE TIGERS DIED, explores the adoption industry in South Korea, mixed race identity, Korean pop culture, and what it means to visit one's ancestral homeland as a foreigner. #BluePit📖 #W #NF

It's been FOREVER since I've participated in any pitch events, but I'm excited for #BluePit tomorrow and would love to boost/repost anyone who wants support!

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile. ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I tried going to Mamdani's inauguration today but the crowd was huge and I didn't get anywhere near City Hall, and instead I quite literally bumped into Curtis Sliwa while I was trying to find my friend so... interesting start to 2026

One of those bike rickshaw things outside my apartment is blasting My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas (why???) while a million people are honking their horns in case you're wondering what NYE currently sounds like in Manhattan... I am on the couch and will not be leaving my apartment at all tonight 🥂

My boyfriend's friends sent us a thank you card and some photos of us from their wedding a couple months ago and ngl it's giving dead parents in a movie montage

Guys be honest, how much are we all getting done at work this week

On the Amtrak back to NYC and it's a full on blizzard and I'm listening to Blood Upon the Snow by Hozier and have genuinely reached flow state

My favorite way to spend the holidays 🎄

Spending the holidays with extended family who know about my writing is hilarious because they'll have one too many glasses of wine, tell me the most embarrassing things they did in 1967, and then look horrified with themselves and say "DO NOT put that in your book" lmao

Turned 29 ✅️ Graduated with a master's ✅️ Continued to be extra ✅️

I think what I love most about living in NYC is that I can cry on the E train at 5am and no one is going to bother me

The cashier at the wine store was trying to flirt with me and told me my freckles were pretty and I responded "thanks, it's the sun damage" so if I'm ever single again I'm screwed because WHY did I say that 🤦‍♀️

Just got my copy of the Autumn 2025 @querenciapress.bsky.social anthology! Beyond honored to be included in this! #writersky

Just turned in my very last assignment for grad school! Over the last 2.5 years, I've balanced a full-time job with part-time school and writing a book (and maintaining a social life/relationship/staying connected to family). Sometimes I downplay my accomplishments, but damn, I'm so proud of myself.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.
