Wrote my dad a birthday card and he said, “Wow, can’t deny you’re a writer,” so you can keep your Pulitzers

LAKOTA NATION VS. UNITED STATES (95% #CherryScore) is "stunning... demonstrating not only the physical & cultural violence inflicted on the Lakota but also their deep connection to the Black Hills." - @bycdl, @nytimesarts || @ifcfilms

So excited to be part of the @latimes new initiative covering everything Latinidad. Let's do this:
"Our job is to explore the contours of Latinidad, the good and the bad. We see ourselves as observers and chroniclers of a community coming into its own."

Casting someone who barely speaks Spanish as a recently arrived undocumented person drives me nuts. Representation doesn’t matter if it’s not authentic imo

It’s difficult for me to watch “The Crown” knowing this system still exists. How do we justify this? (And by this I mean unearned deference; rampant impunity; unchecked generational wealth) I guess it’s the same everywhere, except in England they call it royalty.

It’s just embarrassing the lengths people will go, what they will sacrifice, to stay rich and powerful.

A lovely article about how one of our amazing editors, @bycdl, reached her goal of becoming a nonfiction book editor! ♥️📖
#HIGID: In December, Concepción de León (@bycdl) became a senior nonfiction editor at @pantheonbooks, fulfilling a decade-long dream. De León came to New York with no connections and a singular desire: become a book editor. How she carved out her path: thecut.io/3LZdF7a

“I would encourage people to try to savor where they are right now and see value in it,” @bycdl says. “Don’t wait ten years to feel good about what you’re doing.”

I was nervous about being interviewed for this column because most others featured seemed to have these perfect routines — it was a good reminder to myself that it’s okay to not have it all together. So appreciative of @BinduBansinath for thinking of me

Cannot wait to edit this moving, important book by Jamie Figueroa, which explores how her relationship with her mother, and the latter’s estrangement from her family and homeland, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, shaped Jamie’s life
