NEW: I intv'wd Puerto Rican alt-R&B crooner Matt Louis for Remezcla's "Nuevo Noise" series that highlights up & coming artists. We talked about embracing himself as a queer man in his art and how he wants to help redefine what makes a Black artist — especially in LatAm. remezcla.com/features/mus...

Spotify named "Latin afrobeats" one of the fastest-rising subgenres of 2025, so for Remezcla I wrote up a quick primer on the difference between "afrobeats" and "afrobeat" since too many seem to be using the terms interchangeably especially in LatAm. remezcla.com/features/mus...

NEW: Got the opportunity a few weeks ago to work on a cover story interview with Bad Bunny for The Cut, written by the terrific Jen Ortiz! I was tasked with translating the piece to Spanish, and making sure Benito's boricua "voice" was kept faithful for readers. www.thecut.com/article/bad-...

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

all of the people you think are braver or stronger than you are also have moments where they feel scared, unsure, or at a loss. doing the thing while kicking, screaming, or crying about it is still doing the thing. it's still bravery.

I will never be convinced that impoverished and sick people or kids who get free lunch at school are my enemy. I will never ever see things that way. I will always be angry that we keep having these debates.

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

No one's forcing Chuck Schumer or John Fetterman or whoever to bend over or knuckle under or switch sides. All that's really required is to have a soul the integrity of which you care about, for whatever reason

The Walgreens CEO being like "Whoops! Turns out nobody wants to shop at a store where the products are impossible to access!" illustrates how so many companies disregard the customer experience. I literally don't care if people shoplift from Walgreens. Stop making it my problem.

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

Every election postmortem makes it clear people voted for Trump for two reasons 1. He has a mystical association with money to them, like throwing a coin into a fountain and wishing for wealth 2. They want people “beneath” them to suffer to reinforce that they’re above someone.

The way that university officials have begun to treat “peaceful” and “disruptive” as antonyms, when they in fact are not antonyms, is the kind of violence to language that one expects of authoritarians

There is no reason to use Gen AI to illustrate anything. There’s excellent clipart you can get very cheaply. A lot of human illustrators will do something very cheaply if they believe in the project and know your funds are limited. Gen AI is created from stolen labor.
