Dinner with mom tonight because she wants to try one of the restaurants near her new place! I love that I'm excited about that sort of thing now, considering how much I used to dread dinner with my parents not that long ago

“We’re all having to decide what we’re going to do in a moment where we’re sort of the last person standing between a kid who should be learning in their classroom and an immigration official who’s there to take that right away from them.” Read more ⤵️

Cuddled up with the BF during last night's thunderstorm to watch #Flow, and it was the perfect escape from the dreary weather. It had such sweet story, with stunning visuals and a heartwarming message (Plus, the cozy vibes were perfect for a rainy night)

The lesson from today's coffee run is that, even on the darker days, there's still joy to be found if you know where to look

None of the places we managed to tour today were what we wanted, so we haven't found our first together apartment yet. But I took my cranky BF out for pizza tonight to celebrate anyway

Officially beginning the apt hunt with my BF today, fueled caffiene, donuts, and maybe a sprinkle of delusion. Our combined budget gives us more options, but the Seattle market is still wild. Seriously, looking at craigslist this morning nearly gave me a panic attack. Wish us luck!

This week's been a lot, so I'm grateful for moments like these to recharge and reset

I've never seen A Chorus Line, The Wiz, or Cher's witch movie, so I'm not the most well-versed on the references. But I still LOVED last night's Drag Race Rusical!! Those queens are seriously amazing

At work, I'm the youngest employee, and my coworkers never let me forget it. But the interns look at me like I've already got one foot in the grave. So, I'm in that strange, in-between zone, not quite fitting in with either group. It's alright. I've always sort of existed in the margins anyway

I heard a rumor about a company retreat hookup and didn't think much of it since it's none of my business. But this morning, those two coworkers went full reality TV with an epic screaming match, complete with nasty name calling and someone storming of. I can't wait to see how this turns out

Weekend recharge complete. Waking up late, cozying up with my BF, and enjoying some much needed peace and quiet! I'm feeling refreshed and officially spoiled. Do I really have to go back to reality?

Winter's grip loosens, and the world aches in its green embrace

Long weekend vibes: waking up cuddling with my BF in his old bed while we’re staying at his parents’ place and realizing this is my forever mood. So, I did what any rational person would do: I kissed him and asked him to move in together. And he said YES!

When your BF has a key to your apt 💖 #HappyValentinesDay

Been listening to a lot of Omar Rudberg lately. His music is so sultry, sensual, and subversive. Seeing someone like Omar thriving in the music industry is inspiring, and honestly, it's about time we had more brown, queer, Latine voices in mainstream pop

Forgot that Casa de los Famosos All Stars started last week and I've already got so much to catch up on. Dame el chisme, Jimena!

So, the sales team decided to rewrite my proposal because it didn't sound enough like the "company voice." Okay, weird, because I literally am the company voice. Should’ve used more buzzwords I guess

Life sure is a wild ride, isn't it? A year ago, I was single, getting stood up, and stressing over my parents. Now, they're officially divorced, I have the most amazing BF, and we're taking my mom out for a celebratory dinner. Talk about a plot twist!

Who needs the Super Bowl when you can have a Wicked singalong?! 💚💖 My BF and his housemates are hosting the ultimate anti-Super Bowl party, and I'm ready to unleash my inner broadway diva. Let's defy gravity!!

Got so cold while I was working out this morning I thought I was getting sick. Turns out their heat was off 🥶

Jonny’s been a must-read author for me since Ander & Santi Were Here. Canto Contigo sealed the deal, and now, Futbolista scored a major goal with my heart. #QueerBooks #BookReview #Booksky #QueerBooksky

Clocking out for the day so I can get ready for tonight's Drag Race and Arrietty's redemption in the Sea Sickening Ball!!

My boss just asked me to write an RFP response. I'm not sure if it's because they believe in my writing abilities or because they’re so short handed. Either way, I'm gonna rock this!

Two snow days in a row, and I'm officially spoiled. Who needs an office when you can be this cozy at work?

If you want me in the audience for your movie, you can't go wrong putting the massively talented (and extremely handsome) Pedro Pascal on the screen

Working late tonight because of a last minute project deadline and my BF is massaging my shoulders and feeding me nachos. I'm not worthy

Sorry to tell you, but I am a freak #OmarRudberg

Snowflakes fall, the sky whispering its tiny stories as I lie mesmerized, bundled up in bed, dreaming of winter magic

It thundered so loud earlier I bit my tongue

Moving day for mom. Thankfully we had a ton of help, so we mostly beat the rain and snow 🌧️❄️

Nothing like massive life changes to flip the nostalgia switch. Can't believe I was ever this small

Eating my feelings today

Talking with my mom while helping her finish packing the house last night and she drops the bombshell that she's been carrying her passport everywhere for years after my dad threatened to call ICE on her during an argument. This is beyond messed up. I'm so angry, disgusted, and heartbroken right now

My mom just picked up the keys to her new condo and called me, crying. Then I started crying, too. Happy, sad, angry, excited, all the emotions. This past year has been a LOT, but I'm so proud of her for starting this new chapter

Nine months ago, I was convinced that true love was just a fairy tale. Now, I'm celebrating my longest ever relationship (and falling deeper in love every day) with my bestie turned boyfriend, and I'm still amazed by how lucky I am. Sometimes, the best love stories are the ones you didn't see coming

My definition of roughing it in the wilderness. Seriously though, a hot tub under the stars was the perfect way to unwind after two long days of company bonding (and awkward small talk)

ALEXA PLAY EL SON DE LA NEGRA WE JUST WON THE STONEWALL AWARD

I finally got my hands on Futbolista by Jonny Garza Villa. I've been dying to read this book and I can't wait to finally devour it!!
