Since it's #HispanicHeritageMonth, I'd like to share an article I wrote about the origins and usage of #Latino, #Latine, and #Latinx: https://t.co/N5JSteqYcp

@DazeG_321 I used Happy Scribe, because it could distinguish the different Central American dialects 💙🤍💙

@EileenGalvez @MIParhizkar @infrapolitics What do I have to do to bring this to Columbia for spring 2026? 🩵🤍

Hey, @AP and @fernanda_figs - this article sounds a lot like one I published months ago, except that 'Latine' didn't just recently "emerge." It's actually been in use since before anyone ever heard of 'Latinx'...

Awareness of 'Latinx' increases among US Latinos, and 'Latine' emerges as an alternative https://t.co/kzltiI3NVY

@DazeG_321 Daisy! Two questions:
1. Do you have to be 18+?
2. Are the interviews/focus groups happening in person?

[Jessica Trejos, PhD, MSW 🇳🇮 @JessicaTrejos]

@b_pared_centeno 🥰 Thank you so much! Looking forward to reading your upcoming publications as well!!!

[Jessica Trejos, PhD, MSW 🇳🇮 @JessicaTrejos]

How do you feel about the term #Latinx? How do you use it? Or, why don't you?
(My third research paper, and first solo-authored paper, published in a peer-reviewed journal.)

I hope you read it, share it, and it gives you what you want/need to know.
