I finally get to share 5 of my poems, part of a greater work in development called Broken Borders, which tells the narratives of immigrants, borders, and crossings. Thank you @thechachalaca ❤️

@nicolesjchung Really sorry to hear this. When my mom had covid, she thought she was in the clear and had 3 more days of hell. Hoping you can breathe/feel better soon

@MindaHoney Musang! Just went there w/ @amandacastleman per her excellent recommendation. PSSSST, TLDR; this is my home city now, if you're free at some point this weekend & still in town, would love to see you

@atheartpanadera @epicurious I love how comprehensive and perfect in every way this is!

[Michelle Villegas Threadgould @Mthreadgould]

@carynrose This is terrible 😞 . I’m sorry & I hope the Boss is ok

[Michelle Villegas Threadgould @Mthreadgould]

@alex Yes *😭😭😭 I never knew there was another way*

[Michelle Villegas Threadgould @Mthreadgould]

@MindaHoney 🙌 Amazing!!!

@susanthesquark +1, also, bad experiences/ bad edits can make you rethink: why am I even doing this? But asking myself, “why is this story important to me?” really helps with writer’s block

The day before I host a cooking class on the history of café de olla, I read this beautiful piece by @yosoyyosi & nearly started balling. If you have an abuela you're missing right now, who taught you everything you know about the kitchen, this is for you https://t.co/GlGpzdzfQJ

@KFILE Not sure if you follow Run 4 PRs on insta, but they have this helpful post on tapering. Typically you reduce your long runs 20% week over week: https://t.co/SndtJtMs86
I'm running a half marathon in 2 months & was just reading about this 😅

[Michelle Villegas Threadgould @Mthreadgould]

@mims Congratulations on your book release! Looking forward to reading

@sabina_writes Thinking about you and when we can write together! Let's get a date on the calendar after mid July 💕

@ZacharyLipez I am late to reading this, h/t @NedRaggett, but just want to say I've read this 3 times in the last 48 hours, and laugh harder each time. Thank you for writing this!

@emmaruthless "Sometimes I think about the guy I lost my virginity to, and I think about telling him how much money I have. I think it would feel wonderful." 😑 I wish to read a piece by a person in the same position who has bigger struggles than: how will I pick a competent wealth manager?

[Michelle Villegas Threadgould @Mthreadgould]

@emmaruthless neither did "all things considered"

@sabzi_k @sabina_writes It’s in Sabina’s pentameter, I can hear her on each line break. AND she found her draft of it. This can only mean 1 thing: SUBMIT IT

I went to my favorite bookstore in CDMX 3 years ago, found a book of poetry I loved, contacted the author & worked with him for a year on the translation. So happy to see Mario Panyagua’s original poem & my translation published alongside of it.

@emmaruthless You are making me relive memories of Mr. Nanny and Junior and I'm not sure if I'm ready for these memories on a balmy Thursday night, or ever
