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."

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 wrote about Jerrod Carmichael's bracing HBO special, ROTHANIEL, and how it moves delicately between confessional comedy, memoir and prayer for @THR

Today at the San Ysidro port of entry in Tijuana I watched as MX and US authorities allowed 26 Ukrainian asylum seekers to enter the U.S. and turned away a Mexican family who'd been waiting alongside them, saying they couldn't seek asylum bc of Title 42 and would have to wait. 🧵

There's a very diverse working class in this city that doesn't have access to jobs in book publishing. Yet, there's a constant call for "moving publishing out of NYC." As if most of these jobs aren't already being filled by people from elsewhere. Make it make sense.

Unprecedented wealth disparity
A plague that multiplied every inequity, killing a million
Cities governed by real estate billionaires and racist police
Stagnant wages, growing debts, closed businesses, evictions and no health care
@NYCMayor: the root of this is drill rap

But I think, broadly, many folks just don't understand actual desperation and aren't in any meaningful community with people who are faced with making challenging, desperate choices in the face of survival, or even just a SLIGHT chance at surviving better.

It took two endless days after the Bronx fire for the city to release the names of the dead. In the meantime, families panicked and prayed. On today’s front page, with @spiccoli @sharonNYT @SarahMaslinNir @ABarnardNYT @lfadulu @JeffCMays and @susancb nytimes.com/2022/01/11/nyreg…
