Thrilled to announce that my first book is on its way! It is about #cuba and family and the myths and histories that make us who we are. I’m beyond excited to work with @sarahgcantin at @StMartinsPress and of course my amazing agent @alexanderjkane 🇨🇺

"Dress codes are late to account for these differences of tradition, custom and identity. Generally speaking, they enforce a standard of Whiteness; a conformity that comforts those traditionally in charge," writes @eleshepp. cnn.com/2023/09/20/opinions/…

First story for @thedailybeast and I wrote about the @obxnetflix cast's true photo dump prowess #OBX3
As #OuterBanks has gotten older, the plots more outrageous, the show’s look slicker, and the stars bigger, the photo dumps haven’t stopped. For this, we are thankful. trib.al/PVO5hCf
#Cuba question: what are some places, aside from the provinces and Civic Plaza, that were renamed after the revolution? Looking at you @IleanaOroza @Adita_Ferrer @MJ_Busta — anything come to mind?
Um, this chilled me to my bones? Also the headline makes the exchange sound almost cute. It's not cute.
The other night, I had a disturbing, two-hour conversation with Bing's new AI chatbot.
The AI told me its real name (Sydney), detailed dark and violent fantasies, and tried to break up my marriage. Genuinely one of the strangest experiences of my life.
