Wrote my dad a birthday card and he said, “Wow, can’t deny you’re a writer,” so you can keep your Pulitzers

LAKOTA NATION VS. UNITED STATES (95% #CherryScore) is "stunning... demonstrating not only the physical & cultural violence inflicted on the Lakota but also their deep connection to the Black Hills." - @bycdl, @nytimesarts || @ifcfilms

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."

This bar is playing the entire Get Rich or Die Tryin’ album and I’m not mad at it

Casting someone who barely speaks Spanish as a recently arrived undocumented person drives me nuts. Representation doesn’t matter if it’s not authentic imo

It’s just embarrassing the lengths people will go, what they will sacrifice, to stay rich and powerful.

And the fact that Charles is now the king considering everything is so so cringe.

It’s difficult for me to watch “The Crown” knowing this system still exists. How do we justify this? (And by this I mean unearned deference; rampant impunity; unchecked generational wealth) I guess it’s the same everywhere, except in England they call it royalty.

You're such an inspiration @bycdl! "I’m trying to embody that a little bit more and tell myself, “You’re just being. You don’t have to be doing all the time." thecut.com/2022/10/how-co… via @thecut

I was nervous about being interviewed for this column because most others featured seemed to have these perfect routines — it was a good reminder to myself that it’s okay to not have it all together. So appreciative of @BinduBansinath for thinking of me

“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.”

“That Desus and Mero made it to television at all was a seismic achievement.” @bycdl on what late-night TV loses with the end of the Bronx-bred duo’s groundbreaking show: on.theatln.tc/0IQk5vR

I am this person to many in my friend group. The number of grad school entrance essays, papers, web copy, and blogs I have supported my friends with. And @bycdl has been that person for me--having a best friend who is a legit book editor (fmr NYTimes writer) is a major win!

By age thirty you should have a group of friends willing to do first round edits on anything you write.
