ICYMI: My 2nd full-length poetry collection, MIX-MIX—all about my mixed-race Filipinx heritage, family history of mail-order marriage, & coming to terms with a fractured identity (including sexuality/being non-binary)—was published April 8. Check it out! baobabpress.com/books/mix-mix-…

A little teary-eyed from this wonderful review of Mix-Mix from Scott over @trampset 😭

@samforbreakfast Twinning 💅

waking up to that post AWP rejection!!!!! we are SOOO back

@isjustdrake The music that plays when you’re literally disappearing and your partner is sobbing lives rent free in my head. 😭

@DaniPutney YES. Two halves of the whole. But yeah. I literally think back to that game/part so often.

Just wrote a poem about Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. It’s all coming together, bby ✨

@isjustdrake Omg, yes, that one exactly! (Though I played Explorers of Darkness.) I quote dialogue from the ending scene (you know the one) as related to a former relationship of mine. 😅

@DaniPutney Which one? Bc explorers of time ripped my heart out 😭

I just tried to put 10 pence into my apartment complex’s laundry machine, so that’s how I’m doing lololol. In my defense, though, it’s about the same size as a quarter 😅

Yes, there are red-flag names, & why is it James lmaooo

Happy to receive my contributor copy of the beautiful newest issue of @BennReview! This is the longest poem I’ve written (5-ish pages), though I broke it up into individual pieces for my forthcoming book, Mix-Mix. Yay for literary community! ✌🏽

I’ll be at the Filipino American International Book Festival next weekend in San Francisco, so I made a cute flyer to promote my work. Happy to be a writer & be in conversation with so many amazing fellow authors ✨

@riggstah & I’ve been learning just how much people are there for you when you tell them about that need & they deflect/make an excuse/put it back on you. Really great approach to decluttering negativity in your life!

realizing that every disagreement comes from a need not being met (and perhaps not even recognized) really changed the way i live
