The 13 Best Tacos In Boyle Heights Written by @theglutster lataco.com/best-tacos-boy…

@frankshyong I’m in the Valley Everything is just so far This is a haiku

I think the big reason friendships are hard in LA bc we think we are just trying to have fun when we are actually playing a savagely competitive, no-holds barred game of "no you drive over here!"

Fake news ( if you call the piece news) that we are in discussions to sell the LA Times. Completely fabricated. We are committed to grow this most important newspaper on the West Coast and the journalistic need to speak truth to power.

Yesterday I was given a layoff notice at the LATimes. I’ve given my heart and soul to the company. I’ve given nights and weekends away from home for the work. I’ve given a lot more than any "job" so it feels pretty dark. @latguild

"Asco Torn Apart" my 3rd print cover for the @latimes! I could not be more stoked on how this came together! Huge s/o to AD An Amlotte & @cmonstah for entrusting me w/ bringing this story to life visually! Now, a quick BTS/making-of thread for you design nerds out there 🤓:

@micsolana Good thing LAT has “real” journalists

@minxmarx @wjmcgurn Wow! I came here to write this!

Remember all the Western “experts” who told China that Chinese moms having babies was a threat to their prosperity? wsj.com/articles/are-t…

In my first personal essay for @latimes, I wrote about what it means to be Mexican American, but also Oaxacan. My mother’s hometown, nestled in the mountains of Oaxaca, has shaped my life much more than I ever realized. latimes.com/california/sto…

@wildershaw_ The only thing raisins belong in is the trash.

To hell with raisins

@MelissaGomez004 @brittny_mejia

@calagot @brittny_mejia honestly I just wanna know where she heard about me getting paid in beer and tacos, like is there something I don't know

Apparently I am an assassinator of chicano culture! Enemy of my people. And apparently I am getting paid with two tacos and beer? ⁦@brittny_mejia⁩ says I deserve at least 3

@AdrianaHeldiz Honestly, I feel like whenever I visit your fine city I’m just going to Tacos El Gordo, Balboa Park and making ransom trips across the Coronado Bridge.

@calagot I knew it.

Drivers act as if the winding road section of the 163 near Balboa Park is the last lap of a Mario Kart race. Slow down!
