I was just tending my inbox when some beautiful praise landed there for the editing work-and-being of @michelejmoses & @reetamac, who work with me @GuernicaMag, and the details are classified, but I just wanted you to know, writers love them. Cuz they're awesome.

“Whatever I wrote would be different from what Antonio himself would have written, and it could never be enough. But still, I thought, it could be something.” A beautiful, powerful piece by @emdashkap for @GuernicaMag.

For @GuernicaMag, I wrote about a Guatemalan man who dreamed of migrating to the US. Then his ambition shifted: to warning others why they shouldn’t do the same. Before he could tell his story, he died at the hands of the country he’d lost faith in. guernicamag.com/the-life-and-d…

Among the wonderful details in @kimondegreef's latest piece for @GuernicaMag: Like us, finches are dismayed by quarantine; the men who love (and profit from) them insist they don't sing as sweetly once they come out.

"History is infrastructure. There is personal history and there is the history of a relationship. There is the history of where we are from, the places we lived, where we traveled, the dogs we owned. I married a woman. That is my history." I love this essay by @Mlynettedamico.

For 5 years I’ve been writing this essay about CSA & how my understanding of what happened to me radically changed over time. It’s one of the most naked things I’ve written. I removed & replaced “essayist” from my bio 10 times while struggling through it. guernicamag.com/girls-on-the-p…

This story by @kimondegreef about a raccoon trapper who has a special affection for the animals is a perfect Valentine's Day read—a complicated kind of love letter. 💗🦝 guernicamag.com/racoon-trouble/

Most of what I published this year was immigration reporting, of which I’m v. proud.
But if you read 1 thing by me this year, I’d ask that it be this essay, made of words & photos, on my relationship with my 3 y.o. neighbor at the height of NYC’s spike.

And while you’re there, check out @GuernicaMag’s wide-ranging, multi-genre coverage of the pandemic. It’s been a balm for me this year.

For @GuernicaMag I wrote about shame, nostalgia and seeing the movie GET OUT at the drive-in. Always grateful to one of the best editors @erynloeb guernicamag.com/at-the-drive-i…

I’m proud to have published anything this year especially since I spent so much of it depressed and rewriting a proposal on Francesca Woodman and Nan Goldin and the complicated gaze of female friendship— hint, hint! Here are the pieces that did make it out!

"My night at the drive-in asked me to do the work that I had been sidestepping for years: to sit, alone and uncomfortable, with only myself to play both audience and actor."

"It was a kind of sartorial jetlag, as if fashion and time had fallen out of sync."

In this impossible time, can fashion still be used to invent and reinvent? In #ClothesInterrupted, our new special issue, artists explore what happens when the relationship between fashion and time starts to feel distanced, socially or otherwise: guernicamag.com/clothes-interr…

There is so much to chew on in this essay by the brilliant @pludger. I can't stop thinking about her granny Mabel, writing songs and "trying to play the hurt away."

In "Do The Right Thing," Mother Sister is "crying for Radio Raheem, but the depth of her emotion suggests she’s reacting to an act of genocide." @renee_e_simms
