Tiny Love Stories: ‘A Wise Friend Warned Me About Divorce’

I had a short piece published in @nytimes.com #tinylovestories Mine is “Unexpected News.” #younglove #nyc #babyname www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/s...

The Way We Weren’t: Inside the Leo Cave We met as two young men from different cultures. Although we drifted apart, our lives remained inextricably linked in ways I never could have imagined.

I’m late to the party here, but will catch up. This is the essay I wrote for @queerloveproject.bsky.social for #pridemonth2025 Insipred by @barbrastreisand.bsky.social song #thewaywewere open.substack.com/pub/queerlov...

It was a great movie. We had fun hanging out too. Thank you!

Thank you!

We need to practice self-balance more than ever! #yingyang #writerscommunity #life #us

I knew by the eyebrows and fresh cut. Grooming never lies! There’s more to this. #haircut #luigimangione #eyebrows

It really is #jamesbladwin #memoir #writingcommunity am I wrong?!

And you’re be a guest. The stories, carino! Ay, OY!😘

Ok. I need my own podcast. That moment when a director of a co, during an interview, says “I don’t like sleep. I live for this job.” Guuurl! Mami. This needs to be unpacked! Am I wrong?! #podcast #interview #writingcommunity #job

That’s awesome. Good luck!

This should be a way of life at this point #socialdistance #protectyourenergy #goodvibesonly #happyholidays

Finding Out 'What It’s Like to Be...' Through Slow Curiosity - Behavioral Scientist Curiosity can be a means to an end. But couldn’t it also be … the end? A reward in itself? Maybe we need a slow curiosity movement.

I discovered a new podcast #whatitsliketobe about my never ending curiosity with other ppl’s jobs. I’m excited yet jealous I didn’t think of it first 🤭 #podcast #jobs #people #writingcommunity behavioralscientist.org/finding-out-...
