The Owl House: Eda Clawthorne and Chronic Autoimmune Disease
I love The Owl House for many reasons and that list of reasons seems to grow with each episode. Now, after episode 4 of season 2, it’s clear that Eda’s beast curse is a metaphor for chronic autoimmune disease–or chronic illness in general. I wasn’t expecting this reading of her character or story, but episode… Continue reading The Owl House: Eda Clawthorne and Chronic Autoimmune Disease
When the Cicadas Came Last Time
This is my second go around with the 17-year cicadas. With such a long natural cycle, I can’t help but think back to where and who I was last time they came. I was 13 last time, just about to finish middle school, so in a sense, there they were at the end of one… Continue reading When the Cicadas Came Last Time
I Started a YouTube Channel
I’m now on YouTube! In 2020, I got really into YouTube, especially booktube and authortube, so I decided to give it a shot. Here are my first two videos. I knew my AMV editing skills would come in handy one day!

Dear White Diaspora Puerto Ricans…
Twice within barely a week, I’ve caught wind of white Puerto Ricans whipping out Puerto Rican identity and/or diaspora experience as a shield against criticisms of racism or criticism in general. The first instance infuriated me and the second is meme bait, but both have provided a catalyst for some issues I’ve been thinking about… Continue reading Dear White Diaspora Puerto Ricans…
2020 Reading Wrap-Up: Everything I Read This Year
2020 was certainly a year, but one of my highlights is that I finally started taking my reading more seriously and became more open to different formats of reading because being an author who isn’t reading voraciously is kind of embarrassing. I had just gotten into audiobooks at the very beginning of this year and… Continue reading 2020 Reading Wrap-Up: Everything I Read This Year
Early Cringe Writing: My Awful Middle School Book Ch. 10
At long last, we have reached the thrilling conclusion of my 10-year-old self’s magnum opus. I’d like to thank the academy, Clippy from Microsoft Word, and Powerpoint. Chapter 10 The next two weeks passed by surprisingly fast. We went back to school still blue but no one would notice. Absolutely no one. It’s fine. We… Continue reading Early Cringe Writing: My Awful Middle School Book Ch. 10
Is Happiest Season a Good Story?
The Internet has been abuzz with discourse ever since Happiest Season dropped on Hulu, a lot of it heated and most of it critical. As the hours go by, the takes get wilder. I don’t usually chime in on #discourse because I’m often late to the game or just haven’t seen or read The Thing… Continue reading Is Happiest Season a Good Story?
