I could show him this photo of 600 copies of my book about to be distributed to high school kids in my hometown *for free*. Morals over sales any day but sticking to my guns and still winning is just 👌🏼

I used to have a follower on Twitter who was a big fan of This Is Why They Hate Us until I bashed Israel which always surprised me because it’s unambiguously pro-Palestine, and before he blocked me, he said, “And to think I was going to teach your book in my class of 300 undergrads.” And I wish

Today I am at my most powerful because it’s Bi Visibility Day and Latine Heritage Month. Please consider picking up my novel This Is Why They Hate Us which is about a bi Latino teen trying to get over his crush on his best friend by getting under someone else 🩷💜💙

Sometimes I need to take a break from pitching my book, so I let other people do it. Here’s an extremely accurate and succinct summary of This Is Why They Hate Us from a grown man who tried to get it banned from his local library

I just donated to help SPIDER-MAN, who took on nazi scumbags trying to invade Minneapolis again. Arrested by our local cops (boooo) who were diligently defending their racist turd pals. Let’s help good ol’ Webhead with his defense! (PS I can vouch for the GoFundMe creator) gofund.me/6f36a1ac1

Four years ago today, I became a published author. This Is Why They Hate Us is my love letter to raunchy teen comedies, to East LA, to my fellow queer Latinos, to Palestinian resistance, to bad dick jokes, and continuing to exist despite The Horrors

Happy pride month (pronounced prad munth)! If you’re looking for a fun queer read, might I suggest my book, This Is Why They Hate Us, which is about a Mexican teen trying to get over his crush on best friend by getting under someone else.
