I think the plunger is too big, I text. It isn’t sealing and keeps flipping on itself. No just keep trying it, my dad replies. I send a photo. That is what they do. That airpocket that forms is what pushes the shit thru. I am standing in my bathroom in my underwear. It’s 9:35…

“No sé cómo arreglarlo,” el hombre mayor dice, exasperado. No tiene mucho pelo, pero lo que tiene es blanco-gris, y lleva un bigote. El hombre frente él tiene mi edad, pienso, con pelo rubio y un bigote. Tomo otro trago de mi agua de coco, y trato de concentrar mis ojos en mi libro. Pero…

“Have you tried that? Is it good?” The cashier at Trader Joe’s, a young 20s-something woman with dark hair and blue eyeliner pointed to the Spicy Peanutty Noodle Bowl with Chicken that I get every time I go. “Yeah! I like it,” I replied. “Is it very spicy or not too bad?” “I’d say it’s…

I remember when Miami started feeling like home. It was after winter break my first year here, when I left New York and arrived back in the heat and humidity, going straight to the pool to thaw. I hadn’t wanted to move to Miami, not really. I had done it for us, because we had…

A Saturday of hurkle-durkl’ing means a Sunday of getting things done. And there are many things to do today! A to-do list feels a bit like a slice cop-out, but hey, I’m on day 24! I’m allowed to do a to-do list for my slice! SUNDAY TO DO: Finish this slice & comment on two…

Today was a day to hurkle-durkle. I don’t remember how we first came across the term — maybe in someone else’s slice? — but it’s apparently been a trend on TikTok (which I’ve been off of since December), and is an old Scottish term meaning to lie/lounge around in bed when you should be up…

Esta mañana me levanté y leí el post de Ana. “Right! It’s multi-lit Friday,” pensé. Se me había olvidado. Leyendo sus palabras, me di cuenta de la importancia que tiene el español en mi vida. Aún cometo errores, normalmente con el uso de ser y estar o con el masculino y femenino. Pero de todos…

“Skadoosh.” “Seven.” “Eight.” “Nine?” “Nooo, big banana!” I pulled my AirPods out of my ears to see what was going on. N, E, L, and Christian were playing a game. We were still an hour out of Miami thanks to Friday traffic, and I was ready to shower, eat, and get to bed early after…
