What is Of Spanglish and Maximalism?
First off: It’s my Substack, a weekly updated blog you can subscribe to. But as far as the content of said blog…I’m still figuring that out. My Substack started getting lots of attention from my ‘Make it Make Sense’ column, in which as a native Iowan and former higher-ed DEI professional, I detail my messy break up with upper academia.
But like Whitman or Pre-Kanye Kanye, I contain multitudes. And Make it Make Sense is but a part of the whole. I also post personal essays on Latino identity and masculinity, musings on Writing, hot takes on culture, extrapolations on Neurodiversity, ramblings on video games (I main Ken Masters and think Tetris is goated), and old man yelling at clouds about dance (Ohad Naharin is a biter and I’m not quite sure if I’m 100% on board with Breaking being in the Olympics.)
