I have a new story out today @maudlinhouse.bsky.social! Writing it was heavily inspired by the increasing cost of groceries and general anxieties around money and trying to live a stupid little life!

My article went up in @teenvogue.com — it was so great to work with such fantastic editors ✨

"Slightly less covered is the wealth of Boricua history that makes his art as powerful as it is, including over 100 years of fraught Puerto Rico-U.S. relations that led to his arrival. This history is crucial for understanding the significance of where Bad Bunny stands now, & where he is going next"

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Could Finally Spotlight Important Boricua History on the Mainland

Bad Bunny is perhaps the only pop star fully equipped to take on the current American sociopolitical ecosystem and the fact that a show must entertain.

it’s been a minute since i’ve published anything, so i’m especially grateful that @matchbooklitmag.bsky.social gave this little musing on love + leavings a home.

you can read the full piece here: matchbooklitmag.com/mb/relles/departures

Departures
by Dina L. Relles
handed you the promised coffee with an apology: no sugar, no milk, I’m sorry.

I don’t need those things, you said, and I fell in impossible love with you all over again.

I’d come from my room carrying everything I wanted to happen that didn’t. Now the lobby was too bright and smelled like grapefruits and your face was weary in a way that felt intimate.

You spoke quietly to me in the taxi, then held me twice at the terminal, which I took to mean you loved me too, despite.

“I’m not after sex. A look, a friendly gesture, maybe. Someone who will slow it all down. I’ve been doing this for over six years and no one has ever taken the bait. This outcome always leaves me so low I no longer feel hungry. And isn’t that the greatest savings tip of all?”

This is wonderful.
