Tomorrow is my Americaversary, the day we celebrate my mom and me arriving in the US. I’m not ever going to accept whitewashing of the Soviet horror but I particularly don’t play in the days before July 20.https://twitter.com/karol/status/1152033173196296192 …

It’s like the night before my birthday! Here is one of my fave pics, my first day of school. I didn’t speak any English, all of my info is pinned to the note on my dress. What the hell am I wearing! Being an immigrant is something you always carry because of outfits like this.pic.twitter.com/3fGKPfP2ap

And then my all-time favorite, the day I got my citizenship. The judge asked if anybody had any questions and I did: why did we have to be 18 to vote? My mom was scared I’d gotten into trouble when he pulled me on stage.pic.twitter.com/EDExpGS0XL
