I have a.. rough.. history with assuming good faith. And I am a low income, disabled person trying to survive with the only skill I can use for work.

So if you follow me, like my posts, comment and you make and/or share AI images, I’m not going to assume good faith. It’s an immediate block.

Trump is planning to install a statue of Columbus at the White House. For anyone who needs a reminder, here is why we don’t celebrate Columbus.

You’ll see a bunch of lists of Puerto Rican authors…and many won’t feature horror or crime writers. We also exist. We also make history.

1/ Rewatching the halftime show last night, I thought of this time I was driving for Lyft in New Orleans and I picked up this guy from the airport and drove him to the quarter.

He was a musician, brought his gear with him for some shows. I was listening to a Puerto Rican playlist- like Bomba and

Look around. It looks like art made by..Puerto Ricans... Just as it looks like Bad Bunny onstage at the Super Bowl. Just as it looks like me sharing what I see when I look at the mountains and plants and animals that surround my home..."

Ah, Bad Bunny left you with questions about power outages, storms, and our hatred of colonialism? Don’t worry, I got you. I’ll show you the aftermath of a storm, take you to the beach, show you what hides under the waves. I’ll show you our magia…

My knee is finally healing up! But the problem with having EDS is all the compensation my other leg has to do & subluxes as a result.

Meaning there are periods of time where I just haven’t been able to walk at all. Reallly wishing I had my old power wheelchair rn. I had to sell it a cpl years ago 😭
I haven’t had a fall in a while (my disabilities include mobility and I regularly use mobility aids), but I took a hazy tumble in the dark this morning and now my left knee has an ugly bump the size of a second kneecap :(

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.
