Este laurel de la India (Ficus microcarpa) me parece horrible, el tronco principal muerto, las raíces muertas y expuestas, solo estan vivas las conectadas a dónde hay follaje, topiado, la jardinera rota, y aún así me gusta porque hay mucho encanto en estos árboles feos y curiosos

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.
