It’s all been too much, and now THIS.

I can’t NOT say something.

The whole ridiculous debacle over Tylenol causing autism has me feeling exhausted. 😔

I feel for every single person in the autism community, including individuals, parents, and caregivers and loved ones #autism

#MiGente, if you have Amazon Prime Video you can STILL catch the livestream of Bad Bunny’s last #DebíTirarMasFotos concert from his Puerto Rico residency! 🎶

Let’s break the Internet for #PuertoRico. 🇵🇷 May we be respected for being Latinos & Americans & for never abandoning our beautiful heritage.

It was just a month ago that Los Padres and I were in the town of Torrelavega, in Cantábria, Spain, sharing tapas, vino, and laughs with my longtime friend, Maria De Los Angeles.

Me: I absolutely do not want to have kids.

Also me, when a little girl in line near me makes eye contact, I smile, and she grins back: I WOULD SLAY DRAGONS FOR HER. 🐉🔥

A recent color photo shows a large group of shirtless, tattooed men behind bars in a Salvadoran prison camp. People are standing on the other side of the bars, pointing at the prisoners.

It had to be said. 😔

May you have a Good Friday filled with reflection, and may you have a peaceful and beautiful Easter weekend. ✝️

[Image description: A screenshot of a gradient blue, green, and yellow background featuring black text reads: “So many ‘Christians’ observing Good Friday would probably bring popcorn to the Crucifixion were it held today.” The sad face emoji is added. Then, it reads, “Jesus was an immigrant.”]

I’m not sure if these strawberries will hold on, but I’m rooting for them. 🍓

White text on hot pink background reads: “Personally, I don’t feel like the historical significance of the Ides of March gets talked about enough, quite frankly.”

As a person with disabilities and as a lifelong wordsmith, I can tell you that, yes, the words you use and how you use them matter. 📚🖋️

I am listening. We are listening. Your children are listening. ❤️‍🩹

This International Women’s Day has been a potent reminder that, while we are strong and capable of handling and achieving so many things, we need our people around us. 🫂👯‍♀️👫🏻👭

To all those in the past year who have supported me through many valleys, thank you! ❤️‍🩹💞
A young, light-skinned Latina woman with dark reddish-brown hair and glasses poses casually in front of a garden/park entrance in Cassis, France. There are beautiful trees behind her, and a fuchsia pink bougainvillea climber on the side of the quaint building behind her. She is wearing a white-and-black striped blouse with a denim blue breastpocket, cream-colored linen pants, gold and white and sneakers, and a straw hat, and her hands are in her pockets. She is smiling.

This is what a national— and global— hero looks like. He has defended his country and his people like every strong leader should.

Tonight, I’m embarrassed for America. This man went into a “diplomatic” meeting that turned into being cornered by bullies on the playground. 😔

I love seeing trees in full bloom, but the trees that have shed their leaves give us an opportunity to play with light and shadow. 🌞

I know next to nothing about photography, but with an afternoon this gorgeous, even an amateur can take great shots. 😍🩵

#nature #Florida #trees
The silhouette of a tree that has shed all its leaves is set against a blue sky. (Literally!) The sun glows upon a tree that has lost all its leaves.

Think about it— is your hatred for Democrats so strong that you would DENY basic medical care and services to:

- People with disabilities
- Elderly people
- People with low income
- Children?

Despite having decent health insurance, I DO rely on Medicaid for VITAL, LIFE-SAVING services, including receiving my catheters and other consumable medical supplies that I very recently talked about on my platforms. 🦽

#MiGente, I can no longer stay SILENT. This is too important to me. 🤐🚫

The Medicaid cuts that are being proposed as part of the cuts to the federal budget are causing me pain. It’s HURTING me, and will literally hurt me in the long term. 😢

I almost forgot to share these shots from this unhinged sunset sky from Orlando on Saturday evening. 🤯🌅

I hope you are dancing to “Salomé” and enjoying a cafecito (nearly cold, with way too much milk and sugar) and celebrating with all those who are waiting for us. 💕

With you always offering me the most pure and genuine unconditional love, I wish I could hear what you would always say to me: “te felicito y te admiro” (“I congratulate you and admire you”) with that serene smile you had. 🦋

Perhaps I haven’t moved past the denial stage yet, because I still feel your presence and the profound impact you’ve had on my life. 💐

It hasn’t even been a whole year since you left us, but I can’t stop thinking about those last three birthdays which I was Blessed to celebrate with you. 🥳

ENG: Abuelita Palomita (Grandma, who I called “little dove” in Spanish), today, which would have been your birthday, I curiously spent many moments thinking of you, reflecting on your role in my life, and enormous void I’ve felt since your passing. 😢
