Monica Surfaro of Tucson
@tucson-writer.bsky.social
Writer, zinester, culture & desert lover. Fleeing the dark places, staying in the light. Folklife, cultural traditions, my Calabrian ancestry, my son & his family are my life. As is Leigh, married 52 years.
Haven’t posted in months (family death, surgeries) but did today. Shocked at the vitriol in comments when video appeared on FB. People wishing me dead. I am 75 year old grandmother. What has happened to this country.

There is nothing I can do today about all the tragedies, so I walk, work as I can, and BREATHE.

I support local resistance @indivisibletucson.bsky.social, @ld18demsaz.bsky.social @gabbygiffords.bsky.social @arizonalist.bsky.social & others with all my being, but every once in a while I need to stop, restore & take time to enjoy & honor the desert.

The world is upside down, but the desert still brings me a sense of peace. Tonight, after the rains. Clouds, mountains & sunset over Tucson

I say this often: The desert is not for everyone. But if it calls to you, it is like magic—the skies, the earth, its nature.
