On this National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day, we remember that:

REMEMBERING is power.

PROTECTING HIV funding is community care.

FIGHTING for each other is a sacred act of love rebellion.

The government may be shut down but we ain’t!

Head to saveHIVfunding.org for ways to take action.
Thank you, miss major.
for your laughter.
for your fight.
for reminding us that we are worth protecting.

rest in power.
rest in love.
rest knowing your children have it from here.
i had to set one of the hardest boundaries in what was one of the most important relationships in my life this past summer and sleep has eluded me. the silver lining* is that i have discovered some great shows. “family law” on the CW and it’s app is an absolute delight and great queer storylines.
i carried bags this summer. that’s how she got through. 🙌🏽
keep fighting. keep loving. keep speaking truth to power. and please, keep telling, shouting and documenting our individual and collective stories!
this was on youtube for a quick minute a few years ago. i watched this along with the paula abdul movie. still so good.
seriously, i still miss black planet and mijente. BUT truly, honestly, i am still tryna get over CL’s ban.
Today is the seventh annual #TransphobiaIsASin campaign. As we witness the continued attacks on trans people, we continue to remind the world of trans people’s right to thrive!

Imagine alienating your constituents by caping for billionaires for months only to have them loudly and publicly embarrass you. 😬

samantha fox emerged from a page 3 model in the UK to an international pop star in 1986 with her top 5 hit “touch me.” she then scored 2 more US top 10 hits with “naughty girls” (1988) and “i wanna have some fun” (1989) - both written + produced by full force. (1) #music #80smusic #dancemusic

“wanna drop a house (on that bitch)” was originally released in 1995. featuring uncredited vocals by heather leigh west, it was the junior vasquez remix that helped propell the tongue and cheek “wizard of oz” play on words track to number 21 on billboard dance club chart. (1) #musichistory
The title, inspired by a lyric from Beyoncé’s transcendent track “II HANDS II HEAVEN”, encapsulates this moment and where we’re headed. It’s a sonic journey of our favorite songs of 2024—a mix of beats, vibes, and lyrics that define our year and kept us moving forward.

Special thanks to @granvarones.bsky.social for the awesome T-shirt(s)! And for bringing me back to the modeling business! 🤪
THIS is a reminder.
THIS is a call to action.
THIS is a fact!

On this #WorldAIDSDay may we all remember to remember that AIDS activism is rooted in the belief that EVERYONE deserves access to safety, food, treatment, housing and humanity.

WE FIGHT ON.
