🧵 One of my goals coming into this year was to insert more looseness into my work, to allow muscle weakness and spasms and exhaustion to become part of my art instead of fighting against it.

It's a personal embracing, but it's also an unintended protest against generative AI, which can't do this.

Are we done pretending Lin Manuel Miranda isn’t corny as Hell, or is that an opinion I still have to keep to myself?

This meme was made sometime before the elections in 2024.

Didn’t expect Bad Bunny to drop an album hinting at pro independence sentiment.

Didn’t expect a draft of an executive order kickstarting the PR decoupling off the USA, translated to MAGAspeak to reach as far and wide as it did.

BREAKING: Israeli tanks fired directly at civilians on Al-Rashid Street while the latter were trying to return to northern Gaza, shortly after the ceasefire agreement had supposedly taken effect.

Pro-independence sentiment has gained steam due to several factors. One of them is ever rising price of electricity. The electric grid was forcefully privatized by the FOMB, a product of PROMESA Act, a bipartisan effort made law under Obama.

Not really. Pro-statehood politicians in Puerto Rico are the anti-LGBTQ, authoritarian far right. Younger generations are running away from it. Trump and Republicans are merely adding gasoline to that particular fire.

I refuse to let my hope break. Maybe hope is the only thing the Occupation has not stolen from us. I just want this slaughter to stop not for victory, not for their approval but so we can live one single day as human beings, not numbers.

I am from Gaza. I live among rubble and blood, and every day I lose a piece of my soul with those who are taken. I am tired of false promises and the world’s silence, tired of counting martyrs instead of days. I know the Occupation has no mercy, and I know politics is a dirty game. But still…

Don't tell Palestinians not to have hope or that the ceasefire deal is doomed.

They know what Trump is. They know what the Occupation is. They live under Occupation every day. We're not doing them any favors telling them what they already know.

Let them have hope. We all need it. So do they.

Just got my Covid and flu shots. Advice: call your insurance first and ask if they will cover your Covid shot, the doctors’ office wouldn’t give it to me until I did so and it depends on per-state rules that states have been adopting to work around the federal assault on vaccines.
