Day 21: The heaviness within society has been weighing on me. I needed to say something.

What am I listening to today? New Radicals.
A short history of a late-90s band that showed up, made something sincere, and disappeared—leaving a soundtrack that still holds up. 🎧

Day 19: I’ve been falling behind on my videos, and the reason is pretty simple: work got busy and my ideas needed time to catch up. Sometimes thinking, teaching, and creating all pull from the same well. Here’s what’s been going on 👇🏽

As someone who is a PoC and is an instructor who teaches for a MSI and HSI, this bums me out. This also saddens me as an Asst. Director of the Center for Latino Studies. We only want to help students understand their culture and diverse perspectives.

A lot of people don’t like the idea of AI in the classroom, but realistically I believe we as educators need to continue to adapt and innovate using the technology we have to help our students.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social will the new Blue Beetle series be set in El Paso like the comics? Being from El Paso, it would be great to see him back in the 915.

There is a lot of scary and sad things going on in this world. It’s getting hard to stay positive, but we have to find some light in the darkness.

This year, I made it a goal to finish my book project. I’m writing this to keep myself accountable and to also manifest it.

Blue has always been my favorite color. I guess it makes sense to be here. Hoping for good vibes here!
