Día 417: Después de más de un año de pandemia, por fin tenemos vacunas contra el COVID-19. Lo que no tenemos es un plan global para repartirlas efectivamente y equitativamente. Qué se hace, no? A seguirla nomas…con buen humor y buena voluntad. Un efecto imprevisto del novedoso coronavirus, que ojalá se vuelva aún más común? […]
Boy, do we need to talk more about spirituality. The subject feels so daunting sometimes, though. So esoteric. Even now, still, after our most pandemical year that will not quit, you’d think we’d all be like, floating on air and shit, our auras vibing with one another in harmony, soundtracked by singing birds. But no. […]
I’m sitting here, overcome with emotion. Oh, I’m levitating, but I’m also feeling something I don’t often allow myself to feel: tears in my eyes. Out my eyes. Down my face. The groceries are done. Fortune cookies still must be gotten and mailed to my nieces and nephews, alongside well wishes and the spirit of […]
As some of us begin to see our communities re-re-re-open this COVID-19 season, let us remember that one person’s moment of quote-unquote freedom almost 11 months into our ongoing global pandemic is barely another’s second-wave cuarentena. Four hundred forty-two thousand Americans have died from this ever-evolving pest, OK, of course to say nothing of the […]
Les cuento que la cantante colombiana Karol G se ha juntado con Kappa, la marca italiana de sportswear, para lanzar la primera colección de su nuevo partnership, KAROL G x KAPPA, inspirada por “Bichota,” el nuevo single de la ganadora del Latin Grammy. La línea representa el mensaje empoderador de la canción y cuenta con […]
Some Peruvians may be fucking around, alright, but most Peruvians are not fucking around, lemme tell ya. (So if you’re coming my way, just don’t. And do not get it twisted.) Early this evening, Peru, my birth country, swore in its third president in a week, a man named Francisco Sagasti. (I don’t know her.) […]
And on the seventh month…we couldn’t rest easy, because the COVID-19 pandemic’s still going on – but, I think, we have managed to carry on, now, haven’t we. I mean, yeah, everywhere around the world there is some sort of conflict as I type, but the planet’s filled with people who simply shine. That’s my […]
Fall is here. Ya llegó el otoño – o la primavera, dependiendo de dónde estén. Tengan cuidado; el COVID-19 sigue por todos lados. 🙌🏽😷👍🏽 Creo que lo de las máscaras ya se calmó un poco (más vale prevenir que lamentar, after all), porque people were not getting the message that masks are like the easiest, […]
America’s PTSD is real, and it’s time we acknowledge as much, as a culture and as a melting pot. We the people make this country amazing. What can I tell ya, the sun is shining again on San Francisco. And I’ve been working on my shit. I left Lima for Miami 20 years ago last […]
We should all be farmers. We should all be farming. By which I mean we should all know how to work our land, how to nurture it during the short while we are with it on it, how to take from it without leaving it barren for whomever is coming next. Instead, we are warring. […]
