It’s Friday the 13th, and there is a Fullmoon! Growing up, I never really understood the association of this day with witches and evil. I wrote a compilation of various bodies knowledge I’ve picked up on my way. Mostly verbal and some written. So check it, I am about to drop some decolonial knowledge on yo ass.
Alright y’all. I wrote this blog to serve as a resource/guide for people looking to take a beautiful nature trip on a budget. I loved my journey along Highway 395, and I hope one day to see more black and brown faces in these white-dominated spaces.

Hood Digest put out a call and our community showed up big time. A huge thank you to CARECEN, Patria Coffee and all of you who responded. Thanks to your generous support, we raised $4,900 for families affected by the volcano.

Prepárense mucha. Su guía de votante#VoteDoña por fin ha regresado con la potencia de las prediciones Mayas del 2012.
Al-muthafuckin- right. The Vota Vato voter guide is back with the vengeance of the 2012 Mayan prediction. And if you thought my ancestors were bullshittin’ when they said the world was coming to an end – you must not be watching the apocalypse unfold before our very eyes.
Public education is incredibly important for our communities – it’s also incredibly controversial. We kick off our next series to dissect the history of public education and the fight for education justice.
I answered. I couldn’t understand anything she was saying. She was frantically screaming and crying. The only thing I could make out was, “I.C.E took dad, I.C.E took dad!”
Ay, ay, ay! This election is reminiscent of the 2016 Presidential race. Liberals all in their feelings because all of the candidates are meh – yet they’re trying desperately to convince you that their horse is the one to place your bet on.
Meanwhile, Lefties in the hood are shrugging their shoulders ‘cause none of these candidates truly embody the progressive values we seek in our leaders.
Voting season is upon us again and voting is important! But, do you know who & what to vote for? More importantly, do you know why voting is a life and death matter?
