By @Katbaggins Nothing has brought me more joy than being able to witness more Central American stories and individuals be uplifted in the last couple of years especially Salvadoran and Salvadoran-Americans. Some of my favorite Salvi’s doing the damn thing are: Felix Quintana, a multidisciplinary artist, photographer, educator and activist, Maggie Carranza creator of the…
Si usted es como yo, esta asta el pico de rabia. El clima político en este país se siente tan tenso – así como se sentía caminar por el Parque McArthur a eso de las 11 de la noche hace una decada – bueno todavia pero sin ofender. ¡Esta elección es la más importante de…

By @Katbaggins This next person does not need an introduction you know her as Diosa Femme from the popular podcast Locatora Radio! I met Diosa at a work event over a year ago that she was tabling. My first impression of her was how approachable and kind she was and I knew right then and…
By @Katbaggins I owe a lot of my success to my high school teachers who over time have become family. They always went above and beyond for my classmates and I. Senior year, they were answering my calls late at night helping me fill out my FAFSA application and reviewing my personal statements and recommending/presenting…

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.

Here is your #VotaVato cheat sheet for the U.S. Midterm Elections taking place on November 6, 2018.
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.
