If you hear background noise those are the turkeys in my Oaxacan home. Thank you @juandr47 Juan Diego for listening to my rants and emotions on this elixir of the Zapotec gods.

I worked on this story during the locked down last year with the amazing @rrrleLA. I learned so much more about Mezcal and the impacts it has on the land and on its makers. A big thank you to @Oaxacking, @GilbertMezcal, #lopezrealmezcal, and #mezcalmacurichus.

I'm in DTLA covering protests in response to the Supreme Court overturning #RoeVsWade. Hundreds of people are currently marching east on 4th Street. Follow @LATACO for updates.

I've been real nostalgic about peseros, collectivos, the privatized transportation that's being phased out in Oaxaca and Mexico City. Sure knowing routes/schedules is important but the culture we will lose and the movie scenes like Matando a Cabos race scenes.

This shits flat out racists, a lot of people don't own homes. The streets and alleys are where we are able to maintain our bikes.

I don't know why it makes me prouder to see my little cousin thrive in his first of many degrees then getting one my self but this man is going places and bringing us all with him. His joy is our joy, love you Zapotec Prince.

Stateside to spend time with my folks but the anxiety that comes with escape plan thinking hits me everytime I enter a public space. Todas las familias sentimos el dolor y la pena de saber que cualquier día podría ser el último día de nuestro niños. Qué feo tener que vivir asi

Why do you insist on calling me Latina after I have told you every month for the last 5 years that I am bene Xhon, Zapoteca? #zapotec #IndigenousPeoples #languamatters

🫰🏾also why representation matters in story telling

[Fabiola Santiago @OaxacTheTalk]

The way the mezcal industry portrays maestros mezcaleros is pretty homogenous. There’s complexity and nuance in how mezcal has survived. It’s not just men who’ve been living in one place for generations waiting to be discovered.
