Interspecies Assemblage: The San Gabriel Valley through the lens of Jesús Romo https://t.co/6hQTmHodZD
New article up @BoomCalifornia . Thank you @pochogreatermx for the labor of synthesizing and scything my borderline psychobabble into meaningful content.
"The Death of a Horse" by Daniel Talamantes is a beautifully written send off. Not just for the horse, but for so much else we've lost.
The "native grasslands paved and developed" reminds me of my childhood, when I used to chase jack rabbits behind the fence. But living in the fastest growing town of the 80's took its toll, and now I sit at a Panera to read.
I'm not sure if @sdfay123 is the right Talamantes, but on the chance that it is, I thank you for writing this. Vivid. Will stick.
I'll be quoting a few of your lines here and there, and will be looking out for your work to read more.
The @wsgvbgc SGV Boys and Girls Club has ignored our calls to sever ties with #Quemetco (“Ecobat”). By hosting the Great Futures Breakfast at their facility this can only be interpreted as an endorsement of a toxic polluter. We call for a boycott! @hlpusd https://t.co/JghXzK53uU
"Perhaps that’s the under-cover truth to this whole apocalypse ruse. It’s the end of the colonizer’s world. It’s the end of white-jesus. It’s the end of borders. It’s the end of capitalism. It’s the end of white supremacy."

In remembrance of #MikeDavis, we are sharing our 2016 interview. As a disruptor and one of CA's most significant writers, his contributions to understanding spatial and racial politics in Southern California were as novel as they were essential. RIP. https://t.co/y0hxTrFDIS
“A distinct feature of #AvocadoHeights is its designation as an equestrian district which traces its legacy to the vaqueros of early Californio’s and Mexico—of which hold a vast majority of the demographics," Daniel Talamantes. @BoomCalifornia: https://t.co/sVub3n11QS
