  • Awesome. // Mexico City Approves Gay Marriage http://bit.ly/5LOaLx #
  • I can't stop listening to Aaliyah feat. Timbaland – "We Need A Resolution." http://bit.ly/4uFdRY #
  • "If there is any town this world would be better without this is it." Dogville was intense. Now I know how Jehovah felt during the flood. #
  • A big part of the reason I don't blog anymore is the vast amount of material I'm RSSubscribed to but don't read. Status updates do the job. #

Oh, Anzaldua

Reading Anzaldua makes my eyes watery. This Chicana lesbian talking about the border in Texas resonates with me. It hurts to think about how late I was introduced to her. It hurts to think about what if I never did. It makes me wonder how different my life and thoughts would have been if I’d found her sooner. She, this queer intellectual poet, makes me feel like I have a home among los mexicanos, a home I never knew existed and that I never thought I would have.

  • Now that I have a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens I'm ashamed of every other picture I've ever taken. #

  • Great paper at #aaa09 by Elizabeth Roberts on how c-section scars are used to mark class among Ecuadorean women. #
  • I asked someone to friend me on Twitter and if she retweeted a text message I sent her. Can't decide if I'm being sloppy or avant-garde. #
