So, what do I do for the #DíaDeMuertos Eve? I sit with those in my altar and toast with and for them. I reflect. I thank for the legacy and the lessons. Sometimes I cry; sometimes I laugh. I celebrate life. Those who left us, in many ways, are still around. ¡Salud, mis muertitos!

The injustice is actually much worse than I thought:

Wow. Biden at a Dem fundraiser tonight: “We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis.” He says Putin is “not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical,” nuclear or biological weapons because his military is underperforming.

We had this beautiful rose bush in the house I grew up in. My grandfather bought it for my grandmother because she wanted a new car, but they couldn’t afford it. So he planted a “Chrysler” rose instead.

When I was little, my mom wanted a BMW, but my dad couldn’t afford one. So he bought her a Maltese and named the dog “Beamer.” I’ve been aspiring to that level of romance ever since. 🥰
