🗣️ INVEST IN CARING (In other words, what @chanda.blacksky.app said)

There was a time in Q1 2025 when the only job listings with $120K+ salaries for architects with 15+ years of experience was for detention/justice facility projects. And data centers.

give me the window heat pump now. I am no longer asking

Whoa.. Saturday is Valentine’s Day ❤️ And next Tuesday is MARDI GRAS 🎭 Where did the time go?

All the sweet messages I’ve gotten from all over, people who saw and enjoyed the show, and know how much I love Benito 🥰 Great day 🥹

I love love love this detail

if you wanna cry go search up the videos of people from smaller latin american countries crying that they saw their flags on the super bowl, it’s so fucking awesome what he was able to do last night.

this woman from belize was the first one i saw

THISSSSS 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

This was Puerto Rico's moment, a spotlight on a collective son who quit bagging groceries a decade ago and became the world's most streamed artist on Spotify last year.

¡Maldita sea, OTRA APAGÓN! - El Apagón, Benito Antonio

Not to overlook CARICOM’s Small Island States, the framing is “flags of sovereign countries” (including Grenada 🇬🇩)

Fun fact: my (Spanish-speaking Jamaican) Mom played the cuatro!

Bad Bunny reclaimed América from the United States. And made the United States just one of many in a continent where we’re all americanos. Con minúscula. “God bless América,” he goes. And then the lists all of it: Sea 🇨🇱 🇦🇷 🇺🇾 🇵🇾 🇧🇴 🇵🇪 🇪🇨 🇧🇷 🇨🇴 🇻🇪 🇬🇾 🇵🇦 🇨🇷 🇳🇮 🇭🇳 🇸🇻 🇬🇹 🇲🇽 🇨🇺 🇩🇴 🇯🇲 🇭🇹 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇵🇷 “Together we are América.”

Happy @BeckyHammer.bsky.social recovery day 🙌🏽

If you are new to Bad Bunny, you need to check out @beckyhammer.bsky.social's crash course on Benito, Reggaeton, the culture that shaped him and (por supuesto) Perreo

Peep the LIGHT BLUE Puerto Rican flag in the window The flag with the light blue triangle represents the Puerto Rican independence movement For many years it was illegal to display on the island (Lots more light blue flags forthcoming in this performance)

Don’t ever shut up about this. It’s the truth.

I owe my coworker $10 - he guessed correctly!

TWERK PERREO means TWERK

Yall—

Unidos somos América.

Sums up the whole game

Pretty sure that was supposed to represent Bad Bunny going back to give his Grammy to his childhood self.

God Bless (The) America(s)! 🙌🏽

Bad Bunny as a kid about the same age, which is the point I think.

Pretty sure it wasn’t actually Liam. But it was a clear homage.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

BENITO CALLED OUT JAMAICA 🇯🇲 And sang my favorite line from El Apagón While hanging from a light pole!!! I’m so HAPPYYYYYYYYY 💃🏽

BECKYYYYYU @beckyhammer.bsky.social

HALFTIME ITS HALFTIME!!!!

OK, I was discussing Bad Bunny with a student, speaking about "perreo", and found this song to share. Not only I had no idea Bad Bunny is crossdressing/ in drag and perreando in it, but also ends with a quote about respecting consent. Respect. #learnspanish www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtSR...

I have also seen how reduced speeds has no effect on commutes. Driving an average of 45 mph on I-95 (speed limit is 55 mph) still got me to my 30-miles-away destination in the same time.

“ According to Steward, certain words were flagged during the approval process for event flyers: It was ‘black,’ ‘affirmative action,’ and ‘women’ as well. “

It’s like telling a Michelin star chef that their meals take hours of prep but you can just microwave ready meals in minutes, therefore you win. These people are so brainless, so coarse, so incredibly absurd and ignorant that it boggles the mind.

Just know our Rattlers have already figured out ways around this latest hurdle 🐍 My people are creative AF ⚫️🟢🟠

“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.” Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

You know how I know Benito is like me? His Mom taught English in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Mi madre enseñaba Español en Jamaica 🇯🇲

(IG is evil but) I highly recommend you see the video clip of Kinako 🤣 www.instagram.com/p/DUdy4WRj7sL/

“Hard work can always beat talent, if the talent is hardly working.”

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Temporarily changing my colors from Mardi Gras 🟣🟢🟡 to Puerto Rico 🩵❤️🤍

Me, in my head, anytime someone mentioned public relations in the past year: “P f*ckin’ R” 🇵🇷

The African American Quilters of Baltimore is a vibrant guild of artists and craftspeople focused on sharing the tradition of quiltmaking as an expression of Black cultural heritage. baltimorebeat.com/the-women-up...

16°F, feels like NEGATIVE FOUR. Spare a warm thought for your friendly neighborhood island girl 🥶 #FreezingMyRoyalRastaTayTaysOff

I’m enjoying the fact that Benito and his music have taken over my social media. A welcomed respite 🇵🇷 💃🏽 🎶

Me, on a Friday night:
