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/

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

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:

My partner: just so you know, you should load the dishwasher tonight. Me: Hmm.. Is that why dinner is sandwiches? My partner, smiling from ear to ear: I had ZERO FORKS to give… you.

Any time Mia Mottley speaks, I listen youtu.be/B8AcyFMtDms

Sang some traditional Jamaican songs with the kid tonight… by request 🥰🇯🇲

So, who else is tuning in for the Bad Bunny concert on Sunday evening?

It's taking longer to find a new job when you are laid off. I get so many inquiries from people who have been out of work for over a year.

Not sure when I signed up for SaksOff5th, but without the gmail promotions filter I’m getting the liquidation sale emails and… whew… I was never the target audience. A jacket that’s 70% off that still costs $500+ is not for me.

WHYYYYYYYYY? Why a 2-hour delay??? *watching my vacation time float out the window*
