Snuff films!! This shouldn’t be so hard.

This artwork, titled Bulb Fields (also known as Flower Beds in Holland), was painted by Vincent van Gogh in April 1883. This is Van Gogh's very first garden painting using oil paints. He created it during his second year living in The Hague.

I have no doubt the snuff films are real.

And it was today I caught the lyric, “Changing gender is not an alibi” in the Emilia Pérez soundtrack. 🤯

Great Britain has been ahead of the US when dealing with the revelations in the Epstein files. Epstein survivor, Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, ‘Nobody’s Girl’ has been named Book of the Year at the British Book Awards! #ProudBlue #GreatBritian www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Grateful for the antifa shows I’ve watched this season: -Brecht’s Fear & Misery in the Third Reich; dir. Yaítza Rivera. -3rd Reich of Dreams; based on writing by Anne Nelson; dir. David Skeist. -James Clement’s Beauty Freak; dir. Danilo Gambini.

Don't treat us like animals. All this shit is flammable. #justice

Someone threw a beer at Trump at one of his rallies. It’s okay; it was draft beer, so... He dodged it.

"I love the torture video" a letter TO epstein.

Since he's okay, it's probably a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files and we won't stop talking about it.

We shouldn’t be building a ballroom for someone who raped kids.

I don't think the "it was fake" takes are a sign of mass conspiracy brain. I think people have rightly assessed Trump, over decades now, as a liar, a cheat, and a Not Serious Person, and it seems fitting to respond to events that threaten his existence with the same casual disregard for the truth.

The real story is that no one can trust anything that happens around Donald Trump. He needs to be impeached and removed immediately.

He is using this as an infomercial to get people to support his stupid ballroom. And Republicans are just gonna smile and nod and let this be normalized.

anyone who attended that WHCA dinner is an embarrassment, and current events have not changed this

It's not clear that whoever is on the ground is dead. You can barely see anything about them. But there are context clues that might suggest it. Secret Service seems much more interested in getting people out of the room than they are in the person on the ground.

Poll ratings

It’s giving season finale but the damn season won’t end.

Skeptics of Puerto Rican independence should become acquainted with the Ponce Massacre & the murders at Cerro Maravilla. If you’re asking for a why.

Like my play The Actor in Spite of Herself but it’s the activist in spite of themselves 🤣

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

Lower. We can go lower. Make those red bars tiny blips.

Deed theft Bed-Stuy

“I’ve seen a lot of evictions; I have never seen anything like this.” -The guy looking to change the lock re the crowd/community support.

At the edge of my seat with the special election in VA. We will come out of this.

Fuck this was hard to read Fuck every anti vax motherfucker who killed this child.

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

Donald Trump was mentioned a million times in the Epstein files and has not had to answer a single question about it.

Nuremberg was last year’s best film.

Watching Joe & Mika almost doting on Hillary Clinton is hilarious 😆

Remember that moment in 2066, Part 4, when at a party some folks are watching Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me? I won’t look away but sometimes I do really want to look away.

Can’t get over these 2 lines from Kiss of the Spider Woman: “Red’s your color.” “It always was.” 😭

The line between memoir and fiction can be a blurry one. With little editing, I enjoy sharing these almost as I wrote them seven years ago. This one is about San Demetrio, Vega Baja. Enjoy! javierantoniogonzalez.substack.com/p/casa-x-casa

I am one of MANY who took a long, hard look at Bernie at the beginning of the 2016 campaign. I’ve got the bumper sticker. I gave my $27. And the harder I looked, the more I found that Hillary Clinton was the superior candidate. And it wasn’t close.

Have you heard of “first in the nation?” It’s a term used to describe the state that gets the first presidential primary. I can already see your eyes glazing over, but, stick with me here. Any state that goes before Super Tuesday is part of what’s called the “early window.” 1/

This one feels like it was written in a narrative voice from a bygone era, but I still like to share these stories as they were original written. Enjoy! open.substack.com/pub/javieran...

let’s normalize telling people you love their work, y’all. life’s too short; no point pretending you’re not a fan if you are. 💜

Not the people who campaigned tirelessly for Kamala Devi Harris. We’re cool.

¡Buen día! Here’s my second story from the collection, “Ernestina & Other Stories.” 7 more to go. Enjoy! javierantoniogonzalez.substack.com/p/i-heard-a-...

Starting today, I will be sharing every Friday 1 of the stories from my collection, “Ernestina & Other Stories,” inspired by my first couple of solo trips to Cuba, especially to the village of Trinidad & other tales from NY & PR. Enjoy! javierantoniogonzalez.substack.com/p/el-yesterday

New post on Substack—a weekend like no other. 🖤 javierantoniogonzalez.substack.com/p/on-death-a...

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

Having grown up in Puerto Rico I so enjoy having a fraught relationship with Cuba, be almost at war with Venezuela while hesitating about visiting DR bc of its relationship to Haiti./s Divide & conquer truly pulled a number on us. Love thy neighbor, they said.

Se avecina un block party.

An actor once told me that, after rehearsals with me, she would go home & cry. I thought it was bc of my tone of voice, my strength. Years later, ever so casually, she told the story again, with a new detail: she would cry bc when I expressed to the ensemble what I wanted, they would “just do it.”
