¡Falta una semana! Que empiece el conteo...

RIP Jane Goodall, a truly inspiring figure. A few years back I portrayed her in gouache for a book called Vidas sin fronteras:

Happy International Translation Day (be sure to watch to the end...) youtu.be/UGYL5sUwr2Q?...

Mañana en la siempre bella CASUL de la colonia Roma, hablaremos de algunos centenarios literarios pertinentes...

This is brilliant - have shared it with all the men in my life - let the healing begin www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fso...

Atención, compas chilangos: habrá mini temporada en octubre de La Alacena, un monólogo sobre la vida y obra de la pintora jalisciense María Izquierdo, con la actuación inolvidable de Adriana Moles: boletopolis.com/es/evento/37...

Esta semana en Literal - el texto que Mónica Nepote tejió para la ceremonia del premio Villaurrutia, otorgado este año a su formidable poemario Las trabajadoras: Tejer es unir literalmagazine.com/tejer-es-unir/

¡Viva México!

Porque todos queremos a Robin - ojalá puedan acompañarnos en esta lectura para celebrar la publicación de su poemario más reciente titulado Poquita fe en Editorial Antílope. Nos vemos este jueves en Casa Tomada a las 19 horas.

Ya viene en puerta la nueva temporada de La alacena, un monólogo dedicado a la pintora jalisciense María Izquierdo

We were in Los Angeles for the LéaLA book fair a few years back. I was walking down César Chávez Boulevard with my husband Francisco and fellow writer Benito Taibo when a woman in front of us spun around and screamed, "Why can't you speak American?!"

Beauty on the wall in Xalapa

Just received my latest translation in the mail 🎉- The Word Tree, Revitalizing indigenous languages in Abya Yala (University of Texas Press)

Thirteen of my husband's books are on this list! 😨

Diana cazadora - Parque de Chapultepec, Ciudad de México

Today's my birthday. My husband and son gave me a knife sharpener and said it was because I love cooking. Which is true, but I also feel like this could open up some exciting new opportunities for me in the revenge tragedy department...

As a first generation city slicker who helped edit and publish her grandmother's memoir of South Dakota during the Great Depression era-- this absolutely tracks and I am so glad someone finally is pointing it out. Traditional farm life was brutally hard! Everyone worked their fingers to the bone!

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

En la venta nocturna del FCE…

PG county, also home to my grad school alma mater the University of Maryland at College Park. I guess I was never a huge F.A. fan, but that's about to change 👇

Atención, asiduos de la venta nocturna anual del FCE: ¡nos vemos mañana!

Ausencia: a series of 9 lithographs created at La Máquina in Oaxaca. After completing the print, I gradually erased the drawing to underscore the fact that both the Mayan stingless bee (Melipona beeicheii) and the vanilla orchid are currently endangered due to environmental impact. #art #lithography

A lovely excerpt from The Genius of Trees by Harriet Rix portraying our relationship to these amazing plants as something that stretches far beyond our current notion of a natural resource subject to human destruction... can't wait to read the book. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

¡Una experiencia increíble, nuestro estreno en Campeche ayer!

My latest work through La Máquina taller in Oaxaca - Ambystoma mexicanum #lithography #art

This happened at the private university where I'd been teaching courses on art and poetry in Mexico City for seven years. I quit.

"Given the generally lax attitude about the abuse of women among powerful Republicans, it’s not surprising that the party’s congressional leaders don’t seem to be taking the accusations against Mills very seriously." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/o...

It’s that time of year again… #chilesennogada #vivaméxico

Question - why is the audio quality on calls to the bank such absolute garbage? It is really difficult to conduct business and clarify information when the person you are talking to sounds like they are speaking from an undisclosed location deep underwater

Esta semana en Literal, una nota sobre el nuevo cambio constitucional en El Salvador literalmagazine.com/el-salvador-2/

I know I am way late to this party and probably not the first person to make a connection, but I finally started watching Girls after finishing Too Much and isn't it basically a millennial version of Sex and the City with more realistic standards of living?

¡Acompáñennos este sábado!

Currently writing about a love poem from 1300 b.C.

I’ve shared my pies on other social media, so why not Bluesky? This bad boy is about to go in the oven

Me and my book projects

Good points are made here. Students Want the Liberal Arts. Administrators, Not So Much. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/o...

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up and long ago somebody left with the cup

Bamboo on a rainy day - perfect as always

agreed, and also where is the discourse around the only real problem with women's public restrooms: the goddamn mile-long line outside them because architects refuse to give us what we need (at least twice as many stalls)

Antigua, Guatemala, the capital city abandoned in 1773 after the eruption of a nearby volcano caused an earthquake and flooding from its crater lake - a three-fold natural disaster that bequeathed us a colonial time capsule in ruins
