The Afghans, the Iraqis, the Yemenis, the Pakistanis, and the Somalis know what American military forces do. They do not need to read WikiLeaks. It is we who remain ignorant. Our terror is delivered daily to the wretched of the earth with industrial weapons. But to us, it is left behind on city and village streets by our missiles, drones, and fighter jets. We do not listen to the wails and shrieks of parents embracing the shattered bodies of their children. We do not see the survivors of air attacks bury their mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters. We are not conscious of the long night of collective humiliation, repression, and powerlessness that characterizes existence in Israel's occupied territories, Iraq, and Afghanistan. We do not see the boiling anger that war and injustice turn into a cauldron of hate over time. We are not aware of the very natural lust for revenge against those who carry out or symbolize this oppression. We see only the final pyrotechnics of terror, the shocking moment when the rage erupts into an inchoate fury and the murder of innocents. And willfully uninformed, we do not understand our own complicity. We self-righteously condemn the killers as subhuman savages who deserve more of the violence that created them. This is a recipe for endless terror.

My friend and I built and designed a bunch of things during the pandemic. It totally elevated everything in my place. I also made the plant stands and incense tray (too easy after building the shelves hehe). I always want to make the furniture for my home!
My friend had the idea for the wavy shelves… he said, I’ve never seen wavy shelves before! And then when we were cutting and sanding, we figured out why lol.

night life in trinidad, cuba:
there is this club at the bottom of a literal cave called "Las Cuevas"!! We had to check it out. It is not safe at all, but it is really cool. We also learned how to salsa, its pretty challenging. Sweaty blurry nights

We are working on our first film, El Turista Imaginario! It takes place in Trinidad de Cuba and is about Luis Martinez, a poet who travels the world through his mind and his pen but has never been further than 100 miles from his hometown.
Luis is unlike anyone I’ve ever met and Cuba is unlike a place I’ve ever been. It’s my first time putting together a feature length film and it’s like piecing together a giant puzzle. I fuckin love it!!
Will be posting more updates on the process here!

moving through grief
I lost a huge piece of my heart this summer and I've never experienced such deep grief. Sure, I've experienced loss like everyone else, but this is different. It physically hurts. Spiritually, emotionally, and mentally too.
It's been four months and I still cry almost every day. I've learned that grief is not just something that goes away. It comes in waves... I set an intention for myself early on to just feel everything and feel it deeply... to not run away or mask it or suppress it.
It's really fucking hard but just taking it day by day helps. Here are also a few other things that have been helping:
movement: daily walks in nature (I have a rock I like to walk to and sit on for awhile... it helps ground); yoga, and just added pilates. I find that grief is an energy and when I add movement, it helps me to move through that energy.
incense & candles: helps reset the space
silence: helps reset the mind
vinyls & books: love some good music and stories
rest: I think movement and rest go hand in hand. I've been going to yin yoga and taking lots of naps. I can def feel the energy boost.
good food + healing teas: food is energy; herbs give you reinforcements
loved ones: because what better medicine than fun with friends?
Just wanted to share in case this can be useful to anyone going through it too. 💛🌻

Living lighter
I've been consciously trying to figure out ways to leave less of an imprint on the earth... here are a few things that I've implemented:
Reducing plastic use:
Water delivery in glass jars (spring water AND no plastic!)
Laundry pods instead of plastic containers
Refillable deodorant
Reusable jars for when I go to the herb store
I buy compostable garbage bags and reuse the produce ones for daily trash (would like to eliminate those though)
Reducing paper waste:
Using towels instead of paper towels and napkins
Using canvas totes when grocery shopping
Shopping local:
I stopped shopping at huge corporate owned grocery stores like Whole Foods and shop at my local neighborhood places
Curbed my Amazon addiction (still definitely use it, but try my best to reduce as much as possible)
Diet:
Eating mostly plant based (but some wings and fish here and there)
Things that weren't so great that were reusable:
Menstruation cup (super messy and not for me)
Q-tips (I bought this off a kickstarter and didn't feel like it was cleaning anything)
If I owned my own place, things I'd implement:
Bidet (use way less toilet paper and everything is so much cleaner)
Solar panels
Ways to reuse gray water
Compost (you'd think LA apartments would have this but nope)
It might not seem like much listed out, but it does make me feel better that I'm actively trying to reduce my imprint. If everyone did something small, it'd add up to something big! A book that I just finished, Braiding Sweet Grass, really made me think about our relationship with the Earth and how we can make it more reciprocal.
I'm always looking for more ways to improve, so if anyone has any suggestions, would love to learn!
