@arca.tierra gave me a farm to table easter sunday brunch and it was a longtime dream of mine to visit one of the 2% of chinampas today that are used for native agriculture. every decision to support local and eat seasonally protects this paradise we call home 🌁❤️🔥🌎🏞️🍃
DOUBLE TAP IF YOU❤️ NERDS
clips from my most recent scene at el Laboratorio Moray - I love how nerdy I look - my lab coat was perfect for this occasion. Lots to say about this scene but I'm about to eat tacos so all i'll say for now is our people are scientists, engineers, and scholars and this is all tied to land and agriculture - not separate from it.
in 2025 i reached one decade- 10 years of being a student of photography and astrology - cultivating skills in memory, pattern recognition, and intuition.
this exhibit is by patrick martinez at the Hammer’s MADE IN LA 2025 exhibit. imagery borrowed from Maya murals peek out from commercial signage and peeling layers of paint. unfolding slowly, with visual complexity these works argue that the past belongs to the present.

BABY CONSUELO - TODO DIA ERA DIA DE ÍNDIO 👾🪅🇧🇷
She's one of my personal heroes just for singing this in the 80s because EVERY day WAS ours!!! and my god, it was splendid. my ethnic studies teacher and rock club advisor once asked me how i manage to move through this world "shamanically" shoutout @mannytown 🌠 + recently a close friend asked me how i find the energy to create in these times; the answer is by dissociating from this timeline and make-believing i am in the abundant moment that was robbed from me taking it back in the process, second by second. fairly unsure i’ll ever be able to put it into words. somehow, someway i remember! so does Baby! and i hope that listening to this song you do too. 👾🪅
