Martes, 23 de julio de 2019. Ayer participé de la marcha más grande y más pacífica de Puerto Rico. Fácilmente un millón de personas se dieron cita en el Expreso las Américas para decirle a Ricky Rosselló que se tiene que ir de la Fortaleza y soltar la silla de gobernador. Desgraciadamente, como ya había … Continue reading Una isla en jaque
4 de la mañana Abro una Medalla Porque no puedo pensar en más nada Los vientos soplan rabiosos afuera Se escucha un ruido que espanta a cualquiera Pasan las horas y Juracán sigue Batiendo esta isla que de esperanza vive Derrumbes, peste y escasez Lo que dejó el día después A picar palos y abrir … Continue reading 2017-10-7 – María
So recently I posted stuff I wrote during the storm. This post I wrote AFTER. The stories are true and despite the stress in my writing, everything turned out fine. October 12, 2017: Don't get sick. Whatever you do, don't let yourself get sick. It's not a good time to get sick now. Hospitals have … Continue reading Things I Wrote After the Storm – Hurricane Maria – Puerto Rico

And they are good ones. Currently, we … Continue reading 7 Puerto Rican Authors Writing in English
Septiembre 19, 2017. 8:46pm: Se apagan las luces. Ajá. Ya se fue– digo en voz alta. No sé por qué lo anuncio. Todo el mundo sabía que se iba a ir la luz. Era cuestión de cuándo. Pero coño, ni siquiera ha empezado a soplar. Me quejo, pero no vale la pena. No es como … Continue reading Durante el Huracán María… Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico got really lucky with Irma, but that doesn't mean shit didn't go down. Here are pics of the next day in San Juan where the effects were not as strong as on the eastern side of the Island. There are lots of trees on the ground and electrical posts broken. There is no … Continue reading Después de Irma (Puerto Rico)

So apparently, after yesterday's WBC game, Adam Jones made some comments about what motivated the US team to win. It almost seems like it was envy, or what we in PR call "estar moldío" because we had a big celebration planned for our team.

Hoy es día de elecciones en Puerto Rico y algunas personas me han expresado que éste año votar es literalmente botar el voto.

No lo cuestiono. … Continue reading Votar vs. No votar – Elecciones 2016
