I live in a sort of painful, sort of happy being. As an activist, as a writer, as a poet, as a traveler and a settler. I left Barcelona when I was 19, and eventually settled in this strange place called Portland. Since my family moved out of Spain as well I lost all sense of home. Most of what I do is directed to figuring out how the hell am I going to recreate it, in such a foreign land.

Me gustaría volver a empezar a escribir aquí y, para eso, voy a actualizar lo que va a pasar este verano. De primeras, he conseguido un trabajo de niñera que me hace mucha ilusión. En ningún momento he tenido la oportunidad de dejar entrar en mi vida a niños pequeños, y ahora mismo creo que sería muy beneficioso para mí. La familia confía mucho en mí y, por fin, voy a empezar este lunes antes de irme por 12 días a la costa este a ver a mis padres, mis abuelos e irme a la conferencia de Socialism en Chicago durante los últimos 4 días.
He estado tratando con muchos problemas que no he sabido controlar últimamente… espero tener un poco más de tiempo este verano para comprender lo que me está pasando un poco mejor y, así, poder seguir adelante.
List of books for the summer:
- Sex at Dawn
- The Art of Listening
- Neoliberalism, Imperialism, and Social Struggles in Latin America
- We Created Chavez: A People’s History of the United States
- Various articles on Social Reproduction Theory
- Literatura Hispana

You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?
It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

A woman-of-color who writes poetry or paints or dances or makes movies knows there is no escape from race or gender when she is writing or painting. She can’t take off her color and sex and leave them at the door or her study or studio. Nor can she leave behind her history. Art is about identity, among other things, and her creativity is political.

Estoy muy triste. ¿Será que este es mi estado mental permanente, y que cada vez que me siento feliz me estoy engañando? Eso es lo que parece ser, últimamente…

The sad thing is, while we (rightly) condemn the actions of the 19 year-old who detonated a bomb at the Boston Marathon, we send 19 year-olds overseas to drop bombs on people in situations that all-too-frequently lead to the deaths of innocent children, women, and men. Far from facing condemnation…
