If you’re rolling up a blunt or doing cheap drugs in general just remember that U.S. drug users are funding the killings of innocent Mexican people.

Excerpt from Hilando Fino, Julieta Paredes
The difference between “a gender perspective” [perspectiva de genero], “a focus on gender”[enfoque de genero] and “gender equity.”  The concept of “gender equity” sought to construct an imaginary wherein the roles assigned by patriarchy to women and men could some day be equal. But this is exactly what isn’t possible, precisely due to the critique that gender makes: the masculine gender is such...

David Foster Wallace on Kafka
What Kafka’s stories have, rather, is a grotesque and gorgeous and thoroughly modern complexity. Kafka’s humor not only not neurotic but anti-neurotic, heroically sane — is, finally, a religious humor, but religious in the manner of Kierkegaard and Rilke and the Psalms, a harrowing spirituality against which even Ms. O’Connor’s bloody grace seems a little bit easy,...

“But to tear down a factory or to revolt against a government or to avoid repair of a motorcycle because it is a system is to attack effects rather than causes; and as long as the attack is upon effects only, no change is possible. The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself, and if a factory is torn down but the rationality...

Name
In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing. It was my great-grandmother’s name and now it is mine. She was a horse woman too, born like me in the Chinese year of the horse—which is...

Para que tú me oigas mis palabras se adelgazan a veces como las huellas de las gaviotas en las playas. Collar, cascabel ebrio para tus manos suaves como las uvas. Y las miro lejanas mis palabras. Más que mías son tuyas. Van trepando en mi viejo dolor como las yedras. Ellas trepan así por las paredes húmedas. Eres tú la culpable de este juego sangriento. Ellas están huyendo de mi guarida...

My summer reading list began with about 20 books. I can count the books I read this summer with one hand. It’s not like I’ve lost interest in reading, I love talking about books and authors, but for some reason I have become an extremely slow reader. My biggest problems are that I have too many things to read around me and I’m unable to finish any book I start.  This whole summer...
