When I first learned of Nancy Valverde, I was in awe. It's partly because of her boldness that I can walk around in my favorite masc shirts. She was a proud Chicana, Eastsider and lesbian who died on Monday. Here's my look at her life: laist.com/news/la-histor…

Nancy Valverde, LA’s Butch Lesbian Trailblazer, Has Died At 92

Valverde’s death comes after the city of L.A. honored her last year with a dedicated square.

#Mexico Jesús Ociel Baena Saucedo, the first non-binary electoral judge in Latin America & LGBTQ+ activist was found dead inside their home in Aguascalientes alongside their partner this morning. Jesús was issued Mexico’s first non-binary passport earlier this year. 😢😡

I’m feeling pretty disappointed by all the Día de Los Muertos parties at bars and whatnot in Chicago. It is not a party, it’s a spiritual ceremony, a celebration of life by honoring those that have died.


Watching the @bluebeetle a movie full of Mexicans. A must watch #BlueBeetle

Everyone needs to see what I saw in Eagle Pass today. Clothing stuck on razor wire where families got trapped. Chainsaw devices in the middle of buoys. Land seized from US citizens. Operation Lone Star is barbaric — and @GovAbbott is making border communities collateral damage.

Appalled by the ongoing cruel and inhumane tactics employed by @GovAbbott at the Texas border. The situation's reality is unsettling as these buoys' true danger and brutality come to light. We must stop this NOW!

I received this email today via my website and it got me chopping onions in public. 😭 I love my dad, and my mom, who both talk about me with much more vigor than I rightfully deserve. ❤️
