It reminded me of a song about colonization and crimes against Natives that I heard a while ago. The song is called "Quechua 101 Land Back Please" by Bobby Sanchez. It is mostly sung in the Quechua language but halfway through, Sanchez begins to rap in English. ]]> 2023-04-15 01:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555078275 nayeli23tapia https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555082076 He says "Please don't talk to me about decolonization when you still speakin' in the colonizer's language. See you genocide us, then you colonize us. See you sterilize us, and now you fetishize us." Both Deborah Miranda and Bobby Sanchez try to make people realize how brutal colonization truly was.  ]]> 2023-04-15 01:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555082076 nayeli23tapia https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555083713 Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is one of the few books that has kept be on edge while reading, intrigued to find out what would happen next. Moreno-Gracia perfectly combined horror with historical fiction and it made for an amazing story. The fungus representing evil and colonization through generations was very interesting to me. ]]> 2023-04-15 01:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555083713 nayeli23tapia https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555085421 While reading, all i could think of every time the author mentioned mushrooms or fungi was these mushroom birria tacos i love eating. These mushrooms are not evil, instead they are oyster mushrooms which resemble the texture of chicken. This is a fitting recipe because birria is also a very traditional and common Mexican dish. The recipe is linked but i would like to rename them "The Bloom Tacos" for the sake of this story. https://veganwithcurves.com/vegan-birria-tacos/]]> 2023-04-15 01:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555085421 nayeli23tapia https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555087275 The underground railroad was an amazing book that kept me interested the entire way through. The beginning was extremely sad and painful but I was intrigued by the authors choice to use an actual railroad as the path to freedom and to allow its travelers to travel through time and experience different eras of racism in America. ]]> 2023-04-15 01:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555087275 nayeli23tapia https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555092200 This reading reminded me of a Movie I watched a while ago called "Alice" Starring Keke Palmer as Alice who is a Slave at a plantation who wishes to escape. When she finally does so, She runs until she reaches a road where a man driving a truck almost runs her over. The man then helps her understand that it is the 1970's and all African Americans are free by law. ]]> 2023-04-15 01:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555092200 nayeli23tapia https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555093639 This book isn't one I would usually read on my own time but I think it was an excellent read regardless. It made me realize how interesting books outside of my comfort zone can be. While reading, it had sort of a movie feel which I loved. ]]> 2023-04-15 01:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555093639 nayeli23tapia https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555095907 This made up cocktail is called "Cthulhu Goo", it is made with vodka, rum, midori, and lemon juice. It looks bright green which is just how I imagined the goo mentioned in this book. ]]> 2023-04-15 01:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nayeli23tapia/v6n9v1o4idk6a4dy/wish/2555095907
