Portrait of Devi and her children as Malinalli and the brothers Martín Cortez
In traditional native Mexican culture, the mask is considered an instrument of revelation, not one which conceals. All things are expressions of Ometeot; the Teteo, or gods, are but manifestation of Them. When one dons a mask, one hides nothing, but rather reveals the truth of the Teteo whom the mask represents, and which had always been part of the person wearing the mask. If you wear a mask of Xochiquetzal, for example, the Teteo of Love, you become her, and reveal her presence within you.
Here, I painted a portrait of Devi and her two children as Malinche and the brothers Martín Cortez. Malinche, or Malinalli as she was also known, was a Native American slave woman, who was given to Cortez shortly after he arrived in Mexico. She was instrumental in the conquest, for she spoke Nahuatl, the Mexica (Aztec) language, and quickly learned Spanish, and became his translator. Without her he could not have accomplished the conquest as he did. Consequently, she has come to be seen as a traitor, but in fact, she belonged to a different city state, and did not betray anybody. As the slave of Cortez, she was raped by him, and she gave birth to a son, the first mestizo person born in the new world, half Spanish and half Native, whose name is recorded. Cortez named his son Martín Cortez. Later, after the conquest, he became rich and powerful and married a Spanish noblewoman, who also had a son, whom he likewise named Martín Cortez. Thus, two children were born in the new world, both named Martín Cortez, one white and one mestizo, who led very different lives because of the privilege accorded them as the son of a conquered slave, or the son of a Spanish noblewoman. Devi and her children become modern manifestations of this ancient family drama, the first mestizaje, the birth of modern Mexico, which continues to play out today. By donning the mask of Malinche, a modern woman of color becomes the embodiment of Malinche, and her children the embodiment of the new social order, which privileges the European and the white at the expense of the Native American and color. As the mother of a new world, she becomes the World Tree which supports and creates the world we inhabit. Her boots are the earth, painted with Cipactli, the Earth Monster, and her crown is of flowers, the flowers which grow on the World Tree, topped with a quetzal bird, who sits in its branches. She wears the necklace of Quetzalcoatl, who is the Lord of Creation, and the skirt of Chalchiuhtlicue, the Goddess of Water, who is also our mother. Her mouth is painted with speech scrolls, for it is through speech that she helped Cortez conquer Mexico. At their feet is a book, with brushes and ink, upon which the story of the new Mexico and the new world will be written. Retrato de Devi y sus hijos como Malinalli y los hermanos Martín Cortez.
En la cultura tradicional mexicana nativa, la máscara se considera un instrumento de revelación, no uno que oculta. Todas las cosas son expresiones de Ometeot; El Teteo, o dioses, no son más que la manifestación de Ellos. Cuando uno se pone una máscara, no oculta nada, sino que revela la verdad del Teteo a quien representa la máscara, y que siempre ha sido parte de la persona que lleva la máscara. Si usas una máscara de Xochiquetzal, por ejemplo, el Teteo del amor, te conviertes en ella y revelas su presencia dentro de ti.
Aquí, pinté un retrato de Devi y sus dos hijos como Malinche y los hermanos Martín Cortez. Malinche, o Malinalli como también se la conocía, era una esclava nativa americana, que fue entregada a Cortez poco después de que él llegara a México. Ella fue instrumental en la conquista, porque hablaba náhuatl, el idioma mexica (azteca), aprendió español rápidamente y se convirtió en su traductora. Sin ella no podría haber logrado la conquista como él lo hizo. En consecuencia, ha llegado a ser vista como una traidora, pero de hecho, pertenecía a un estado de ciudad diferente y no traicionó a nadie. Como esclava de Cortés, fue violada por él, y dio a luz a un hijo, el primer mestizo nacido en el nuevo mundo, mitad español y mitad nativo, cuyo nombre está registrado. Cortez llamó a su hijo Martín Cortez. Más tarde, después de la conquista, se hizo rico y poderoso y se casó con una noble española, que también tenía un hijo, a quien también llamó Martín Cortez. Así, nacieron dos niños en el nuevo mundo, ambos llamados Martín Cortez, uno blanco y otro mestizo, quienes llevaron vidas muy diferentes debido al privilegio que se les otorgó como hijo de un esclavo conquistado, o hijo de una noble española. Devi y sus hijos se convierten en manifestaciones modernas de este antiguo drama familiar, el primer mestizaje, el nacimiento del México moderno, que continúa hoy en día. Al ponerse la máscara de Malinche, una mujer moderna de color se convierte en la encarnación de Malinche, y sus hijos en la encarnación del nuevo orden social, que privilegia al europeo y al blanco a expensas del nativo americano y del color.
Como madre de un mundo nuevo, se convierte en el Árbol del Mundo que sostiene y crea el mundo que habitamos. Sus botas son la tierra, pintadas con Cipactli, el Monstruo de la Tierra, y su corona es de flores, las flores que crecen en el Árbol del Mundo, coronadas por un pájaro quetzal, que se sienta en sus ramas. Ella lleva el collar de Quetzalcóatl, que es el Señor de la Creación, y la falda de Chalchiuhtlicue, la diosa del agua, que también es nuestra madre. Su boca está pintada con pergaminos, porque fue a través del habla que ayudó a Cortés a conquistar México. A sus pies hay un libro, con pinceles y tinta, sobre el cual se escribirá la historia del nuevo México y el nuevo mundo. Retrato de Devi y sus hijos como Malinalli y los hermanos Martín Cortez.

This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion
Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.
That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people don’t understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.

Dr. Parker is one of the few things I like about Alabama and we are so fortunate to have him here.
Wow god looks just like how I imagined
“I was going to Arizona State when my dad passed away. I didn’t handle it well. Sort of fell apart. I had just paid $9,000 for the fucking semester. I opened my laptop, dropped the semester, opened up a new tab, bought a one-way ticket to New York, and threw myself a going-away party. Once I got here, I started working in retail. But on the side I was writing about Fashion Week for a blog called Style Cartel, shout out to Charlotte, Muslim like me. And every time I went to these events, I’d introduce myself as a stylist. I kept saying: ‘I style athletes and celebrities.’ I didn’t give a fuck. Then suddenly I started getting clients for real: actors, NFL players, you name it. Now I’m up to 42 clients. Down to two days a week in retail. Pure hustle. No Miami mommy money. Well I’m not going to lie. I did have a sugar daddy first year, billionaire, you’ve heard of him. But never fucked him. Anyway, the one thing I’ve always wanted to do is go back to school. Cause I promised my dad. Then one night I was watching Billions and there’s this psychologist who always keeps the men in check. So I peeped the psychology degree at Hunter College, walked into the admissions office, and told the lady: ‘My transcripts are trash. My dad died of cancer. But I’m intelligent. I need a second chance.’ The deadline had already passed, but she ended up doing me a solid. She performed some sort of alchemy on my transcripts and came out with a 2.6 GPA. That was enough to get me in the door. I just finished up my second semester. Now I’ve got a 3.5 GPA. Plus the teachers love me cause I’m entertaining in class.”
5 years ago i was a fucking mess & now i’m a fucking mess but at peace with it and with cooler fashion sense
