an ode to the oscars, from a mexican viewer
here’s what’s up:
there are many points i want to cover about last night, but to begin with, the fact that there was a mayor latino presence during the ceremony of the oscars warmed my heart to oblivion. oscar isaac, gael garcía bernal, guillermo del toro, lin manuel miranda, salma hayek, lupita nyong’o, rita moreno, natalia lafourcade, eugenio derbez, eiza gonzález, all of them who have worked their asses off to get where they are right now and i could not be prouder of seeing them in an event of which donald trump was banning them about a year prior.
it matters. as a mexican myself, seeing all these people at such important events makes me feel so happy that we’re being included, specially during times of darkness, hatred and separation. during the “remember me” performance my dad got all excited and exlaimed: “its as if they were back in mexico!”. to see our culture influence so heavily on something like this, las flores de cempasúchil bursting from the ceiling, natalia’s dress, gael garcía’s green, white, and red ribbon, the dancing and the scenario, the music… i saw my country correctly represented at the oscars, and back home, this is one of the greatest achievements we’ve been able to accomplish.
the cries of “viva latinoamérica” and “viva méxico”, the profound thanks of the coco creators to méxico is a small but sure step towards the inclusion we need, specially during the times in which immigrants are seen as criminals, rapists, drug dealers… to be awarded for the art we create in such highly manner is, literally, everything to us. it means a lot.
also, the gael garcía and oscar isaac hug, i am s o f t ™

Poema de amor
Roque Dalton
Los que ampliaron el Canal de Panamá
(y fueron clasificados como “silver roll” y no como “gold roll”),
los que repararon la flota del Pacífico
en las bases de California,
los que se pudrieron en la cárceles de Guatemala,
México, Honduras, Nicaragua,
por ladrones, por contrabandistas, por estafadores,
por hambrientos,
los siempre sospechosos de todo
(“me permito remitirle al interfecto
por esquinero sospechoso
y con el agravante de ser salvadoreño”),
las que llenaron los bares y los burdeles
de todos los puertos y las capitales de la zona
(“La gruta azul”, “El Calzoncito”, “Happyland”),
los sembradores de maíz en plena selva extranjera,
los reyes de la página roja,
los que nunca sabe nadie de dónde son,
los mejores artesanos del mundo,
los que fueron cosidos a balazos al cruzar la frontera,
los que murieron de paludismo
o de las picadas del escorpión o de la barba amarilla
en el infierno de las bananeras,
los que lloraran borrachos por el himno nacional
bajo el ciclón del Pacífico o la nieve del norte,
los arrimados, los mendigos, los marihuaneros,
los guanacos hijos de la gran puta,
los que apenitas pudieron regresar,
los que tuvieron un poco más de suerte,
los eternos indocumentados,
los hacelotodo, los vendelotodo, los comelotodo,
los primeros en sacar el cuchillo,
los tristes más tristes del mundo,
mis compatriotas,
mis hermanos.
Man I've been meeting so many other Ecuadorians in the wild this past year-and-a-half, it's astonishing
Gracias
Llegar y que personas que amas te reciban, tal vez mis progenitores no estuvieron, pero si otras personas que me aman, soy realmente afortunada. 😍❤🎁
Y al llegar a casa hasta mi vecino cambió su batería al costado de mi habitación para recibirme (es broma, bueno sí se oye su batería más cerca, pero no por mí jaja)
Wow I cant believe I have to wait 4 years to go back to America to enjoy a safe vacation. Joking aside Literally fuck all of this, I fell asleep knowing that my "country" won't let us down, I had hopes that it cared for the minorities but it's great to know that America doesn't care. Home of the free and brave my fucking culo
