Hello! Recently, I've been engaging with many documentaries and books that involve Black history and culture, and I feel that it's imperative that I use this platform that I have to share the things I've watched or read that have changed my worldview. I would like to also emphasize the fact that it doesn't need to be Black History Month for you to educate yourself and others on or appreciate Black history/culture. Please look up trigger warnings if you do decide to read or watch anything on this list! It's good to educate yourself, and educating yourself on history is usually uncomfortable, but take care of yourself. Self care is an act of resistance! Without further ado, here is my read/watchlist recommendations for Black History Month 2026, with little to no context. (None of this is sponsored by the way). Books to Read 1. "N*groes with Guns" by Robert F. Williams This book will radicalize you so much. 2. "Recitatif" by Toni Morrison Th...
This post will mainly be pictures because 1. my mom and I took many pictures and 2. I have a terrible memory, especially when it comes to trips.
I first need to talk about my aunt's ancient dog, Nacho.
Technically, he isn't ancient, but he is. He's 15 in human years, which means he's 76 in dog years, according to this calculator.
The first thing we did after taking a full day of rest (which consisted of 2 long naps for me) was go to the Tres Museos. We only got to go to 2 of the 3 museums, which kinda sucks, but we still had an amazing time.
I love this top so much I'd wear it to the grocery store.
These 2 pictures are of clothes from the colonial era of Mexico (I think).
I'm 99% sure this is a Catholic relic of sorts, not sure of the specifics because I do not speak Spanish and I was more focused on looking at cool stuff because that was all I could do.
This is a skull that reminded me of Lana Del Rey.
The next day we went to this dinosaur zoo place for my little brother. They had animatronic dinosaurs, birds, and a petting zoo!
A big turtle (or tortoise don't quote me) with 2 little babies.
Me petting a bunny (they had goats there too that kept eating the food when we tried to feed the bunnies).
Me and a brachiosaurus!
A pool of birds.
That same day after shopping and walking so much that I almost passed out due to low blood sugar, we went to this place called Gaby's, and next to it, a heaven-sent pastry shop, Nopal's!!!!
That's my dad holding the platter lol.
This is the donut I got! (The frosting was sour but it was a few days old when I ate it so that might've contributed.)
Apparently, it was supposed to be 3 tiers and have cupcakes but this was way more than enough. It was a vanilla and coconut sponge with strawberry jelly, vanilla buttercream, and a crown made of sugar. It was absolutely delicious.
In case you're thinking "That wasn't a full week! Where's the rest?!" We arrived on Tuesday and used that as a rest day, then we had the 3 days I told you about, then an extra day of shopping, the day before leaving we spent packing and doing everything we needed to prepare for the flight back, and the next Tuesday, we left. So yeah it was a full week. Speaking of the flight back, I have some pictures from that too
A bird. In the Monterrey airport.
Some lovely strawberry frozen yogurt topped with strawberries.
Giant soda in Dallas.
The bird, again.
