Mashed potatoes. Not a meal but for a while it was for my mom, my sis and me so for me, buttery mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, especially when eaten out of big bowl and shared.

Sea Urchin. Glad I tried it but yeah was like licking the bottom of the sea

I am starting to really dislike that word work. I don't work. I live

I have children - probably won't have more unless someone inspires that in me. Marriage - no . I don't think so. I think I thought about it twice as a matter of what I was supposed to do. Again maybe I'll be inspired or maybe someone will give me health insurance - but monogamy till death do us part- probably not

Nope I wouldn't. Breast cancer runs in my familia and I've list quite a number of mujeres in my family to it. One tia, who is in treatment, told the doctors not to tell her the "timeframe". For me, watching how my aunts dealt with a timeframe, reading their cancer journals, I could sense the desperation, the sense of not accomplishing what you wanted as opposed to living. Cuando es su tiempo es su tiempo and no doctor can tell you that with certainty. If you believe in God then only God knows. If you don't believe in God, then your body knows.

I want to get renter's insurance but to be honest I can barely afford rent!!
-
Right now it really is all mine pero I'd be happy to share...
-
I don't get that shit either. I don't have a big ass by any stretch of the imagination pero the seats are so small, like they are only good for rubbing up against not actually getting somewhere

Madame Bovary. I would call it Senora Rodriguez and she would poison all the asshole male lovers instead of offing herself. She also wouldn't be in debt because she would be running a sex toy shop out of a bodega. :)

That was culture club, I have the record!!

I got very little guidance about menstruation. It was something we didn't talk about. The only exception was my stepmom, who got my stepsister and I books about the topic and that's how I learned, practicing how to put in a tampon and wondering how mujeres had to use a whole belt contraption. But still, I remember I was in Puerto Rico when I got my period and didn't tell anyone, cuz really who wanted to hear about that? I popped in a tampon and went on my way. I was consciously very different with my own daughter. I was always talking about it with her but not in an unnatural way. Since I was/am a single mom she saw me change a tampon, a pad, a menstrual cup and I would give her a play by play narration. I used to giver her and some the young women I tutor lessons on what was happening physically during menstruation. It got to the point that la Mapu couldn't wait to get her period. ja ja

You know, I've only had one online stalker and she was a mujer. All the others I consider trolls and assholes.
I handle the stalkers and potential stalkers by letting other peeps know what's up so that the stalker knows that I have peeps that have my back. That usually calms stuff down.
I haven't had any stalkerish stuff happen in a while though. -
Actually Mamita Mala predates my online presence. It was name given to me by my mentor Richie Perez (RIP). The Justice committee which I helped to run at the time was having a poetry event and Richie decided I needed a better poets name than my real name. First it was Y.A.Ms (Young Activist Mami) pero sounding like a root veggie wasn't appealing especially since I was surrounded by other poets like Mariposa, Bonafide, la Bruja etc. So he came up with Mamita Mala and I loved it. It felt right as a 20 year old single mom who was learning so much about activism, mami'hood, sexuality, love, art, mi comunidad etc. So many years later I still use it, not just online pero when I perform, write etc. It's taken on new meanings for me as I've evolved.

ja ja. I wouldn't call it a fetish. I went to Chile to study and learned so much while I was there about politics in the region, especially the role of the U.S. and about myself. In fact when my official time there was over, I stayed and further explored the country on my own. My time there was transformative in more ways than one ::wink wink::. My first daughter was conceived in Chile and my second daughter's father is also Chilean so I have a responsibility to them to maintain some ties with that part of their history, heritage, and culture.
