Maria Mercedes Coroy for Look Magazine Guatemala
I watched the trailer of Ixcanul, of Jayro Bustamente, a director from Guatemala. I really enjoy those kind of films… Then I noticed the lead character, the young actress Maria Mercedes Coroy, went searching more about her. So inspiring and beautiful, somehow she remembered me of Frida Kahlo, but certainly she have an unique personality.

Magic when you’re a kid: Pick up a seashell and you can hear the ocean inside. The groundhog sees its shadow and prophesies six more weeks of winter. Forest fairies arrive in September and paint the leaves with brushes made of fire.
Magic when you’re an adult: Capitalists will do what’s best for humanity if we give them the grand majority of the economic and political power and let them follow base self-interest. Wealth is directly proportional to the amount of hard work and labor. We are at the end of history and human organization will never advance beyond a system where sixty people control more resources than half the world.
Magic when you’re an adult: science and the education I have been given is not the be-all and end-all. so much has been hidden. I was born colonized, without roots. but there’s knowledge we can remember, sacredness in life. A medicine controlled by the market and big pharmaceuticals doesn’t want to cure but make sickness chronic, but there is a way to heal, to grow roots again. Peasant movements and solidarity have been destroyed time and again but resistance is listening to the Earth and it cannot die, it’s our natural impulse.

Can a zebra change its stripes?
While sketching zebras in Sudan, Abel Chapman (1851–1929) noted that his perception of stripe patterns changed. Depending on distance and the angle of light, a zebra’s stripes could even seem to disappear. This animated GIF is rendered from Chapman’s drawing for his book Savage Sudan (London, 1921).
See today’s Smithsonian Snapshot for more, or visit the exhibition Color in a New Light, an exploration of the theme of color through the vast collections of the Smithsonian Libraries, including rare books and Trade Literature materials.

I hate each and every white person that’s shifted uncomfortably when they catch sight of me.
I hate the old white lady that called me scary last week in the airport during security checks.
I hate the white professor that stopped lecture to put her hand in my afro and exclaim how soft it was, prompting my peers to want a turn touching me.
I hate the Southern white men that stuck their head out of their window to call my mother “n****r”.
I hate my ex-friend who used me as her token colored friend when she was called out for her anti-Asian racism.
I hate the Xenophobic, racist white folks at my Dad’s job for abusing their power to withhold his money and shut him out.
I hate the drunk white girls who have touched and pulled my hair without permission.
I hate each and every white person that has asked me to teach them to dougie/twerk.
I hate every white person that has asked if I wanna be a rapper or play a sport.
I hate the old white woman that called me a “n****r prostitute” while I was minding my business and shuffling along to class.
I hate my Dad’s ex-boss for looking at my body in a sexual manner when I was 13 years old bc black girls don’t get childhoods. I hate him for doing it in front of my father.
I hate the white people that hate the Blackout bc they think it’s racist to celebrate yourself and they can’t fathom that not everything is for/about them.
I hate the white men that ruined my time abroad in Italy with verbal and sexual assault because I was a black girl.
I hate all the white girls that tried to write off the aforementioned assault as ‘no big deal’ because ‘at least I was getting attention’.
I could literally go on but the point I’m trying to make is that I hate white supremacy and if you actively uphold it in any way, shape, or form, then–well, you get the hint I’m sure.
No one ask me this surface level question ever again please.

Hey, look! It’s a starfish. A starfish that doesn’t look like a fish OR a star.
The Cushion Star (Culcita) is a peculiar, Indo-Pacific starfish.
The very biggest ones might reach as much as a foot across and they look like they might reach almost as tall!
They’re so ridiculously bloated you can’t actually discern their arms. They just look like a big blob hanging out on the corals and sponges they eat.
The cool thing is they come in a vast array of colours, from reds and yellows to blues and greys, so there’s a Cushion Star for every sofa!
