My 5-year-old brought home a family project: “disguise a turkey” as anything he wanted. His top three choices? A Minecraft Creeper, Bad Bunny at the SuperBowl, or the #MoWillems Pigeon.
Can you guess which one won? 😄

Man, this #raycast to songlink workflow runs soooo smooth. It makes me want to share more music than before 😄

This is the most metal conga solo I’ve experienced in a show. Digan lo que digan, #BadBunny se ha integrado a la cultura puertorriqueña a su música como ningún otro. No tan solo eso, también la hizo sumamente accesible para el mundo entero.
So glad to have been part of the experience with old time friends. Definitely, one of the best shows I’ve seen ever. Puerto Rico was on display and everybody loved it.

Look at this jewel: a picture of me, super excited to start 10th grade in a new school. “Ready to cook,” as kids these days would say.

I’ve been recognizing computers for a while now 😄

I need to get out to DC for a Monday music show more often so that I can get to sleep at 10PM the next day and get a “virtual high five” from #gentlerstreak

Here’s a snippet from their latest album. I’ve been singing that song nonstop with my 7yo, so I had to bring a chunk of the live rendition back home. Zoe will love it.

This is such a fun cooperative #boardgame to play with the little ones! It feels like a mix of “Where's Waldo?” and “Carmen Sandiego.” You explore a big, highly detailed map together and use clues to track down some quirky "crimes" (more like silly mischief). I had a blast with the kiddos! We will definitely come back to it soon.

10th consecutive day of #CPAP: it has been an interesting journey that is finally paying some dividends. After several adjustments and accessories I can say that it’s worth it. I’m getting good AHI scores and woke up feeling 100% today.

As a parent of a 6 year old kid, would you allow them to play Fortnite? Feel free to add nuance in replies. #parenting #askfedi #videogames

In my lifetime, Puertoricans were able to, non-violently, get the US Navy out of our lands: https://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/puerto-ricans-force-united-states-navy-out-vieques-island-1999-2003
Puertoricans were also capable of, non-violently, dethroning the last crony we had as governor: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/embattled-puerto-rico-gov-ricardo-rossell-resigns-amid-public-outcry-n1033241
Voting out hate and racists in this presidential election cycle would be nothing.

11 years ago, as I prepared to leave Puerto Rico for the mainland United States, my father shared words that have echoed through time: "Your vote will be more impactful there than here." Never have those words rung more true than during this election cycle. To my fellow boricuas in the diaspora: we carry our culture, our heritage, and our power wherever we go. We must vote for the candidates who recognize, respect, and honor our identity and the resilience of our global community.
