Quote
I used to love my dolls when I was a peladita. In my own way. I chopped their hair, drew trees on their bodies. I searched incessantly for their genitals. My Barbies would sit around drinking Cafecito waiting for the one Ken Man to show up and whisk them away, but Ken Man would take so long the girls would inevitably get bored, get hungry, and eat each other’s hair, sometimes their limbs; sometimes they drew tattoos on their bodies; other times the Barbies fucked their golden retrievers. My Barbie’s children consisted of Legos, pencil and a little squirmy hamster by the name of Maurito. No human children allowed for my girls.
Juliana Delgado Lopera, Fiebre Tropical (2019)

Con nueva vacuna y un método científico innovador Brasil enfrenta el dengue

CHILPANCINGO * Abril 1, 2025 ) France24/AFP Brasil enfrenta por segundo año consecutivo una severa epidemia de dengue en todas las regiones de su vasto territorio. Varios expertos creen incluso que 2025 podría ser el peor año jamás registrado en el país tropical. Solo el pasado mes de enero se registraron más de 170.000 casos de la enfermedad y 38 muertes confirmadas. Además, en 2024, Brasil alcanzó el récord de más de 6,6 millones de casos de dengue, con más de 6.000 muertes, también una cifra inédita, según datos del Ministerio de Salud. Desde el año pasado, el Ejecutivo brasileño ofrece gratuitamente la vacuna Qdenga, desarrollada por el laboratorio japonés Takeda, en las clínicas de familia del Servicio Único de Salud. Sin embargo, de momento solo están disponibles para niños y adolescentes de entre 10 y 14 años, el tramo de edad en el que se produce el mayor número de hospitalizaciones, dado que todavía no hay dosis suficientes para toda la población. Para resolver este problema, el Gobierno está desarrollando una vacuna nacional, en colaboración con el Instituto Butantan de São Paulo y la empresa WuXi Biologics. La denominada como Butantan-DV será la primera vacuna contra el dengue de dosis única del mundo. El proyecto arrancó el año pasado, pero será solo a partir de 2026 que 60 millones de dosis estarán disponibles. Otras 40 millones de dosis serán producidas en 2027, sumando un total de más de 100 millones de dosis producidas en tres años. También existe la posibilidad de incrementar esa cantidad según la demanda y la capacidad de producción. El objetivo es atender a la población contemplada por el Programa Nacional de Inmunizaciones entre 2026 y 2027. Esper Kallás, director del Instituto Butantan, médico infectólogo y profesor del Departamento de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Parasitarias y del Centro de Investigaciones Clínicas del Hospital das Clínicas, explica que Butantan-DV es una vacuna tetravalente, diseñada para proteger contra los cuatro serotipos del virus del dengue. En su opinión, esta característica es fundamental para prevenir reinfecciones más graves, que pueden ocurrir cuando una persona infectada con uno de los serotipos del virus contrae otro tipo. “No se puede crear una vacuna que proteja sólo contra uno o dos tipos de virus. Es necesario que cubra los cuatro serotipos para garantizar una protección completa”, destaca. A la espera de que la vacuna brasileña llegue a los centros públicos de salud, Brasil intenta combatir la enfermedad con otros sistemas, principalmente aquellos que permiten la eliminación de los brotes del mosquito Aedes aegypti, responsable del contagio. En este contexto, cobra mayor relevancia el método Wolbachia, implantado en Brasil hace una década para reducir la incidencia del dengue y de otros arbovirus. ¿Cómo funciona el método Wolbachia? La Wolbachia es una bacteria presente en el 60% de los insectos, incluidos algunos mosquitos. Sin embargo, no se encuentra de forma natural en el Aedes aegypti, el vector principal del dengue en humanos. Cuando la bacteria está presente en este mosquito, impide que los virus del dengue, Zika, chikunguña y la fiebre amarilla se desarrollen en su cuerpo, contribuyendo a la reducción de enfermedades. Hace unos 17 años, en Australia, el conocido investigador Scott O'Neill, fundador del Programa Mundial de Mosquitos, decidió extraer la Wolbachia de las moscas de la fruta y colocarla en huevos de Aedes aegypti. “En aquel momento, yo estaba haciendo un post-doctorado con el grupo de Scott O'Neill e hicimos un descubrimiento muy inusual: cuando Wolbachia está en el mosquito Aedes aegypti, bloquea el virus del dengue”, cuenta a France 24 el científico Luciano Moreira, líder do método Wolbachia no Brasil. Tras este hallazgo, el Programa Mundial de Mosquitos, que en su momento se llamó ‘Eliminar el Dengue’, salió de Australia y fue implantado en Vietnam, Indonesia y en otros países del Pacífico. Finalizado el postdoctorado, Moreira regresó a Brasil y resolvió llevar el programa a su centro de investigación, la Fundación Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), que abrazó esta iniciativa. “Esto aconteció en 2012 y en 2014 empezamos a realizar las primeras pruebas de campo, en las ciudades de Río de Janeiro y Niterói, que se ha convertido en un laboratorio a cielo abierto, con buenos resultados, según el Departamento de Salud de esa ciudad”, destaca Moreira. Actualmente, Niterói tiene unos niveles de contagio muy por debajo de la media nacional y desde 2023 es la primera ciudad brasileña en tener el 100% de su territorio cubierto por este método. Los resultados saltan a la vista. En 2021, cuando se cubrió el 75% de la ciudad, se registró una reducción del 69,4% en los casos de dengue, del 56,3% en los casos de chikunguña y del 37% en los casos de Zika. En 2023, esta ciudad de casi 482.000 habitantes tuvo tan sólo 55 casos de dengue en la ciudad, según datos de la Dirección Municipal de Salud. “En el pasado, Niterói sufría mucho por las epidemias. En un artículo publicado en 2021, revelamos resultados muy prometedores, con un 70% menos de casos de dengue en las áreas que recibieron el programa. Hoy estamos ultimando un nuevo artículo científico: después de algunos años de este programa en Niterói, pudimos detectar una reducción de más del 90%. En breve, este artículo estará disponible para toda la población científica”, revela Moreira. Ahora, el Ministerio de Salud de Brasil reconoce la importancia de este método, que está siendo ampliado a un total de 11 municipios, entre ellos Campo Grande, en Mato Grosso do Sul; Belo Horizonte, en Minas Gerais; Petrolina, en Pernambuco; y más recientemente, en ciudades del sur de Brasil, que antiguamente no tenían casos de dengue, ni tampoco presencia del mosquito Aedes aegypti. La incidencia del cambio climático está extendiendo el rayo de acción de este insecto a otras regiones de Brasil. En la actualidad, existe una fábrica de wolbitos, como se llaman estos mosquitos, que no están modificados genéticamente. Allí son producidos alrededor de 10 millones de huevos por semana. “Es importante señalar que, a día de hoy, no necesitamos seguir introduciendo la bacteria Wolbachia en los huevos. Esto ya se hizo en Australia hace 17 años. Nosotros sólo multiplicamos estos mosquitos a gran escala. Y la hembra del mosquito Aedes aegypti transmite la Wolbachia a toda su descendencia”, explica Moreira. Una nueva fábrica para la lucha contra el dengue Mientras tanto, Wolbito do Brasil, la empresa creada por la alianza entre el Instituto de Biología Molecular de Paraná, vinculado a Fiocruz, y el Programa Mundial Mosquito Brasil han empezado la construcción de la mayor fábrica del mundo de mosquitos Aedes aegypti con Wolbachia. Con sede en la ciudad de Curitiba, la biofábrica Wolbito do Brasil ocupará un área de 3.000 metros cuadrados en el Parque Tecnológico de la Salud y tendrá una capacidad de producir 100 millones de huevos. La previsión es que en 10 años de actividad de esta fábrica, aproximadamente 140 millones de brasileños podrán beneficiarse de la implementación de este método en varios municipios brasileños. Los huevos de wolbitos son transportados por el aire, en pequeñas cajas donde caben miles de ejemplares. En la localidad de destino, si es necesario, los huevos son colocados en el agua, en un laboratorio proporcionado por el propio municipio. “Con este sistema, podemos criarlos hasta adultos y liberarlos en cada zona”, indica Moreira. Este investigador revela que el método Wolbachia ya ha sido implementado en Colombia y en algunos países de Centroamérica, como El Salvador y Honduras. Debido a los efectos del cambio climático, el dengue también está llegando a Europa. En 2024 el número de casos en Francia, España e Italia se duplicó con respecto al año anterior. Pero hay una importante diferencia: en Europa el mosquito vector es el Aedes albopictus, popularmente conocido como mosquito tigre. Ahora la Universidad de Valencia está desarrollando un proyecto con la Wolbachia para evitar que los mosquitos tigre asiáticos se conviertan en un problema de salud pública en la península ibérica. ) acapulcopress.com Read the full article

Timothy Winegard, profesor de Historia en la Universidad Colorado Mesa América Latina vive la peor epidemia de dengue de las últimas décadas. Según este historiador canadiense, se trata de un episodio más de la ancestral guerra contra nuestros enemigos más mortíferos: los mosquitos, pequeñas criaturas que han dirigido el curso de la historia humana con las enfermedades que transmiten Los mosquitos son el depredador más letal de la humanidad, según el historiador Timothy Winegard. / UC San Diego/T. Winegard Por Federico Kukso Su inconfundible figura destaca entre los jeroglíficos del muro de piedra del Templo de Ramsés III en Luxor, Egipto. También resalta en coloridas cerámicas mayas, rollos japoneses, grabados holandeses, folletos políticos chinos, publicidades y películas informativas estadounidenses y esculturas veneradas como dioses en la India. El mosquito ha acompañado la historia humana, reconfigurándola una y otra vez, mucho más que cualquier otro animal en el planeta. Según las estadísticas, “ha provocado la muerte de cerca de la mitad de todos los seres humanos que han vivido”, cuenta el canadiense Timothy C. Winegard, profesor de Historia en la Universidad Colorado Mesa (EE UU), en su libro El mosquito: La historia de la lucha de la humanidad contra su depredador más letal. A través de las enfermedades que transmite, este pequeño insecto volador ha decidido el resultado de innumerables guerras, ha propiciado el ascenso y caída de antiguos imperios, ha paralizado y arrasado economías. Y pese a todos los avances científicos, aun siembra preocupación, provoca sufrimiento Es precisamente lo que sucede en la actualidad en América Latina, región que está experimentando la peor epidemia de dengue en las últimas décadas. Según la Organización Panamericana de la Salud, en las 12 primeras semanas de 2024, se reportaron 3.578.414 casos -un aumento del 254% en comparación con el mismo período en 2023- y 1039 muertes. Algunos gobiernos combaten con decisión esta enfermedad tropical transmitida por el mosquito Aedes aegypti. México, por ejemplo, apuesta por el desarrollo de fármacos antivirales, y Brasil se convirtió en el primer país del mundo en vacunar a la población para prevenir esta infección que provoca fiebre, dolores musculares y en ciertos casos hemorragias y muerte. “El mosquito es nuestro máximo depredador”, subraya el historiador canadiense, “y a medida que aumentan las temperaturas, expande su alcance y se esparce por el planeta, transportando enfermedades que alguna vez estuvieron confinadas a los trópicos”. Los mosquitos son irritantes y en algunos casos letales. Están en el planeta desde mucho antes que apareciéramos los seres humanos, ¿verdad? Así es. La evidencia sugiere que los mosquitos, tal como los conocemos, surgieron hace 190 millones de años. Tuvieron como presas a los dinosaurios. En la actualidad, hay 3700 especies en el planeta. Y muy pocas, alrededor de cien, transmiten patógenos. Los mosquitos que pican son siempre las hembras. Están biológicamente programadas para ello: necesitan nuestra sangre para reproducirse, para hacer que sus larvas crezcan y maduren. Solo intentan ser buenas madres. Los mosquitos surgieron hace 190 millones de años. / Dany Azar En su libro, afirma que estos pequeños zumbadores que no pesan más que 2,5 miligramos han sido el azote de la humanidad a lo largo de nuestra existencia. Y, sin embargo, pocos historiadores han advertido su protagonismo en la historia humana. ¿Por qué? Mucho tiene que ver con nuestra arrogancia como especie. Nos gusta pensar que el rumbo de la historia es decidido por grandes hombres y mujeres. Alabamos a grandes conquistadores y héroes nacionales, cuando en realidad gran parte del tiempo hay factores externos que inciden en los acontecimientos históricos y que los seres humanos no podemos controlar. Por ejemplo, el cambio climático tiene un rol importante si uno ve la historia en retrospectiva Me sorprendió descubrir el poder q...

Un virus nunca visto infecta a un hombre tras adentrarse en la selva de Perú
El suceso ocurrió en 2019. Inicialmente se pensó que el hombre tendría alguna enfermedad tropical como el dengue, pero se vio que era un nuevo virus del que ahora hay mucho por estudiar. En junio de 2019, un hombre de 20 años acudió a un hospital de la ciudad de Chanchamayo, en Perú, aquejado de síntomas como fiebre, malestar general, escalofríos, dolores musculares sistémicos, somnolencia,…

Fiebre Tropical

Debido a todo ello. McTaggart decidió dar un rodeo de cientos de millas y dirigirse a Rarotonga, en las islas Cook. Allí, las tensiones entre los tripulantes alcanzaron el clímax. Mientras las tormentas barrían la zona, todos cayeron enfermos de fiebres tropicales, y Haddleton se puso tan mal que no pudo continuar el viaje. Al llamar por radioteléfono a Nueva Zelanda, Ingram descubrió que Metcalfe había enviado a la prensa un reportaje en el que afirmaba que el viaje del Vega no era sino una misión para distraer a los franceses mientras otro buque se dirigía desde Perú a la zona de pruebas. Cuando Metcalfe anunció que se marchaba a ese país americano, el resto de los navegantes no pudieron por menos de sentirse aliviados.
Tras aclarar las cosas en la prensa de Nueva Zelanda, McTaggart. Ingram y Davidson emprendieron la última etapa del viaje, una travesía de 1.500 millas (2.400 km) por mares solitarios y
peligrosos.
En contra de todas las probabilidades, a las 10.45 p.m. El 1 de junio, el Vega entró en la zona prohibida y tomó su posición a 20 millas (32 km) del punto de la prueba, exactamente en la trayectoria de la lluvia radiactiva.
A lo largo del viaje emitieron por radio posiciones falsas para apartar a los franceses de su rastro pero, sin que ellos lo supieran, el Vega estuvo en todo momento vigilado por poderosas estaciones de seguimiento de Tahití y Nueva Caledonia. Al día siguiente, un avión les sobrevoló y un barco de guerra estuvo navegando muy cerca de ellos; era como un edificio flotante, un verdadero mamut en comparación con el diminuto Vega, y su presencia intimidaba.
Los días se transformaron en semanas de tensión, durante las cuales los tres hombres lucharon denodadamente por mantener la posición del Vega. Aviones y helicópteros volaban amenazadores sobre sus cabezas.
Fuerza de choque
Francia inició su programa de desarrollo de armas nucleares llamado force de frappe, fuerza de choque,en la década de 1950, con la creación de la Comisión de Energía Atómica (CEA). Entre 1960 y 1966 realizaron 17 pruebas nucleares en el sector argelino del Sahara, pero, tras la independencia de Argelia, trasladaron el escenario de pruebas al Pacífico Sur.
La primera prueba nuclear en la Polinesia francesa tuvo lugar el 2 de julio de 1966, y en los siguientes ocho años se realizaron 40 más, todas en la atmósfera.
Desde el principio, estas pruebas fueron muy controvertidas. Francia aseguró que «ni una sola partícula de lluvia radiactiva alcanzaría a más de una isla habitada». El premio Nobel Dr. Al- bert Schweitzer no quedó convencido. En una carta dirigida al presidente de la Asamblea de los Territorios Polinesios, escribió: «Quienes afirman que estas pruebas son inocuas, mienten».
En septiembre de 1966, el presidente De Gaulle visitó Mururoa a bordo del crucero De Grasse para observar una prueba atmosférica. Como llevaba una agenda de trabajo muy apretada y andaba ya algo retrasado, or- denó realizar la prueba, pese a que vientos desfavorables ame- nazaban con dirigir la lluviara- diactiva hacia las islas habitadas.
La explosión de esta bomba de 120 kilotones provocó una contaminación radiactiva que llegó por lo menos hasta Samoa occi- dental, a 3.000 km (1.900 millas) de distancia. Hasta la fecha, las autoridades francesas no han publicado detalles sobre la cantidad de radiación a que se vieron expuestos los polinesios a consecuencia de las pruebas. De hecho. Desde 1966, no se difunden estadísticas sobre salud pública.
Ya en 1967,la Asamblea Territorial de Tahití aprobó una resolución por la que se pedía al gobierno francés que investigara la naturaleza exacta de la lluvia radiactiva junto con expertos de Japón, Nueva Zelanda y Estados Unidos. Jamás se ha realizado tal investigación.
Al año siguiente se registraron en la región los primeros casos de leucemia, alteraciones de la pigmentación de la piel y un reuma- tismo doloroso llamado la contamina. En Fiji se multiplicó por cinco la radiactividad del agua de lluvia, y el Laboratorio Nacional de la Radiación De Nueva Zelanda encontró yodo 131 radiactivo en muestras de leche de vaca.

a sapphic lit primer 🌸
also known as, an opportunity to insist you read my favourites
if you’ve ever found yourself wanting to read more sapphic books, but not quite sure where to start, let this be the post for you! if you’re looking for even more sapphic books, i hope you find something in here too.
there are a few books on here i’ve not read, that i wanted to include to raise awareness of them, more than anything. those are marked by *. as such, you will probably also see a fair few more well known books and authors missed off (but i promise i know about them!).
this is not meant to be at all exhaustive! it’s a collection of sapphic books that i’ve read and would rec, meaning there are still tons more out there. & you can find some of those more at @sapphicreadsdb, readsrainbow (which i co-run with @tenderpotter), sapphiclitbot on twitter & my list of every sapphic book i’ve read.
as ever, this was meant to be a relatively short post. haha.
(i promise i did put links on this post, but for some reason those aren’t working on the blog page. dashboard version seems fine, i think.)

P FKN R Chapter 1 Snippet
This story is a long way off, because I plan to finish it and the Coronita Heights sequel before posting both. But, please have a snippet from the end of the first chapter to tide you.
Maura waved when she stepped out of her Uber just outside of Fiebre - a small, vibrant club at the border of West Roxbury and Jamaica Plain - because, quite fortuitously, Jane had also just arrived. “Jane!” she also shouted into the muggy nighttime air, just in case her previous greeting wasn’t enough.
Jane bent low and said something to her driver just before he pulled away, and then she tapped the roof of the car. She perked when she heard her name. She pulled her hair out of her leather jacket, keeping it on her sweating arms only because she had firsthand experience with Fiebre’s rather vivacious clientele. Spilled drinks on the dancefloor and at the bar were all too common. Still, these were some of the best times she had as a member of DCU, and the thought of doing it one more time, with Maura, put a smile on her face. “Hey, you,” she said, tone as husky as she could make it.
Maura’s pupils expanded in the predictable way any time Jane spoke like that. She looked down at her sleeveless, very low cut black blouse before taking Jane in again. “Forgive me, but I thought I had club attire down. You-”
Jane held out her arm so Maura could take it, which she did. “You do,” she said. “But it gets kinda rowdy in there, and people slosh things.”
To Maura, the jacket, the dark jeans, and the block-heeled boots, similar to the ones Jane wore at work, made sense now. “You don’t like sticky.”
Jane smirked playfully. “There’s a time and a place for sticky. At a bar with a stranger’s Fuzzy Navel all over me is not it. Don’t worry, I’ll run interference for you, too.”
“That is an… unpleasant visual. But thank you, because I don’t want someone’s Fuzzy Navel on me, either.” Maura laughed. She nodded to Jane, indulged in her chivalry, when Jane opened the door.
There was an instant smell of sugar, sweat, and alcohol, as well as an instant pulsing of tropical drums and Rauw Alejandro’s TrapCake: decadent, sexual, and writhing from the speakers to their ears. Maura stiffened at the way it prepared her body for bad things, a way she had not yet encountered, given her relative inexperience in working class nightclubs. She held fast to Jane’s arm when Jane scanned the dark room for her brother.
Maura swallowed despite the difficulty, let herself be led by the hand while Jane used sight for Frankie and touch alone for her. She bumped, was bumped, as they slithered through warm bodies, heating up her own. She wondered about Jane’s skin, the feel of it, the temperature of it, when she bumped against a broad back.
Jane had stopped, infiltrating Maura’s space with the scent of leather and lavender when they collided, and then, despite a sudden, feral desire to stay encapsulated in the moment, Maura heard Frankie.
“Janie!” He yelled with his arms out at the sparsely populated bar, close to the dance floor. “You made it! You too, Maura!”
“Hi Frankie,” Maura responded politely when she saw that he was already a little buzzed. She took her spot next to Jane when Jane reached forward and hugged him.
“Frost had to go, guess his mom had a car thing. But, I got your beer comin’,” Frankie said when they pulled apart. “And one for you, Maura. I don’t know if they got wine.” He didn’t look at her when he said it, just at his sister, for whom he had the toothiest of grins.
Maura sweated because she knew that look: the one that signified some sort of immensely confusing, disappointing social interaction.
Jane saw it, too. “What’s with you?” she asked over the sumptuous din. The speaker just a few feet away pumped reggaeton into all three of them, and Maura envied how accustomed Jane seemed to its effects.
It was shaking her, just like Frankie’s smile.
And then, he could hold it in no longer. “Guess who’s here, huh?! Guess who I ran into!” He burst out finally.
Jane narrowed her brow and Maura found it comforting in its familiarity. “Who?” asked Jane, and just like that, she surveyed the entire club again, until Frankie threw a thumb behind him. Jane was even more confused. “ADA Anderson? That news?” She pressed when all she could see was the back of the 6’4” assistant district attorney, who was clearly chatting up a leggy woman who was obscured by him.
But then, all of a sudden, he laughed, sidestepped, and she wasn’t.
Wavy, long brown hair, full lips wrapped around a cocktail straw, brown skin that glinted when the lights hit it just right, Fendi everything on her body, and Maura thought her one of the most beautiful people in the bar. If not in Jamaica Plain. Maura thought, in light of that all-white smile and those sharp brown eyes that ADA Anderson should not have been the object of the Rizzoli sibling scrutiny at all, until she realized that he was not.
“Tatiana?” choked Jane, and then Maura understood just how wrong she had been, even more so when Jane took off toward the beautiful woman on the dance floor.
Frankie laughed in victory, and Maura resisted the twin urges to both run with Jane, and run out the door.

1-5!
1. If you’re an author, how many WIPs do you currently have? (Be honest!)
This actually really tripped me up! How are we defining WIPs -- things I’ve started writing in general? things I’ve started posted but not finished? things i haven’t posted at all but have at least a few words down? things i have plotted out in my head but don’t even have words down? etc.
Also my organizational system on evernotes (where I do all my fic writing) is uhhhhh. bad. Like I have several versions of fics, which makes it hard to count how many actual independent works I have.
But glancing through, a basic estimate of fics I’ve actually started AND will potentially actually finish is....maybe 20. Eeesh.
2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)
Fiebre Tropical by Juli Delgado Lopera, though I have to finish The Devil in the White City first (lol I know I’m so late on this, but w/e).
3. Do you prefer canonverse or AUs?
LOL well my preference is for GOOD AUs but those are. Rare. So yes dream fic wise, I prefer AUs, but in some fandoms esp (like, Hellblazer/Constantine stuff comes to mind) I’d rather stick with the canon if you’re not going to do something interesting with the AUs (tho there are actual canon AUs for Hellblazer aka, the baby lesbians, which I wish were written about more often. Or at all.)
4. What fandom’s/ship’s fan fiction do you read the most?
I’ve been kind of off fic ATM tho I have been rereading a lot of The Nice Guys fics bc there’s not many of them but in general I love the grumpy old mans in reluctant love/awks but strangely functional coparenting vibes.
I also sometimes read Lawrusso fic @youandthemountains sends me despite having seen only KK1 and KK2 and none of the show at all. But they’re all so long and I am. Having trouble focusing on long fic ATM, and as always I have very high standards lmfaoooo
5. What’s a crackship you love?
Man IDK what counts as a crackship anymore! in GENERAL i’m not about the crackship life (I also hate calling them crackships lol) bc i do like to go off of actual interactions/chemistry in canon, BUT i’ll always have a soft spot for my john constantine/jake peralta joke ship that i actually even wrote fic for because WHY NOT.

Young Adult titles by Latinx authors, a reading list:
Woven in Moonlight by Isabel Ibañez
A lush tapestry of magic, romance, and revolución, drawing inspiration from Bolivian politics and history.
Ximena is the decoy Condesa, a stand-in for the last remaining Illustrian royal. Her people lost everything when the usurper, Atoc, used an ancient relic to summon ghosts and drive the Illustrians from La Ciudad. Now Ximena’s motivated by her insatiable thirst for revenge, and her rare ability to spin thread from moonlight.
When Atoc demands the real Condesa’s hand in marriage, it’s Ximena’s duty to go in her stead. She relishes the chance, as Illustrian spies have reported that Atoc’s no longer carrying his deadly relic. If Ximena can find it, she can return the true aristócrata to their rightful place.
She hunts for the relic, using her weaving ability to hide messages in tapestries for the resistance. But when a masked vigilante, a warm-hearted princess, and a thoughtful healer challenge Ximena, her mission becomes more complicated. There could be a way to overthrow the usurper without starting another war, but only if Ximena turns her back on revenge—and her Condesa.
This Train Is Being Held by Ismée Amiel Williams
When private school student Isabelle Warren first meets Dominican-American Alex Rosario on the downtown 1 train, she remembers his green eyes and his gentlemanly behavior. He remembers her untroubled happiness, something he feels all rich kids must possess. That, and her long dancer legs. Over the course of multiple subway encounters spanning the next three years, Isabelle learns of Alex’s struggle with his father, who is hell-bent on Alex being a contender for the major leagues, despite Alex’s desire to go to college and become a poet. Alex learns about Isabelle’s unstable mother, a woman with a prejudice against Latino men. But fate—and the 1 train—throw them together when Isabelle needs Alex most. Heartfelt and evocative, this romantic drama will appeal to readers of Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen.
Fiebre Tropical by Juliana Delgado Lopera
Lit by the hormonal neon glow of Miami, this heady, multilingual debut novel follows a Colombian teenager’s coming-of-age and coming out as she plunges headfirst into lust and evangelism.
Uprooted from her comfortable life in Bogotá, Colombia, into an ant-infested Miami townhouse, fifteen-year-old Francisca is miserable and friendless in her strange new city. Her alienation grows when her mother is swept up into an evangelical church, replete with Christian salsa, abstinent young dancers, and baptisms for the dead.
But there, Francisca also meets the magnetic Carmen: opinionated and charismatic, head of the youth group, and the pastor’s daughter. As her mother’s mental health deteriorates and her grandmother descends into alcoholism, Francisca falls more and more intensely in love with Carmen. To get closer to her, Francisca turns to Jesus to be saved, even as their relationship hurtles toward a shattering conclusion.
Tigers, Not Daughters by Samantha Mabry
The Torres sisters dream of escape. Escape from their needy and despotic widowed father, and from their San Antonio neighborhood, full of old San Antonio families and all the traditions and expectations that go along with them. In the summer after her senior year of high school, Ana, the oldest sister, falls to her death from her bedroom window. A year later, her three younger sisters, Jessica, Iridian, and Rosa, are still consumed by grief and haunted by their sister’s memory. Their dream of leaving Southtown now seems out of reach. But then strange things start happening around the house: mysterious laughter, mysterious shadows, mysterious writing on the walls. The sisters begin to wonder if Ana really is haunting them, trying to send them a message—and what exactly she’s trying to say.

Bookish questions! 1, 6, 12, 39, 41
What book did you last finish? When was that?
Penpal by Dathan Auerbach it was really good! I finished it a few weeks ago
Which book was the last one you really, really loved?
Fiebre Tropical. A coming of age story about a young latina queer immigrant in America. Very sweet, very sincere
Political memoirs or comedic memoirs?
Comedic, political ones tend to wash too much clean and retroactively try to fix things. Comedians tend to be candid (most of the time)
Name one of your favorite childhood books
Shel Silverstein books, I still have them. I love The Missing Piece and The Missing Piece Meets the Big O
Do you own a library card? How often do you use it?
I don't but maybe I should look into that!
Thanks for the questions!

City Lights Booksellers’ Pride 2020 Reading List

This June (and always), we look to our queer elders who came before us. Without them and their courage to riot and demand equality, we wouldn't have the Pride we know today. We especially want to name our Black trans siblings, who to this day face disproportionate discrimination and violence in this system. To honor our own San Francisco history / herstory / theirstory, here are 54 titles to commemorate the 54 years since the Compton Cafeteria Riots in the Tenderloin. (pictured: still image from Susan Stryker and Victor Silverman’s film Screaming Queens)
