#Repost @nytimes with @repostapp ・・・ Flávia Pinto, 31, with a portrait of her father, José Manuel Pinto, who died in 2015 from diabetes. The next year, José’s grave — in Tete, Mozambique — was ransacked. His arms and legs were taken. Flávia fortified the grave so that the rest of her father’s body would be left alone. José has albinism. In parts of southern Africa, albino body parts are thought to bring good luck. In #Mozambique, a person with albinism can be worth as much as $75,000. Since the end of 2014, dozens of albinos in Mozambique have been kidnapped or murdered, often by family members. In Malawi, 20 albinos have been killed in the same period and hundreds more attacked. And in both countries, the graves of albinos like José have been desecrated. This #nytweekender, where’s sharing @danirodriguesphoto’s images of people with #albinism in parts of southern Africa.

Repost from @nytimes - “This happened in Brooklyn. I was walking to the subway and approaching me, there are 2 tall, young white guys. And they stopped me and started speaking gibberish and sing-song and I didn’t quite know what was going on. And then I heard it …. ‘Go back to china.’ And then I knew it was about race.” — Connie Sun, cartoonist | Last weekend, @nytimes deputy Metro editor Michael Luo wrote an open letter to a woman who told him to “go back to China.” Asian-Americans responded with stories of their own racist moments. We asked some of the people who responded to come to @nytimes to tell us more about their experience. The photographer @karstenmoran took the portraits we’re sharing this #nytweekender.

@davidmauricesmith rocking it on the Nullarbor Plain #Repost @nytimes with @repostapp ・・・ The first European to cross the Nullarbor Plain in Australia, the English explorer Edward John Eyre said at the time that it was a “hideous anomaly, a blot on the face of Nature, the sort of place one gets into in bad dreams.” Somehow, Eyre's 1841 review made the photographer @davidmauricesmith curious to go. And so, he set off on a #roadtrip in “a rented caravan, with a little fridge stuffed with reasonably O.K. things to eat, blasting tunes, mostly classic rock.” Over 12 days, @davidmauricesmith traveled 1,700 miles taking photos for @nytmag. “Along the way, I met other people out there trying to find something, or get away from something, as everyone I met in the Nullarbor seemed to be,” he told @nytmag. @davidmauricesmith took this #selfportrait while wearing a headlamp near a rest stop in Balladonia, Australia. Visit the link in our profile to see more images from @davidmauricesmith’s travels across the #Nullarbor Plain, along with 6 other visual journeys that appear in @nytmag’s annual Voyages issue. #nytweekender

・・・ @edwintorresphoto returned to the #Bronx after college with a job for an insurance company and a bug for photography. “I wanted to pay tribute to all the classical Bronx images of photographers I look up to,” he told @nytimes. “Sometimes I wish I was born earlier, because of the moments they captured, but when I hang out, I realize the moments are still there, especially in summer.” Here's one example: kids jumping off the pier at Barretto Point Park in Hunts Point. But why swim in the East River when there’s a clean swimming pool just steps away? “Because it��s free from lifeguards and adults,” @edwintorresphoto said. This #nytweekender, we’ll be sharing more photos of summer scenes in the Bronx by @edwintorresphoto.

#Repost @nytimes with @repostapp. ・・・ There are places in the desert canyons of far West Texas where the border between the U.S. and Mexico amounts to a shallow, olive-green ribbon of water. In parts of @bigbendnps, the Rio Grande seems void of any power to divide. There are no boundary lines, no signs, no walls, no border agents on either side. The border all but vanishes here, both physically and politically. This month, a group of Mexicans and Americans — firefighters, conservationists and park rangers — set out for some of the most desolate stretches of the Rio Grande. Their task was not to put out fires, but to set them in a controlled burn planned to kill giant cane, an invasive grass. Accompanied by @nytimes reporter Manny Fernandez, the photographer @tamirhasacellphone spent 3 days documenting the group’s work. Here, Mike Ryan, @bigbendnps’s river ranger, towed a canoe packed with tools and supplies through the #RioGrande. #nytweekender

Mosquitos Aedes aegypti em um casulo de reprodução em um laboratório no Recife, Brasil. Como o vírus Zika se espalha em todas as Américas, as autoridades de saúde internacionais estão ansiosamente monitorando os esforços do Brasil para combater o vírus e para estabelecer definitivamente se ela provoca #microcefalia , uma doença incurável, com a qual as crianças nascem com a anomalia manifesta em pequenas cabeças. Desde que pesquisadores ligaram a Zika a uma onda de defeitos congênitos em bebês, os brasileiros têm chamando o vírus transmitido pelo mosquito de uma praga. O freelance fotógrafo @limauricio foi documentar os efeitos da Zika no Brasil. Neste #nytweekender, nós estamos compartilhando algumas de suas fotos. @nytimes - Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in a breeding cocoon at a laboratory in Recife, Brazil. As the Zika virus spreads throughout the Americas, international health officials are anxiously monitoring Brazil’s efforts to combat the virus and to establish definitively whether it causes #microcephaly, an incurable condition in which infants are born with abnormally small heads. Since researchers linked Zika to a surge in birth defects in babies, Brazilians have been calling the mosquito-borne virus a plague. The freelance photographer @limauricio has been documenting the effects of Zika in Brazil. This #nytweekender, we're sharing some of his photos.

“I had just won [a top award at @sundanceinstitute], and [my manager] wanted me to audition for the Latina chubby girl in a pilot. She wasn’t even the lead; she was just the sidekick, with the same joke in every scene. I said, ‘I’m not going in for that.’ When I ultimately left him, he [told] another of my reps, ‘Somebody should tell that girl that she has an unrealistic idea of what she can accomplish in this industry.’ That was someone I was paying to represent me.” — @americaferrera, producer of @nbcsuperstore In #Hollywood, exclusion goes far beyond #OscarsSoWhite. This #nytweekender, we’ll be sharing industry players’ personal experiences of not feeling seen, heard or accepted.

#Repost @nytimes with @repostapp. ・・・ People watched a boxing match on TV in #Harlem in 1966. In August that year, @nytimes ran a story about how Harlem residents wished more white people would visit the neighborhood. The article described Harlem in an almost anthropological way. Alongside the text ran 4 images by Don Hogan Charles, the first black photographer hired by @nytimes. The images he made reveal a much-different Harlem than the one portrayed in the text. We’ll be sharing more of Don’s photos this #nytweekender, as part of our #UnpublishedBlackHistory series. Visit the link in our profile to read the original 1966 article, and see more photos of #UnpublishedBlackHistory.

-- #repost @nytimes with @repostly -- “I’ve been in it for years. I was asked to make telephone calls. I worked at the polls. I had my picture taken with Mrs. Nixon, Mrs. Eisenhower. When Reagan came to Portsmouth, I set up a room for him and his wife. I’m in the book “Who’s Who in American Politics.” You can find me in there if you’ve got that book. I think it’s important to take part. Get involved. Do what you can. … Being 94 now, I kind of let other people do it. But I do still vote. And I still have signs in my window.” This #nytweekender, we're sharing Americans' hopes, fears and frustrations, as voiced to @nytimes reporters along the #Election2016 campaign trail. Follow along to see more portraits — like this one @chadbatka took of Shirley Hodgdon of Portsmouth, New Hampshire — from the ongoing series, #ofthepeople2016.

@Regrann from @nytimes - Juana Ocampo, right, attended a ceremony at her daughter’s grave in #Temixco, a city of about 100,000 people in Mexico. Juana’s daughter, Gisela Mota, was killed just hours after taking office as the city’s first female mayor. After arresting 2 men suspected of killing the 33-year-old politician, police said the murder was part of a regional campaign by a cartel called Los Rojos to control town halls and rob the towns’ resources. Meanwhile, in recent months, Los Rojos has threatened 13 more Morelos mayors. The photographer @adrianazehbrauskas took this photo for a story about why cartels are killing Mexico’s mayors.

Hmph. Now, I love circuses (the colors, the atmosphere, the costumes....) and I LOVE beautiful men (you don't have to desire something to appreciate beauty) and most of all I LOVE #BigCats ... I'm just anti big cats in circuses. I've lived the nomadic life style. That part of my history still affects my very settled life. So I know it's hard. Especially funds. With the amount of food and space needed to keep these gorgeous creatures properly maintained..... it's pretty much impossible to do on the road. The humans who take care of them choose this lifestyle. No one ever asked the cat's #oppinions . #Repost @stephsinclairpix with @repostapp ・・・ [7 of 12] Portrait of Alexander Lacey with his leopard Mogli. Alex travels with 19 lions and tigers, in addition to Mogli. "I’ve been around animals since I was 4 years old – baby tigers, lions, chimps, bear cubs. My parents owned two zoos in England. [They] said to me, 'It’s a way of life. It’s not a job. We have to be here 365 days a year. Your life revolves around the animals.'” This #nytweekender, @nytimes is sharing portraits I made while on assignment for the #NYTMag covering the circus. Documentary photographs from my two weeks spent traveling with the circus are now online and in this weekend’s edition of the magazine @nytmag . http://nyti.ms/1I1qoTf

#Repost @nytimes ・・・ Augusta Baker telling Halloween stories to New York City children at a Harlem branch of the @nypl in 1957. This #nytweekender, we scared up a collection of photos from our newsroom archives, known affectionately — and spookily — as the “morgue.” This photo, by @nytimes photographer Robert Walker, is one from a collection of #Halloween pictures. Yet in 1876, @nytimes attempted to tell readers that the holiday was about to become a thing of the past. “That last night passed over the heads of many who did not even recollect that it was Halloween we doubt not, and in a few years, when the older generation gives place to the new … the ‘heirs of civilization’ will laugh at the absurdities of ‘the old folks.’” #🎃👻 #halloweekender
