Freaky Frightful Friday #FFF: The Chaneque (toon)
Mexico has its share of stories about the little people known as chaneque (Nahuatl) and alux (Maya).
Their appearance varies; sometimes they look like children, other times they have animal-like or deformed extremities, or are reported wearing traditional garb native to the area.

Chingones and Chingonas: You’ve got to see ‘Wonder Woman’
Chingones and Chingonas, here’s a movie you’ve got to see. Mujer Maravilla! FOR REAL.
Follow me on this. The original Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, if you know your Pocho Historia, is a Latina.
In fact she’s a lot like another rarely acknowledged Latina goddess of the screen, Rita Hayworth aka Margarita Cansino.
You like comic books and superhero movies? Of course you do.

I have been awaiting Anthony Bourdain’s “Parts Unknown” all my life
I have been waiting for something like Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown all my life.
Really.

Here’s what I Tweeted the night I saw it:
The show asked people like me what it’s like to be who we are and I never thought anyone would ever care enough to ask. @PartsUnknownCNN

The Barrio Nostalgia of ‘Veteranas and Rucas’ on Instagram
The internet is so much about what to look at.
For me, that’s weird. You see the bulk of the first part of my life was bound up with reading—which is all about looking at things, reading words, but has little to do with seeing, with reading pictures.
It is true that as a kid, I was all about reading while seeing, with Richie Rich, Mad Magazine, Vampirella, Batman, Eerie, and Plop! infecting the technicolor corridors of my imagination.
But after that came college and graduate school with a major in literature—so novels took over (that and critical theory), so words came to dominate the scene of my life.
