#sealeychallenge El sueño de toda célula por Maricela Guerrero "Detener es otra forma de fluir."

The cover of El sueño de toda célula with watercolor leaves in varying shades of green. My hand holds it in front of a feathery green tree. The tree feathers make some nice shadows on the book.

The poem Preguntas with questions and a last line I love: Detener es otra forma de fluir.

Anybody know what kind of caterpillar this is? Seen in Mexico City. My Texas says it’s a Longhorn fan 🤘

A caterpillar that is burnt orange with a thin yellow band near the front end and two rows of tiny white dots along its back.

Look, Hillary was 800,000 votes away from DT in Texas. I don’t know about financing campaigns but it seems to me that campaigning in my home state could actually matter. Also the Electoral College is horseshit.
