Heavy traveling is finally done! I am back from the Allied Media Conference in Detroit, Michigan. I got some rest, some family time, and some time to catch up. I am still incredibly tired though, and I have to say, I really admire the shit out of la mala–that woman is a working machine. Kids hanging off her shoulder, food on the stove, three phones ringing, two workshops to run, and she still has the time to be pleasant and relaxed with her fellow bloggers!!!

It was a really great experience–I was especially thrilled by the Zapatista press conference (which I live blogged here). There is so much grassroots radical ground work going on–I just don’t even know what to do with the hope and inspiration it filled in me.

Like mala, I’ll be blogging about it. But for now…a picture of my Salmita, who I’ve neglected in the frenzy of summer. Pobrecita.

How I wish I was a Campari bottle at the moment.
