Doc Watson dies at 89
R.I.P, Doc
A legend. I am saddened to hear this but grateful for his music and the way it has touched my life.
“My dream is to live in a better culture, where hospitality and respect would be their main values. Every morning I woke up and do more than write to wake up next day in my own dream. We only need to know what you would do to share it.”
”Mi sueño es vivir en una cultura mejor, una donde la hospitalidad y el respeto sean los valores principales, cada mañana me levanto y hago mucho más ke escribir para ke al siguiente día pueda despertar en mi propio sueño. Sólo falta saber qué haras tú para poder compartirlo…”
Agnes. Murdered.

What a tragedy.
I really wish that in articles about trans* folk, the authors stopped writing their birth names as if that was a necessary detail. Besides that, this is a powerful and touching article on an important life cut short.
Rest in peace, Agnes.

“I think the reports of my survival may be exaggerated. I’m in Babo Amr. Sickening, trying to understand how the world can stand by and I should be hardened by now. Watched a baby die today.
