Al sur de México DF hay una isla habitada por mil muñecas. Colgadas de árboles, clavadas en estacas con los ojos muertos.
Puestas allí para aplacar a los espíritus. (¿O quizá no?)

La canasta que envuelve su cuerpo, de fibra vegetal, solo dejaba al descubierto los dedos de los pies y la cara (aunque se descosió alrededor del cráneo). Es la armazón funeraria clásica de las culturas aymaras y puquinas que dominaron el altiplano tras la caída del estado /2
tiahuanaco (allá por el año 1100). Era importante que el rostro estuviera descubierto pues, de ese modo, el difunto podía "comer" y "beber" con sus parientes, pues era tradición entre los pueblos del sur andino ir a visitar a los muertos en fechas determinadas, cambiarles de /3
#DiaDeLosMuertos started on Oct. 31 and ends on Nov. 2. The #COVID19 pandemic has killed more than 5 million people around the world. I have lost an uncle, an aunt and a cousin. And Beloved @rerutled his father. I send love and solidarity to all who remember and grieve.
We are not standing on level grieving fields. With lockdowns being lifted in some places, we risk losing whatever small pockets of grief we are learning to stand in as govts, corporations, CEOs rush us out to “normal.”

José Cuervo Labastida, the second son of Malaquías Cuervo Flores and Francisca Labastida, was born on October 9, 1869, on the hacienda El Pasito in the foothills west of the town of Tequila in Jalisco. He was christened two days later in the parish church in Tequila.
Malaquías Cuervo was already a successful maker of vino mezcal (later known as vino tequila or simply tequila) at El Pasito and the neighboring hacienda, San Martín, where he had a small-scale distillery (or fábrica).

2/ During the trial, Mark Vicente testified that Keith Raniere bragged that #NXIVM was so massive, with so many interconnected companies under the NXIVM umbrella, that it couldn’t be taken down.
