Mexico - Blog Posts
It's crazy that the usa is constantly threatening it's allys like does it know that mexico is its ally like?? How the media and politicians treat mexico is so crazy when you keep in mind that mexico and us are allies. Like I know that us politicians are racist assholes with racist bigot bases that they are trying to cater to, but fuck man.
And recently now Canada is now getting hate by us politicians (trump mainly). It's so disrespectful to treat allies like constant potential enemies.
They want us to have no peace, only perma-war.
There are several forest fires out of control in Mexico right now, some of them affecting urban areas, there's also strong winds and lack of water making dealing with the fire harder.
Hay muchos incendios forestales fuera de control en México en este momento , algunos con peligro de afectar a las zonas urbanas. También hay vientos muy fuertes y escasez de agua por lo que apagar el fuego es todavía más difícil. Si están en las zonas cercanas tengan mucho cuidado y por favor acérquense a los voluntarios y donen víveres o lo que puedan
nobody is talking about this, the government is doing shit about it and this is some of the worst natural disaster coverage I've seen in Mexico. The people on Acapulco claim to not be receiving help from the government and the people trying to go to help claim to be turned back by the military.
The idiot we call president had the audacity of thanking god because "there weren't many casualties" when as far as we know the city was destroyed.
It's very likely that Otis was so bad because of global warming so we will see shit like this more and more often and is so fucking scary
⚠️ IMPORTANT AND SERIOUS MESSAGE ⚠️
Hi I don’t care if you don’t live in Mexico please reblog this I have not seen anyone talk about it on here only on tiktok but Mexico got hit with a huge and unexpected category five hurricane (without proper warning or preparation) in Acapulco (an area with around 1 million people) on October 25th and the government is not allowing media coverage. 27 people have died so far.
⚠️ UN MENSAJE MUY IMPORTANTE Y SERIO ⚠️ Repite este mensaje incluso si no vives en México
El 25 de octubre Acapulco (un zona que tiene un millión de personas) fue azotada por un huracán categoría 5 sin la debida advertencia del medios. El gobierno no permite que los medios cubran la historia. 27 personas han muerto hasta el momento.

I’m not going to be on Tumblr for a little while...
For the last few weeks I’m not very active because I’ve didn’t really have the motivation to be on social media AND I’m going to Mexico like by the time this is posted for a wedding my family was invited to. So I’ll post some picture while I’m there!
And by the way... has anyone read Linwood Barclay’s “Broken Promise”? I never read it yet... but I’ll probably be reading this while I’m up in the air...

A really ugly chichen Itzá drawing. You have to go there, it’s beautiful.
Yo no pedí nacer en México, sólo tuve la desgracia suerte. Hoy es 15 de septiembre, día de la independencia de mi feo país: México.
Así que he hecho un pequeño edit de mi sona para celebrar lo que queda de septiembre.

From Anthony Bourdain:
Americans love Mexican food. We consume nachos, tacos, burritos, tortas, enchiladas, tamales and anything resembling Mexican in enormous quantities. We love Mexican beverages, happily knocking back huge amounts of tequila, mezcal, and Mexican beer every year. We love Mexican people—we sure employ a lot of them.
Despite our ridiculously hypocritical attitudes towards immigration, we demand that Mexicans cook a large percentage of the food we eat, grow the ingredients we need to make that food, clean our houses, mow our lawns, wash our dishes, and look after our children.
As any chef will tell you, our entire service economy—the restaurant business as we know it—in most American cities, would collapse overnight without Mexican workers. Some, of course, like to claim that Mexicans are “stealing American jobs.”
But in two decades as a chef and employer, I never had ONE American kid walk in my door and apply for a dishwashing job, a porter’s position—or even a job as a prep cook. Mexicans do much of the work in this country that Americans, probably, simply won’t do.
We love Mexican drugs. Maybe not you personally, but “we”, as a nation, certainly consume titanic amounts of them—and go to extraordinary lengths and expense to acquire them. We love Mexican music, Mexican beaches, Mexican architecture, interior design, Mexican films.
So, why don’t we love Mexico?
We throw up our hands and shrug at what happens and what is happening just across the border. Maybe we are embarrassed. Mexico, after all, has always been there for us, to service our darkest needs and desires.
Whether it’s dress up like fools and get passed-out drunk and sunburned on spring break in Cancun, throw pesos at strippers in Tijuana, or get toasted on Mexican drugs, we are seldom on our best behavior in Mexico. They have seen many of us at our worst. They know our darkest desires.
In the service of our appetites, we spend billions and billions of dollars each year on Mexican drugs—while at the same time spending billions and billions more trying to prevent those drugs from reaching us.
The effect on our society is everywhere to be seen. Whether it’s kids nodding off and overdosing in small town Vermont, gang violence in L.A., burned out neighborhoods in Detroit—it’s there to see.
What we don’t see, however, haven’t really noticed, and don’t seem to much care about, is the 80,000 dead in Mexico, just in the past few years—mostly innocent victims. Eighty thousand families who’ve been touched directly by the so-called “War On Drugs”.
Mexico. Our brother from another mother. A country, with whom, like it or not, we are inexorably, deeply involved, in a close but often uncomfortable embrace.
Look at it. It’s beautiful. It has some of the most ravishingly beautiful beaches on earth. Mountains, desert, jungle. Beautiful colonial architecture, a tragic, elegant, violent, ludicrous, heroic, lamentable, heartbreaking history. Mexican wine country rivals Tuscany for gorgeousness.
It's archeological sites—the remnants of great empires, unrivaled anywhere. And as much as we think we know and love it, we have barely scratched the surface of what Mexican food really is. It is NOT melted cheese over tortilla chips. It is not simple, or easy. It is not simply “bro food” at halftime.
It is in fact, old—older even than the great cuisines of Europe, and often deeply complex, refined, subtle, and sophisticated. A true mole sauce, for instance, can take DAYS to make, a balance of freshly (always fresh) ingredients painstakingly prepared by hand. It could be, should be, one of the most exciting cuisines on the planet, if we paid attention.
The old school cooks of Oaxaca make some of the more difficult and nuanced sauces in gastronomy. And some of the new generation—many of whom have trained in the kitchens of America and Europe—have returned home to take Mexican food to new and thrilling heights.
It’s a country I feel particularly attached to and grateful for. In nearly 30 years of cooking professionally, just about every time I walked into a new kitchen, it was a Mexican guy who looked after me, had my back, showed me what was what, and was there—and on the case—when the cooks like me, with backgrounds like mine, ran away to go skiing or surfing or simply flaked. I have been fortunate to track where some of those cooks come from, to go back home with them.
To small towns populated mostly by women—where in the evening, families gather at the town’s phone kiosk, waiting for calls from their husbands, sons and brothers who have left to work in our kitchens in the cities of the North.
I have been fortunate enough to see where that affinity for cooking comes from, to experience moms and grandmothers preparing many delicious things, with pride and real love, passing that food made by hand from their hands to mine.
In years of making television in Mexico, it’s one of the places we, as a crew, are happiest when the day’s work is over. We’ll gather around a street stall and order soft tacos with fresh, bright, delicious salsas, drink cold Mexican beer, sip smoky mezcals, and listen with moist eyes to sentimental songs from street musicians. We will look around and remark, for the hundredth time, what an extraordinary place this is.
