Of cupcakes and reproductive rights

We the daughters and grand daughters of shame were taught to hide our periods, super hide them and never talk about it.
To hide our bodies, to not be fat, to not be a slut, to not share the stories of our sexual abuse, to not be hormonal, and definitely be a good girl and don’t ask questions such as is there a space, a blurry boundary between sex and my feelings?
Never have I ever met a single girl or woman that didn’t share their abortion story with heaviness and shame. Who didn’t hide it from their family, or friends or took it very seriously and in its entire heavy weight.
And to put the entirety of that weight on just women is unconscientious. Furthermore to be judged and legislated but the farthest thing from our peers is enraging and frankly should be ilegal unto itself.
Reproductive rights are human rights. What we experience as women is not separated from the human experience.
So Wherever you stand on on this issue, here is the beauty of it: you can stand on that and in your religious beliefs without curtailing the right and health of others. That lives in your heart and in the nature of your relationship with the divine. But if that same heart calls for you to act on helping children here are some wonderful actions that we have to take: our foster care system is broken, CPS has proven to be an inefficient system in protecting children, there are thousands of immigrant children in cages, family homelessness is on the rise and something as simple as pushing congress to allow diapers to be covered under food stamps can make a big difference!
And I see how this ain’t sweet and it’s the farthest thing from a cupcake that there is but if you stayed with me on this rant I’m here to tell you that a lot of wonderful people have put a call for action and a fundraiser for reproductive rights and we are making chocolate stout cupcakes with @humblesea‘s stout with a hazelnut frosting and a 100% of the profits from it is going to @plannedparenthood. As we stand with them in solidarity 💕
🌸 @Humblesea Memorial Day starting at 11 am
Thank you for reading 🌸

Well well well this Friday we are back doing our thing at @scmbrew and we are bringing the sabor, batería y reggaetón (ok maybe not reggaetón) with the return of the Reina Pepiada 👑 first of her name, breaker of avos and queen of all Venezuelans! So come see us this Friday and get your arepa fix! #dontcallitacomeback

Last Sunday I had the pleasure to be part of a wonderful fundraiser for Little Hill Sanctuary at @elkhornsloughbrew and was happily surprised at how many folks braved the rain and came out for it. But mostly I was reminded of the unbelievable hard work and love that comes with the trade. For people to put out there their projects, creations and products they believe in so much they work the extra hours, the heartache of when your equipment breaks or you feel sick or just run down and have to keep swimming because you don’t have a well established machine that has your back (maybe not just yet). So, in the words of Depeche Mode (yeah, I went there), here is a plea from my heart to you: spend your money locally, buy products of folks you know. Know your brewer, your baker, your jewelry maker! Spend money in local services. These folks are pouring their hearts out in their work and you will get a fine ass product that also builds your community 🌸🌸

It’s #nationalrescuedogday and I’m here for it! Get yourself a shelter dog, give them a home and you an adventure partner, a forever cuddlererer (yeah I make up words 🤷🏾‍♀️🐕), an explorer, a reason to go for a walk and see the flowers! There are so many beauteous dogs right now at @officialscanimalshelter and other rescues. Go check them out and play!

We are out here with cauliflower bbq tacos, topped with pickled daikon, a tamarind based chili sauce and our salsa de ajo! Come get some tacos and beer and top it off with a Oreo donut from @vegandonuts831
And the sun is shinning on south county 😊😊 10% of today’s profit goes to Little Hill Sanctuary 💕

Because there ain’t nothing sweeter than kindness and we want to support Little Hill Sanctuary but also, hopefully, showcase how we can eat well and be kind, and eat foods that carry a little less suffering in them, we are making 4 kinds of tacos for tomorrow’s event:
•cauliflower bbq tacos
•hibiscus and caramelized onions •jackfruit sofrito •Korean bbq

Now please don’t get me wrong, I am a vegetarian and not vegan and the dietary spectrum of folks I consider to be their own and sometimes I think we approach things shaming folks more than offering an accepting space where everybody can take steps as they can. But that’s just it! We can all take a step, one day a week, one step, to try to eat good, nourishing food that celebrates and holds the sanctity and preciousness of all living beings 💕 we can all try to give it a go and be inspired by these wonderful folks!
Ps.- there will be churro donuts by @vegandonuts831 so there’s that too!
Pps.- you also get the delicious beer and good company of the folks at @elkhornslough_org
