ourcatastrophe:
I always find it really fucking sad when activists and artists who die tragically are remembered more for their death than their life. Susana Chavez was the activist against the femicide in Juarez who was found dead on jan 6. I thought Spanish readers might want to read some of Chavez’s poetry.

loveandzombies:
“Ari Up, leader of the pioneering post-punk band The Slits, would have turned 49 on Jan. 17. She died of cancer last October (read All Songs Considered contributor Carrie Brownstein’s remembrance here).
