Today is Cinco de Mayo, a day of festivities that has morphed from a relatively quiet commemoration of the Mexican army’s victory over French troops in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, into a U.S.-centric, taco-infused, margarita-fueled celebration. But this year, Atlas Obscura is marking the occasion with this deep dive into Mexican culture. https://flip.it/tFksmY

After the first Trans Gay Migrant Caravan formed in 2017, LGBTQ migrants have become a more visible demographic among those making their way to or through Mexico. But they face a “triple vulnerability,” according to Dana Graber Ladek, head of the UN’s International Organization for Migration.

#art #history: i promised myself that this year would be the one during which i paid tribute to the revolutionary, frida kahlo (born #otd in 1907), & then i was too busy to do her any sort of justice. not only have i rushed her portrait, but i've also had no time to write up the sort of blurb that she merits. she was a death-defying, genre-spanning communist powerhouse & diego was punching waaaaaaaay up. :)
