Alexander Hamilton | Ron Chernow

Got my Tee Rico hoodie today. I‘ve been experiencing conflicting feelings about #Ham4PR because while I do believe that LMM and the Flamboyan and Hispanic foundations he and his father have founded will do much to benefit the island, I see the critiques by people whose day to day lives are directly impacted by the presence of #Hamilton in PR, and it‘s not all good. Will continue to read and consider and hope. #RiseUp #MyShot #PuertoRicoStrong

abbielistenstobooks I also have troubles with LMM in PR. I love the show, but I've learned a lot about how problematic the show's presence in PR has been, and how he has not advocated well for the island. But... I love the show. 6y

kgriffith @abbielistenstobooks Yep. Are you on Twitter? Prof Yarimar Bonilla is a resource I‘ve come to trust over more than a year of her reporting during visits to the island, conferences, etc. 6y

abbielistenstobooks I... am, but I almost never go there unless there's some sort of event happening and I want to check in on first person reports. My FB friend Keila is from Puerto Rico, and she's got me following several people. I haven't heard of that person, but I'll go follow on Twitter! Thanks! 6y

My Shot (from Hamilton) (Mixed Voices) | Lin-Manuel Miranda

Day 17 - #myshot #musicalnewyear #hamilton

I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I‘m just like my country
I‘m young, scrappy and hungry
And I‘m not throwing away my shot
I‘ma get a scholarship to King‘s College
I prob‘ly shouldn‘t brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish
The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish
I gotta holler just to be heard
With every word, I drop knowledge

Dread Nation | Justina Ireland

Did a power sprint of reading to finish this gem last night. I really loved the whole book, but it definitely felt “unfinished”. This could be a personal problem because I almost never read series, so maybe that writing style just doesn‘t appeal to me? The whole premise of this book and the story telling are so original it‘s completely worth the read. I will be patiently awaiting the next book. #DreadNation #JustinaIreland #RiseUp #ReadingSprint
