Made an Instagram post and later noticed it had an “AI Info” tag. Turns out the instrumental version of the song I used is AI-generated. I’m annoyed at myself for not checking first. But I’m more frustrated by how much AI has seeped into everything. It’s getting harder to avoid. Tempted to delete it

Let me come back from the trenches and talk about something I’ve been thinking about for a long time: racialized exclusion… Because I’ve been trying to find language for some of the things I’ve experienced this year.

Crossed the stage and got hooded by Dr. Brea M. Banks, my academic advisor, dissertation chair, and one of my biggest inspirations.
T-minus 2 months until it’s officially Dr. Concepción Cabán… though my babies at the clinic have already decided I’m Dr. Lou🤍

I think we sometimes underestimate how much inequity in training shows up as silence. As lack of investment. As watching others be shaped while you’re left to self-construct.
I literally study this… Still didn’t prepare me for what it feels like to live it (over and over).

While working in this institution I’m reminded daily how privilege is often invisible to the people who benefit from it the most.
And when someone tries to add perspective, the response is usually dismissal, silence, or a subtle reminder of “place.”Prestige doesn’t erase inequality.
I’m tired.

I see folks debating Gaga’s part, but before cutting to her, Benito said “mira, esto es lo que tú querías?” (“look, is this what you wanted?”) and then showed an English-speaking white woman in a Latino-coded show. Not random. That was commentary on whose culture usually gets centered.

I’ve been so sentimental since the Benito Bowl. Today a care coordinator told me her husband is from the Virgin Islands and they cried the whole show. “No one who hasn’t lived this really understands.” That’s what representation does. It lets you feel seen.

Benito built a classroom, a memorial, and a protest on a football field. If that makes people uncomfortable, good. Art isn’t supposed to keep the empire comfortable.

Among everything I’ve learned, this job has officially taught me how to talk on the phone. I used to hate it. Now I still hate it… but I call parents daily and somehow end up enjoying it 🤣

Opinión | El autismo no es epidemia. La exclusión sí
En Puerto Rico, donde el acceso a servicios de salud mental, evaluaciones y apoyos escolares es precario, este tipo de narrativa puede ser devastadora, escribe Lourdes Concepción

THIS right here is what gives me hope and also makes me sad on days when this medical system drowns you, pushes you to push back, and teaches you to quiet your instincts. I won’t. The system is brutal.
I feel like teaching kept my compass set to dignity, community, and real healing. Deep breaths

Yesterday might’ve been my last time teaching for who knows how long, and that’s a hard pill to swallow. Teaching just makes sense to me. I know it’s where my passion is, and I really hope I get to do it in the near future…
