Lo; also known as Mechanista. Likes fish, robots, necromancy, and long walks on the beach. An ardent and angry feminist, masculist, and humanist, and a self-identified progressive liberal pinko. Reblogs feminist and political things half the time, neat pictures, fanart, and science stuff half the time, and posts her own art, thoughts on art theory, mysticism, and feminism the other half the time.

laprima510: thinkmexican: 11 Year-Old Carries On Family’s Aztec Dance Tradition  San Francisco Mission District resident Connie Xochiquetzalli “Xochi” Peña has been an Aztec dancer all her life. As a 2 year-old, she danced an entire parade route. Now 11, Xochi sometimes steps in for her mother and teaches dance class at the Mission Cultural Center. She comes from a long line of Aztec dancers. Her great-grandfather on her mother’s side was also a dancer in her family’s native Toluca, Estado de Mexico. Xochi has big plans for herself, ones that include practicing either law or medicine. If dancing parade routes as a toddler and teacher classes while still in the sixth grade is any indication, we’re sure she can do anything she sets her mind to. via SF Gate Photo: Rod Yip/The Chronicle mis respetos!
