BTW
#PuertoRico has the longest christmas season in the world. it officially starts on the day of gringo turkeymaggedon and ends on Three Kings Day.
UNOFFICIALLY, when i was a kid, Christmas didn't end until el día de La Candelaria.
so after Las Octavitas, Día de Reyes and Fiestas de San Sebastián, many portorros declared Las Navidades officially over when we burned our arbolitos de crísmas on THE 2ND OF FEBRUARY.
so for +20 years of my life, #christmas lasted for 2½ months

#PuertoRicans are devising the #FoodSystem of tomorrow
by Ayurella Horn-Muller, September 3, 2025
Excerpt: "In the wake of #HurricaneMaria, many residents of #PuertoRico, especially those working to improve the archipelago’s local food system, began to think about hurricane preparedness differently. Because they weren’t able to rely on federal assistance, they decided to build their own prototypes of #resilience, which didn’t just set them up to be ready for the next storm, but also set them up to live better everyday lives. #Cooperatives, #gardens, and school-based agricultural programs emerged to fill the gaps left by the government. #Barter networks and local farmers markets have become increasingly popular. #MutualAid kitchens and community-led supermarkets have also expanded their work, ramping up donations, surplus food, and partnerships with nearby producers. These projects aren’t just temporary disaster responses. They are models of long-term resilience and food independence. They are living blueprints of what food sovereignty could look like in Puerto Rico — and elsewhere."

Un pequeño anuncio. Antes estábamos limitando la creación de cuentas en esta instancia a personas que viven en el archipiélago de #PuertoRico o afuera. Pero ya sentimos que podemos flexibilizar esa regla.
Así que si necesitas un rinconcito en el fediverso entendemos que #BorikenSocial puede ser una alternativa.
Las aprobaciones siguen siendo manuales. Seguimos requiriendo una razón para saber si eres una persona de carne y hueso. Pero prometemos responder tan pronto sea posible.
