Humans of San Antonio

01/15/2024

This morning in the freezing weather, a migrant who traveled to San Antonio from Venezuela knocked on my door and asked me if i had any work for him. I called my friend Mariana , who is also from Venezuela, to help me translate.

He told us he has been traveling by train with a goal of getting to Chicago to unite with his family, but doesn’t want to go to the authorities because he’s afraid he will be detained.

We felt he was being honest with us and we gave him $40 to help him find a safe place to stay for tonight.

This made me think how lucky we are to have what we have. I’m grateful for my family, for my job, and for this thing we call life.

There are millions of people who are suffering much more than we can ever imagine. I hope this man finds his way to see his family again.

I also realized that if this man has the freaking strength and courage to travel all this way for a better life, in brutal conditions, to knock on a stranger’s door to ask for work, then we can also find the strength and put in the work to make our own dreams come true.

Last night was heavy.

My heart goes out to those who continue to be told who they should be and how they should live their lives. 🌈

End discrimination today.

Most of my girlfriends have been latinas and so I figured this would be a good time to make fun of some of the things they’ve put me through 🤣

My heart goes out to the mothers who lost their children this week. I can’t imagine what they must be going through.

I hope we choose to vote for gun reform and better mental health care services in the near future. Its the very least we can do.

***City of San Antonio urges public to avoid non-essential travel due to increasingly dangerous road conditions***

City announces facility closures, sends nonessential employees home

San Antonio, TX (February 3, 2022) – Sustained freezing temperatures coupled with wet roadways have caused icing throughout major thoroughfares in the region. As a result of the conditions, many streets and highways are being closed. Conditions are expected to worsen. The public should stay at home unless it is necessary to travel.

“Icing on the roads is a growing problem and conditions are expected to remain dangerous overnight. Don’t drive if you don’t have to. Please stay safe. City crews are hard at work making the roads as safe as possible,” said Mayor Ron Nirenberg.

Updated highway, street and road closures can be found here:

City Manager Erik Walsh announced that all non-essential City of San Antonio staff will be sent home, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Police, Fire and other critical City services will remain in operation. The San Antonio Police Department is implementing its Ice Plan.

“Public safety is our utmost priority. If you can stay home, please do. If you must travel, please proceed with extreme caution. The vast majority of our City team are the frontline workers who are working to respond to these weather conditions. Please keep the roadways clear for the safety of our crews,” said Walsh. “I encourage all major employers to consider the safety of the public and be flexible with their own employees as well.”

Has anyone else been yet for the holidays? I would love to hear about your experience! Im putting together a little recap video of some of the lessons I learned. It was wild and I don’t recommend it unless you are willing to urinate on yourself and get Covid. Well, hopefully Covid will no longer be an issue after this summer 🙏🏽
