Grammy-nominated Singer Susana Baca Hospitalised In Lima

Award-winning Afro-Peruvian singer and former culture minister Susana Baca has been admitted to intensive care in a hospital in Lima, her family said Friday.

Baca, a three-time Latin Grammy Award winner, is 79 years old.

"Susanita is very delicate, she is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the Edgardo Rebagliati Hospital, where the medical team is doing its best for her recovery," Baca's husband Ricardo Pereira said in a statement, without specifying the nature of her ailment.

Baca, an icon in her country and popular in the United States and Europe, was discovered and signed to the Luaka Bop label three decades ago by David Byrne, former lead singer of the Talking Heads.

She won the Latin Grammy for best folk album in 2002 with "Lamento Negro" and again in 2020 with "A Capella." In 2011, she received another Latin Grammy for Record of the Year for "Latinoamerica," her collaboration with Puerto Rican group Calle 13.

In an interview with AFP, Baca once compared her role in bringing Afro-Peruvian music to the international stage to the contributions of icons such as Cape Verdean Cesaria Evora and South African Miriam Makeba.

Her latest album, "Epifanias," was nominated in the best global music album category for the Grammy Awards handed out in Los Angeles this month.

In 2011, she became the first Afro-Peruvian to hold a ministerial post, but left the culture portfolio within months to resume touring.

Writers are scary because we’ll take personal trauma and think, "Hmm… what if this happened to my fictional characters but worse?"

“You can’t joke about being aro/ace makes you better than others as you don’t care about romance/sex, that’s offensive to non aro/aces!”

Listen carefully, you can JOKE about it. The same way lesbians joke about being better as women as better, same way that bisexuals or pansexuals joke about being better as they have a taste of everyone. Same way trans women joke about being better as they’re now the “better” gender in dress/aesthetic.

It’s a joke, just like every other “I’m better jk” joke in the queer community.

You just don’t like it as you feel like not having sexual/romantic attraction is a bad thing. You see being aro/ace as a bad thing. That’s why you don’t like it. You don’t like the idea that someone can be happy with the fact they don’t experience romantic/sexual attraction.

In my personal opinion, I’m incredibly happy about being aro/ace and I feel like I am the BEST version of MYSELF no matter what other identity I could/“should” be.

And yes I make jokes like “ew romance” and “ew sex” and “bro just break up” and “so glad I’m aroace and don’t have to deal with that shit” BECAUSE I CAN.

Note: obviously/srs people with it aren’t great, but they’re not bad people either. You can say “being aromantic is actually the best /srs” you probably shouldn’t say “being aromantic is the best and superior to all other identities making me better then all non-aromantic people” unless you’re joking

what abled ppl think is a massive problem for disabled folks: 13 year old on the internet faking something

what is actually a massive problem for disabled folks: "well you don't LOOK disabled, are you sure you're not faking? I'm not giving you accommodations until you PROVE you're not faking. Please give me, a stranger, your medical info and explain your condition to me in detail so I know you're not faking and only then will I respect or take you seriously"

Hey everyone! I'm here to make a callout post for @aroallothoughts . They have been policing others identities, been inherently acephobic, spreading misinformation, encouraging discourse, and supporting negative stereotypes. Please find a better aroallo blog! This user has been incredibly rude and illogical. Block him! I would reccommend @aroallo-corvid instead!
