What do you think?
Millie: Oooh, I love that color. how much?
Lourdes: On sale!
Millie: Check if they have my size but
it has to be wide. I can’t do narrow,
thanks to the Colon family. We’re
like giants, stomping across rooms
alerting everyone we’ve arrived
Lourdes: I’ll look.
you working?
anyways,
this bitch trying to tell me how
I’ve been slacking, coming in late
and shit, being slow with the orders.
you know me. I let that bitch talk
and talk and talk and when she
finally finished that caca like she’s
the boss and not just another
heaux stuck in this office like me,
I said all calm,, “I’ll do better.”
but you know what I wanted to
say is I FUCKING QUIT or
BITCH YOU UGLY or FUCK YOU.
Millie: You need the job.
Lourdes: I need the fucking
job so I can buy shoes
Millie: We all got to play the game.
Do they have my size?
Lourdes: No.
Millie: Do you think she’s writing you up?
Lourdes: IDK. Maybe.
Millie: What does IDK mean?
Lourdes: Bitch, tu si eres vieja!
Ask your daughter. LMFAO
Millie: At least I know what LOL means
Lourdes: These would look good on YaYa.

Oye, where is she? She hasn’t checked
in since last night. Come in @yarelis
Yarelis: [image of drawing]
Lourdes: Que eso???
Millie: YaYa, what’s going on?
Why are you showing us that?
Yarelis: I’m just standing
here in front of this, crying
como una pendeja.
Lourdes: Where are you?
Yarelis: I woke up raw, so I called in sick.
And now I’m here, at the museum. I
don’t even know why.
Millie: What’s wrong YaYa?
Yarelis: I feel like I need a
cleansing.
Mille: Why???
Yarelis: This painting, it
makes me think of her. How
she’d press her cheek against
the small of my back and
listen to my breathing.
Millie: Oh YaYa, it’s coming up,
the anniversary. Isn’t it?
Lourdes: Maybe your mother’s
sending you a sign.
Yarelis: She’d say, each inhale
is a gift from god. No se, I
was mad at everyone back
then. What I would do to
have her listening to me
right now.
Lourdes: idk, you finding this painting,
making you think of her. She’s trying
to tell you something.
Yarelis: You think she wants
me to finish my Masters?
You think she’s disappointed,
like I’m wasting away my
life? Cuz when I look at
these dancers in the painting,
melting to the ground, it’s
like Mami is looking straight
at me, shaking her head.
Millie: What! Disappointed?
All you do is work. You’ve never
called in sick. Never. Should I
come get you? You’re not going to
do anything crazy are you?
Lourdes: YaYa, you looking at that
painting all wrong. It’s a bendicion.
Your mami is saying to live.
Wasn’t it Audre Lorde who said,
what we have to do must
be done in the now?
Millie: That’s right, YaYa, Lourdes is
right. Your mama is saying, live.
Feel. Dance. We know this
because we’re your sisters
Lourdes: [Heart emoji]
Mille: [Crying emoji]
Yarelis: [Broken heart emoji]
Millie: Let’s meet at Charlies
for R&B night. YaYa, don’t stay
in this sorrow. Come out with us.
Lourdes: [Picture of black boots]
