Eighteen years ago today. RIP Selena Quintanilla-Pérez.
All I can say is: Yankee, go home.
Last week, the photographer Matt Eich took The New Yorker’s Instagram feed with him to Sweetwater, Texas, for the Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup. At the roundup, held each year since 1958, thousands of wild rattlesnakes are captured, sold, displayed, and, often, killed as part of the week’s events. Click-through for a slideshow of Eich’s photos, and for more from Maria Lokke on his experience: http://nyr.kr/WONILl
