I have not even heard of any of these. Currently a friend loaned me a YA book called House of the Scorpion that I am liking (it’s science fiction and the protagonist is Mexican and I always love that because there aren’t enough Latin@s in science fiction). Once that’s done (and I think it’s a trilogy) there was a Dan…

I can get behind that.

Tell me how it is! I was a little hesitant about it.

I’m glad you answered this. It confirms that we have similar tastes, which I have previously suspected. I am clearly your close friend who you don’t know even exists.

In my presumably Hulk-like rage, I didn’t read all the way to that clarification you had a bit earlier. Sorry about jumping the gun.

I’m half Mexican and half white and I have an inclination toward Latin@s.

Do Texans know that the only reason Texas became a state was because of illegal immigration of US Americans into Texas (when it was part of Mexico)?

They could at least put Hamilton on the $20 when it comes up. Because Hamilton is awesome and Jackson is fucking terrible.

So I don’t care for Harriet Beecher Stowe, but she would be an example of an author who would count? Not saying it should be her, she was just the first to come to mind.

Also Hamilton and his wife did good things for orphans and orphanages. At a time when lots of orphans were sold as indentured servants. Hamilton was so boss.

Thank you so much for this article! Just last night someone asked what my dream job is. It’s to build costumes for Del Toro movies, so this is pretty coincidental.

Aliens will know!

Yeah I really don’t get what is with “Irish” Americans. They may have never met a person from Ireland, but they still think they are exactly like Irish people in Ireland? Weird.

I’m really sorry people have made you feel like you can’t use your given name. That’s total bullshit and is, sadly, apparently pretty common.

I get the feeling that many people would have more respect for an “Equation” than an “Equayshawn.” Personally, I think that second one is pretty bitchin.

Thirteen Ghosts is great! I mean it’s terrible. But if you are into that sort of thing you will probably love it. And the cast is great! It has F. Murray Abraham! You know he classes that shit right up.

Welcome home!

Also Thirteen Ghosts (although it’s still a cheesefest) and, in my personal opinion, The Crazies. I’d say True Grit is of a similar level of quality to, if not even better than, the original, too.

I am now imagining my snake being a dad and saying this. Also I imagined a King Cobra dad saying it.

They at the very least look more awesome than normal awesome people. Also, I have a mental illness. So even not knowing the statistics, her helping people get the correct treatment instead of death makes her a goddamn big hero.
