I’ve gotten the whole “you don’t sound black” line from the time I started school as a tiny alcohol-free Mojito. It’s the worst! What does that even mean. Do black people with English or French accents get that sort of fuckery as well? Do people roll up to Idris Elba and ask that kind of shit? I assume that those…

“You speak really proper English”. I hear that one a lot. I also take reservations for a tour company, and because I sound “white” I’ve heard some things that make want to punch the baby Jesus. People just assume things because I “speak properly” and my name is not “ethnic”.

I keep meaning to get back to this game. But I’ve got that Uncharted with Chloe coming out soon and then Assassin’s Creed set in Egypt (a setting I’ve been waiting for for years) in October...I need to do a second run through of Horizon Zero Dawn, too. This game... I want to like it more than I do. I just keep finding…

Man, Barak even got rid of those mom jeans and got some dark wash skinnies. I heart him.

I tend to say “see, what had happened was...” when I’m about to try to say something ridiculously outlandish. I know I’m about to try to pass a hot mess off as something perfectly normal. These days I’m old (40) so I have less foolishness to try to pass off.

My asshole cat doesn’t like boxes at all. But, her name is Sheba, like on the boxes.

I know in my heart of hearts that, as a Bears fan, I deserve this. Every nugget of bullshit. Every missed pass. The rest of the NFC North tromping all over us with neither pity nor respect. WE DID THIS TO OURSELVES.

There is more shit in this administration than in a sewage treatment plant.

I live in the Windy City. I’m cool with the wind. But I’m more down with the sky in Toussaint at night. If it weren’t for the Drowners and Nekkers and angry cats coming after me, I’d probably just stand there and tilt my camera up to look up at it. Being a city dweller, I miss actually seeing stars at night with all…

You people are dead to me! Tweekend by the Crystal Method is awesome. I’m about ready to fight you over Placebo as well. Hold my earrings, y’all.

I find that gif oddly fascinating.

Mexian? Asican?

I’ve sadly heard plenty of locals here use Chi-town. Or “The Chi”. Why Chicago, why?

Sadly, he’s too late for the 2017 wypipo tournament on the Root. Maybe next year?

Is he super swole to compensate for being named Abigail?

This. My hood here in Chicago has a heavy Mexican presence and the spices come in these little bags but they are super cheap compared to the McCormick jarred spices in the Jewel down the road. I also pick up stuff like quinoa and various noodles and lots of Asian staples for cheap at the same grocery store, since my…

I cannot star this enough.

Sidenote about the kitchen! My mom calls the back of her head this. Only the kitchen in her case is stick straight. The rest of her hair is a completely different texture. Side sidenote! My mother gets mistaken for being white all the time - specifically Greek or Italian. She is not. She is just pale.

I too, use dude or dudes in a gender neutral way.

That... seems like a very hard way to have live. :(
